Path of the Razor's Edge

Path of the Razor's Edge - (4501)

There are many spiritual paths. Some are fairly wide and some less wide and some narrow but there is one that as far as I know is the path of the razor's edge.

It is really the rigour of the ethical component that make a path the razor's edge.

A razor's edge implies that there is very little room to move left or right. Meaning that whatever one does, one must be correct.

Getting it wrong means to slip or fall off. We can always get back on and we must do that.

Of course though the razor's edge gets sharper the further one advances on the path of the razor's edge. The sharpness of the razor is not as sharp at the beginning as it is towards the end.

The razor is many different factors, at one point it could be time, at pine pint, it could be sacrifice, at one point it could be ethics and so on...

I have always asked why a razor's edge. The answer is in the serious reality of the aim of that path. If a path is to take a person to integration with the soul, with the spirit and beyond, it has to make one soul, spirit. So such a path has to be strictly adhere to the principles of the spirit so as to in truth make soul and spirit.

If a path is not strict to the principles of the soul and spirit it won't produce soul and spirit.

Other paths that are wide may not be able to achieve their aims if they are not at some point narrowed in the adherence to the principles of their aim.

End (4501).

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...
