The Inferno - (353)

The Word Inferno

The word inferno comes from the Latin ‘infernus’ meaning ‘being underneath’, and many of the world’s religions, myths and traditions locate the last order of creation, hell, the inferno, the underworld, the abyss etc below the earth’s crust.  


Known to many of the World’s Cultures

The infernal worlds have been known by many past civilizations and cultures, for example the Greeks knew it as Tartarus, the Hindus as Patalla, the Romans as the Averno, the Tibetans as Avitchi, the Aztecs as Mixtlan, the Mayans as Xibalbá and the Hebrew Kabbalists as the Kliphoth.


Kliphoth

The Kliphoth is the Tritocosmos and is the shadow of the tree of life or perhaps better said an inversion of the tree of life. As shown in the diagram on the previous page the whole of creation can be organized into the tree of life and its inversion. As the tree of life has nine sephirah above Malkuth (physical world) its inversion or shadow has nine sephirah below Malkuth. Which are the famous nine Dantean circles, spheres, regions or infra-dimensions of the abyss.


Below is a diagram of the shadow or inversion of the tree of life showing the nine circles or spheres.


Conclusion

Kliphoth comes from the Hebrew Klipha meaning ‘shells’. In contrast to the sephirah of the tree of life, each sphere of the Kliphoth is an empty shell, because they are devoid of the divine attributes present in each sephirah of the tree of life. In fact each sphere of the Kliphoth contains attributes that are the antithesis of the divine attributes of the tree of life.

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).
