Against Pessimism

Against Pessimism - (4869)

The following post is a set of notes taken during an online class given by m.m.m tonight: 5/9/23.

The only way to survive all the tests and karma that we have is to put Gnosis in our consciousness and 'be' our soul.

What is related to pessimism is having a sluggish circulation. A pessimistic person is a person who is slow and has a lot of inertia. A person who is energetically heavy.

A pessimistic person is one who is slow to decide, slow to move, slow to change, basically a person who is heavy and does not flow with the 'flow of life'.

A pessimistic person tends to physiologically have thicker blood than normal.

Pessimism comes together with suffering and melancholy.

An optimistic person is the opposite, full of life, excellent blood circulation, decisive, full of vitality and one that is light so as to be able to easily flow with the 'flow of life'.

Melancholy, fear, skepticism, self-compassion, pessimism etc. all attract and gel together and produce a distinct heaviness that is like an immobilization of the soul.

It stems from pride and is a kind of rebellion against the Being.

Every ego is a weapon of the sleeping consciousness.

A pessimistic person is one who has frustration and unfulfilled desires and fights outwardly against others secretly looking for compensation for not being able to fulfill those desires. Not being able to fulfill those desires makes a person pessimistic.

Optimism is a state of consciousness. The world can be falling down around us yet we are optimistic.

As soul we can do anything. We can transform anything.

When in a pessimistic state we think things are too hard and that things won't work out. Basically in pessimism there is a great lack of belief and trust in ourselves. It is really a lack of belief trust in our capacity and ability to lead ourselves and others out of a difficult situation.

The remedy is to start to believe in ourselves right here and now. Generate that belief and trust right now!

Change our outer and inner language to speak with optimism.

End (4869).

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...
