The Many Types of Students - (4775)

Those that Stay a While and Leave

Master Samael said that the Gnostic movement is like a train that many jump on and many jump off. Few are those that stay on the train to the final station.


This section looks at the different types of student that stay on the train for a while and then jump off.


There are those that leave quietly and those that leave with a bang!


Those that stay to learn something and once they've learnt it they leave the train. 


Those that while staying, teach (mostly indirectly) the instructor and some group members an unexpected practical lesson, and then leave. 


Those that come by recurrence and leave by the same recurrence.


Those that come by positive recurrence and leave by a different 'negative' recurrence.


Those that come by themselves and leave because of someone else.


Those that come to heckle and challenge and then leave.


Those that use the group or some of its nicer members until they can and then leave. They seemingly were never a part of the group in their emotions.


Those that feel they 'know' (cup very full) and deserve quicker access to advanced levels. 


Those that are brought along and the one that brought them leaves, while they stay.


Those that shine and leave and those that apparently never shone and leave.


Those that promise they will never leave and do. 


Those that leave quietly with little to no explanation and those that leave explaining (justifying) a lot. 


All those who leave, leave for unhappy reasons. They may be happy to leave but the reason they leave is that they are not happy.


Finally, those that say they will be back but never show again.




Those that Stay

There are always the pillar of support students who have been there from the beginning of the group's formation and continue to be a unfaltering pillar of support.


There are those that stay constant and firm quietly blending into the background.


There are those that are a little challenging.


Those that help a lot and those don't help out much.


Those that have good faith and are still working things out...


There are students who give more and then there are students who give less. 


Those who are sincere and try their best and those who are present for other reasons than themselves.


Those that are present out of loyalty and those that are present because they have nowhere else to go.


Those that love the work and Master Samael (Logos) and are doing their best and putting their best foot forward for the path.


And Then the Lesson

Everyone gives of what they have to give...


It is true that every student has something to give and every student contributes to the overall group  dynamic, identity and energy. 


It is so difficult to tell who gives the most to the overall group energy, because all students give more in other ways and less in other ways. 


There is a wonderful variety of all under the sun...where everyone has a role, are useful and are necessary...


End (4775).

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...
