Why Three Minds

Battle Between Sensorial and Inner Minds

Intermediate Mind

Inner Mind

Three Minds and Relationships


Introduction

We need to know our mind. We need to know how our mind works. To know our mind is to know how we relate to life and how we can better relate to life. We use our mind 24/7 yet there are really few who know it. We need to know how to use it and what it is good for. In our studies we need to know how to best use our mind. This topic gives us this knowledge.


Notes

The three minds are three layers of the mind. Our mind is like an onion with three layers. With the outer layer being the sensorial mind.


We need each of these three layers in life. Due to not knowing about the existence of these minds we use one mind for everything, which is where we go astray. 


To live a balanced spiritual life we need to use all three minds within their correct orbit of function. For a normal and common materialistic type of life we can ignore the inner mind but for a spiritual life we certainly can not do that.


Each mind deals with each of our three realities.


We often dismiss one mind using the other. For example the inner mind is often dismissed by the sensorial mind.


The mind is an instrument. This we need to understand. It is an instrument of our consciousness. It's authentic role is to be something receptive and passive. Where it receives the messages from the consciousness and presents them on what is often called "the screen of the mind" for the consciousness to see. In other instances the mind's role is to reflect the truth, that is to gather the facts and present them for the consciousness to discern and interpret.      


Each mind can give a different answer to the same event of life. That answer will be according to the data that each mind works with.


The inner mind is concerned with the advice that comes from the values or qualities of the consciousness. As the consciousness is free from thinking, the inner mind sets us free.


The sensual mind puts us into contact with the physical world and is the appropriate instrument to deal with the issues and matters of our physical life. Such as money, budgets, schedules, fixing things around the house (trades), food, cleaning, sports, travel etc. 


The sensorial mind is an ignorant mind and often a mistaken mind, as our senses are defective and convey inaccurate information to the sensorial mind. The sensorial mind then elaborates reasoning and concepts based on information that is false.


We can not study and understand esoterism with the sensorial mind. We need to learn how to access the other two minds.


All three minds ideally should work as one, however the ego has made them to work separately and in an unbalanced way. Where we actually just live in one mind only.


We need to transcend both the sensorial and intermediate minds to go to the inner mind. If we can not do this we will experience a lot of frustration in trying to understand our spiritual studies.


The sensorial mind puts us into contact with the physical world, the world of three dimensions. The Intermediate mind puts us into contact with conceptualisation and opens and starts the movement towards the inner mind. The inner mind puts us into contact with the consciousness. 


A belief starts as a concept. A belief is a concept that has been invested in with our emotion and our faith. Beliefs are a lot stronger than concepts and we become very attached to our beliefs.


Conscious faith belongs to the inner mind. Faith belongs to the intermediate mind. Skepticism belongs to the sensorial mind.


The inner mind knows the truth, the intermediate mind deduces the truth and the sensorial mind witnesses a part of the truth.

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...
