Close but Not Quite -Teaches Us A Lot

Close but Not Quite -Teaches Us A Lot - (5807)

Near or close misses teach us a lot. It's like we go right to the edge and get to look down below.

There we can see the danger and what's expecting us if we are to go over.

It's all about timing. To be able to stop in time.

This is the second level of learning. The first level is our consciousness alone, the second level is the edge and the third level is over the edge.

Maybe we have to go over the edge a few times to benefit from the learning of the edge.

Maybe we have to go to the edge several times to be able to benefit from the consciousness alone.

The learning from the edge goes like this: we back away and we come back to ourselves and our life and we appreciate much more what it is that we have and nearly gave away...

We also learn at a deeper level how much more complete or convenient the line was that we were following before we met the edge.

We may also have discovered the folly of the illusion or false values and beliefs that took us to the edge...

The third typwe of learning over the edge, is bitter and requires much recovery depending on how high the cliff was. The learning of the edge does not spell disaster but almost does and there is little to no recovery.

There is no risk in the first learning, little in the second and great risk in the third.

We can take a horse to water but we can't make it drink. These three learnings teeach us to drink and to drink better and more.

End (5807).

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...
