Symbols and the Consciousness

Symbols and the Consciousness - (5048)

It seems like there are certain living energies that move through the collective consciousness of human beings.

It seems like these energies are universal and have their origin far above the minds of human beings.

The Holy Grail is one such archetype. This is what Master Samael says about it.

"For sure, the Knights of the Middle Ages looked for that Chalice, from which the Christ drank in the Last Supper (symbol of the Yoni), however they never found it, this is obvious. But as a memory of those times, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the fight against the Moors, the Cup remained in the Olympics (the Cup that is given to the winners in the Olympic Games, has the origin of that Cup). Do not forget that it represents the Yoni, that is, the female sexual organ. So, in the realm of the Suprasexual, the Chalice and the Spear are sacred..."

The archetype carries a certain life, which is what gives it, its perennial presence through the ages. If something has life, always implicit inside of something that life is a living principle.

It is this principle that is alive and moves through the consciousness and collective consciousness of the world.

It is also this principle that captures the imagination and heart of human beings, just Master Samael alluded to with the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail represents the Alchemy, sacred sexuality which is the key to all power and regeneration is the primordial quest of residing deep in all human beings. We all strive in various ways to empower, transform and rejuvenate ourselves.

The very interesting thing to note here, is that when an archetype moves into the individual consciousness of the human being it is first known to us by a symbol.

Only by a symbol entering our consciousnesses do we get to know these archetypes or living principles.

The symbol of course is not the archetype, the energy and life is the real archetype, yet the symbol itself represents the reality of the archetype and also tells us more about qualities, expressions and nature of the archetype so that we can better understand it.

Our consciousness uses the language of symbols.

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...
