Minor Initiations Notes

Minor Initiations Notes - (4484)

What is the best preparation one can find for the path? The minor initiations.

The purpose of the minor initiations is to prepare the candidate for the path.

This implies several points. Here is a list of points.

The minor initaitions make the candidate a 'person for the path'. Not a 'person for life'.

The minor initiations reduce our animal nature and bring out more of the real human nature in us.

They teach and work to instill in the person the values and principles that are needed for the path.

They also help to prepare the person for the particular way the Monad of the person wishes to walk the path.

They bring out the weaknesses that must be overcome so that the path in the future will be successful.

They educate the person about the nature of the path. They serve to transfer one's centre of gravity from life to the work, path and Inner Being.

They prepare the person to understand why the practice of Alchemy and to be 'path hardy' ready and fit to face the trials and ordeals of the path in general and the way in which the Inner Being wants to live it.

They intensely assist in trasnferring one's points of reference from the personality to teh work, the path and the Inner Being.

Through the unfoldment of generally difficult circumstances they teach one how to go to one's consciousness and to the work and how to consistently rely on the inner world (consciousness, Being, Masters of the White Lodge) to solve our problems and difficultites.

They assist in clearing much karma. The karma that must be cleared to relatively more free to walk the path.

The minor initiations are very particular and depend entirely on the weaknesses and karma that each person has.

In conclusion, in the realest way possible to prepare ourselves for the path we must seek teh minor initiations.

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...
