Why is Something Empty?

Why is Something Empty? - (5700)

Empty words, empty promises, empty friendships, empty marriages, empty ideas, empty apologies, empty activities, empty plans, empty talks...

Going by how many expressions of 'empty' there are in the English language, it's not a far strethch to say that 'empty' is a common human experience and perception.

What makes something empty? From my reflection, something is empty because it lacks the presence or the support of the consciousness or the heart…

I think that we can say the presence or support of the consciousness is at least the presence of one of the attributes of the consciousness, such as the love of the consciousness, the force of the consciousness, the wisdom of the consciousness and the will of the consciousness.

The support of the Divine Law and the Divine Being also make something 'full', or at least to have substance, meaning and significance.

Something that is empty is totally the 'known' and is mechanical and superficial. It only has superficial meaning and purpose. There is no heart in or behind it. There is little or no truth and living ‘will’ inside of it.

We may feel empty just sitting there in our life because we have lost contact with our interior, and our source of life, consciousness and enthusiasm.

After a big mistake we all feel empty. After a fall the feeling of emptiness is strong and 'real'.

When we distance ourselves from Divinity through protest, disobedience, neglect, desire, lust etc. we feel terribly empty.

After harming others we feel empty.

When we lack love, vision, hope and faith in something or someone we feel empty in relation to that something or someone.

When are not 'walking the talk' our words are empty.

When we are in-love with someone else our marriage is empty.

When we do not care, our promises are empty.

When we lack responsibility our presence is empty.

It goes on and on...

The work on ourselves is the remedy for emptiness.

End (5700).

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...
