Self-Remembering and Attention

Self-Remembering and Attention - (4624)

We just have to make self-remembering work for us.

The key we are told is our attention. We need to be able to put our attention on our Being and keep it there and after a while of keeping it there, we can perceive, feel and experience things that are not of the ordinary states of consciousness that we normally run our life with.

The key I repeat, is to know how to put our attention on our Being and keep it there.

To be awake as our degree of free consciouness allows us, we are told, means that our attention needs to cover what we are doing, our psychology and where we are. That is the start but it is not complete. We need to add the moment to that or better still our Being.

When I say our Being, I am not saying that image of the heavenly Father that we all have, a magician dressed in robes with a pointy hat up there in a temple somewhere, no not at all. I am referring to our very presence or capacity of being alive, present here in the physical world which indeed comes down from our own Being.

Put your attention on that as well as where we are, what we are doing and our psychology. That is then really complete. The key then is to keep it there. Our attention works like a flame on a stove. It takes several minutes to boil water on the stove because time is needed for the flames of the stove to heat the water to 100 degrees Celsius. As soon as the water boils vapours rise and things are different - some of the water begins to change state. The same with our attention and our state of consciousness.

In summary, put your attention without thinking on the three areas, then include the moment, then include the Being and do your high almighty best to keep it there without thinking, without the narration of your mind, then repeat and repeat working this until it becomes more and more natural.

We are told our Inner Being can help us much better when our attention is on It, and we are with it because our attention is on It. Our Being can communicate messages or impulses to us in Its own way...

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...
