Second and Third States of Consciousness Notes - (5791)

Notes - Second vs Third

The second state of consciousness is called vigil, because that is the main task: to be vigilant always watching consciousness to be it back to reality and the present moment. 

In the second state, our consciousness sleeps, dreaming projecting forwards and backwards in time.

In the second state our attention is constantly hooked.

When our attention is hooked for too long we identify with what our attention is placed on. 

Once we are identified we become fascinated and once we are fascinated we begin to dream. 

When we dream we are hypnotised by the interests of the new identity we have assumed.

When we are hypnotised we are far from reality.

To be aware and awake is to see reality.

Consciousness sees reality. That is one of its main functions. It is light that sees what is, that is, what there is to see.

In the second state we are not responsible, there are many contradictions and we do nto know oursleves.

In the second state of consciousness we do not know what happiness is nor what love is.

In the second state of consciousness we do not know who we are. 

Peope livfe most of theri livfges in the second state and often they do not know who they are, and are always in the process of loosing and finding themselves. Always working out what to do next and not knowing if that is the right thing to do or not. Not even knowing what and why they are thinking.

We are not real in the second state of consciousness because most of the time we are not present and we are not psychologically inwardly responsible and continuous. We stray away from ourselves far too often.

When we are in the third state of consciousness we are real and life is much more real.

In the third state, we know ourselves, we know who we are as consciousness and we clearly know what we are doing here (dissove the "I's").

The personality must be passive to enter the third state of consciousness because it is simply the wrong identity. The third state of consciousness is strictly for ourselves as essence and consciousness nothing else.

The third state of consciousness is for the consciousness.

The fourth state of consciousness is for the Inner Being.

In the third state of consciousness there is choice, we can choose love or happiness. 

There is NO choice while in the second state, there is little ability to chose love and happiness when external factors are against us. 

In the second state love and happiness are as fleeting as the wind and depend upon external factors. While in the third state, one knows what happiness and love are and can chose them when circumstances are not in our favour.

We sometimes in emergency situations enter the third state of consciousness because the personality is shocked into passivity and is fully displacement. 

In the third state our attention is cyrstallised in presence.

Consciousness is light and is nuetral.

To enter the third state much energy is needed which has to be accumulated through conscious choice and the continual power of being consciously present.

To awaken one must divide their attention. As soon as we divide our attention, knowing that we are observing ourselves there is an awakening.

Conditioned consciousness is sleeping consciousness.

End (5791).

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...
