Notes on Conditioning of the Past

Notes on Conditioning of the Past - (4514)

The right way to look at the past is to look at it with hope. Because by seriously working on the past we can create new strengths.

If we have no past of weakness there is nothing to transform into strength. Thanks to the past weaknesses we can now develop new strengths.

Redemption and the past are linked. We don't redeem ourselves from the future nor the present.

No past then nothing to redeem ourselves from. But yet we are fallen and so there is much to redeem ourselves from. Our inner redemption is complete when we have cancelled the cause of our falls in the past.

The key to redeeming ourselves is the past, and ridding ourselves of that inner guilty feeling to our Inner Being is seriously transforming the past.

When we have transformed the past we no longer feel guilty. Because the possibility making an error again is gone because now there is a new strength and no possibility of erring.

Every weakness of the past can be transformed into a real strength.

The past holds strengths and virtues in potential.

The past holds much wisdom in waiting. A wealth of wisdom from lived experience.

Such statements as: 'once an alcoholic always an alcoholic" in the work are not true. We know that once the "I" of alcoholism is dissolved we are no longer that.

The past is only as valid to the degree that it is relevant to the present moment.

Some keys to freeing ourselves from the conditioning of the past is hope in the work. Working on the past, forgetting the past, embracing the moment and trusting in whatever is happening right now in the present moment. This even includes trusting that in the apparent 'bad' that is happening to us in a the present moment.

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...
