Centre of Gravity and Relationships - (4611)

A centre of gravity is expressed through a relationship of any kind, whether it be with a person, a job, a hobby, ourselves, even a pet.


A centre of gravity is a quality that a relationship can acquire.


For a relationship to acquire this quality the elements of a centre of gravity must be invested into the relationship. These elements are always: time, energy and attention and the cause is either love or necessity.


People in a relationship, often unknowingly, make their centre of gravity the relationship, both in life and in Gnosis.


Human beings make their centre of gravity to be something or someone because of love for that something or someone. Whether that be conscious love or another type of love that is less conscious.


When we use a less conscious form of love we create a centre of gravity mechanically.  


When we work consciously with love, we are able to chose our centre of gravity. When working for our self realisation, we use conscious love to make our centre of gravity to be our Real Inner Being. 


When two human beings in a relationship make their relationship the centre of gravity, certain characteristics become visible. Some of these characteristics can be clearly seen when the relationship is given priority over the many options that are presented. Another characteristic is that decisions are always made to benefit the relationship and another is that time and energy are mostly spent for the relationship. 


When people have their centre of gravity outside of themselves, such as in another person or in a relationship, they create a base in the other person. That's why when a person in the relationship falls ill or the relationship ends, one or both of them will feel lost, hopeless etc. This is also why people feel so affected by what the other person says and does, because the centre of gravity amplifies everything, making the other persons actions so important to us. 


A centre of gravity always forms a foundation for the person. The work is the best foundation because after a while it becomes one with us and it can never leave us. But when we have our foundation in something outside of us, it will one day leave us and we will be inevitably lost.


Solving problems and always trying to make the relationship better, is what keeps us so busy, engaged in lots of talking and using our mind to solve or improve things. This unavoidably makes our centre of gravity to become the relationship. Which for any Gnostic person is inconvenient, as then the work on themselves stops.


An alchemical relationship is for the Being, however it is not the Being. To make the relationship the centre of gravity instead of our Being, causes a lot of pain and suffering. An alchemical relationship only becomes useful for the path, when the centre of gravity of both people in the relationship, is the Being. 


What the focus should be, is making the work of the two people in the couple, to work. Not making the relationship to work. There will always be differences and both people in reality have to come to terms with living with their differences and respecting the differences.


In a Gnostic couple when the centre of gravity is the work, both people think, feel and act by virtue of the work. The work is always with them and they constantly relate to each other through the work.

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...
