Nature of Gnosis in a Gnostic School (155)

A Straight Description

To give you a very straight description, Gnosis is very dynamic and revolutionary in nature, Gnosis as a knowledge promises us the result of setting us on a path that will lead us to freedom and the development our essence/consciousness. However, as with everything it has its price and it is like everything in life, it is not so easy, there are challenges, there are hurdles, difficulties, obstacles, sacrifices and suffering.

If we don't experience any of these things to be very honest with you things are not going very well for us on the path, because this is the nature of the path, people on the path pass through great difficulties, sufferings and shed many tears. I know this for sure, first hand seeing and hearing about the path of some others.

When we Suffer

If I suffer or experience bitterness I try to remind myself of this and to work hard to get through it, because really it is there to help me and us to go ahead. It is little bit like a storm that we have to hold on tight and not let go until the storm passes and the calm comes. Every difficulty on our path is like that.

Well sometimes an ego can really bother us continually for a good while, but we have to work on it hard, just as hard as we work on things or projects physically in our job or at university. So if we are experiencing some bitterness that is good for the path, we are moving on it, we have been given the opportunity to know ourselves more and to overcome concepts and beliefs inside of our mind to get more consciousness and freedom and then be able to progress in our path.

Conclusion

If we work sincerely we will triumph and the sun will shine again. To make us ready for the next period where the sun will be clouded and we will have to work hard again.

End (155).

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it. She is better than Google... End (5780).
