The Hermetic Seal

The Hermetic Seal - (1)

Following on from the previous blog, the hermetic seal is something to do every day.

What is the Hermetic Seal?

The Hermetic Seal is a resolution that we take every morning. The goal of the Hermetic Seal is to save energy, so that that saved energy can be invested in our psychological and esoteric work.

How is it Practiced?

The Hermetic Seal is a practice where as soon as we wake up, we make the firm decision to not identity with anything. This ‘anything’ includes thoughts, emotions, memories, internal images, events, people, words and any sort of impression that we receive during the day.

The practice of the Hermetic Seal is really about exercising our self-observation or alertness and our will. We first have to observe or notice that we are identified and then apply our will to disengage from that identification.

The Internal Tongue

A major part of this practice is not letting the internal tongue go wild. We have to be aware of the internal tongue from moment to moment.

What we need to do is to observe what our internal tongue is saying and release whatever issue the internal tongue is chattering on about.

Don’t let it go wild. Rein it in!

Realistic Practice

We won’t be able to practice the Hermetic Seal perfectly. It takes an enormous amount of practice and psychological work. So, don’t expect to be practicing it perfectly, expecting to do so will only bring you tension, disappointment and a head ache.

Just practicing for a short time during the day will allow you to taste the benefits of it. So start off naturally, the most important thing is be consistent and make a start and when you forget restart and don’t feel bad about it – just restart.

Just a little something, your ability to practice the Hermetic Seal will vary from day to day so don’t worry if on a given day you are weak, just keep practicing.

Practice it!

So just take action and start practicing the Hermetic Seal and experiment for yourself, feel how much it benefits you. Don’t worry if you can’t practice it for a long time or that you can’t do it perfectly. You won’t be able to. The most important thing is that you just do it at your capacity and level of ability.

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
