Sphynx Evaluation

Sphynx Evaluation - (4138)

We can all do an evaluation of the qualities of the Sphynx...

There will always be some qualities that we have more of and some we have less of, no matter what octave we are at...

What we lack though we will notice something very interesting and helpful. That is, what we lack there will be an abundance of examples around us for us to learn from, and many opportunities for us to develop it.

Maybe even to start with, to learn we need to imitate those examples, that is until we come to understand why it is needed, how best to embody it and how to best apply it. Because for sure we will get it very wrong sometimes when we apply it and sometimes right, until we get the conscious understanding of how to apply it.

Well its a matter of noticing things, learning and developing them...

How do we develop a virtue or value? First we have to know that we lack it and that it is needed. Then study it and then learn its mindset, that is learn its psychology. True, every value has a psychology, meaning that every value has its own way of thinking and corresponding feeling, just as every ego has its own psychology.

The psychology of any value or virtue is based in truths, esoteric principles or psychological and physical truths. Which is very different to the ego's psychology.

For example, take the courage of the lion in the Sphynx. What is its psychology? To advance, to try, 'it is better to try than to not try', 'you never know if you don't try', to jump first and conquer as the way to solve an issue rather than run and wait for the storm when the storm could have been prevented. Trust that courage to jump and face problems produces a better result than hiding. Go and get things wrong: 'I'll just pick up the pieces, make corrections and try again'. The heavens are taken by storm.

The lion is also fire. Each element we know has a psychology as well. The psychology of each element is characterised by its particular qualities. Strength, enthusiasm, expansion, transformation, energy, definiteness, mysticism, liberation are the qualities of fire. Courage in many ways takes on board these characteristics.

But we know fire out of control is dangerous, fire always has to be in its place controlled and directed.

The same study can be done with the remaining values of intelligence, mystical yearning and tenacity.

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this. In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...
