Conclusion of the Abyss Study - (370)

Introduction

I agree with many other people that the abyss is a place that we Gnostics don’t want to go or end up, and so we shouldn’t dwell too much on it. I agree with that, though all in balance. To ignore it completely is I think wrong, to think about it all the time and be scared of it is wrong as well.
I think the wise approach is to study the abyss and the errors and causes that can take us there so that we can avoid going there or ending up there. However, it is also very well known that in the work on ourselves and in the initiatic path, the initiates spend great lengths of time there working to dissolve their defects. They obviously do not enjoy being there but it is necessary to go there to get to know their defects, comprehend them and eliminate them.

To Know

There is that principle that we can not get free of something that we do not know. It is always that which we ignore or do not know is that which traps or enslaves us.


What I have Learnt

I learnt from this study that really the breeding ground for the abyss is here in life on level zero, in the realm between the abyss and the heavens. We actually start our descent to the abyss here in the physical world or we start our ascent towards the heavens here as well.

The mistakes that take us to the abyss are performed here in the physical world and the acts that take us up are carried out here as well.

The density and heaviness of our psychology takes us down there after we die physically.

We here of course have a very big decision to make. Should we think, feel and act to go up or to go down. Many of us have already made that choice – to go up. I think just understanding or knowing this is a big help for us, because it makes us more responsible for our destiny and it makes our time here on ground zero, the surface of the Earth much more valuable, because our time here is the a launching pad to take off or either slip downward.


Fear of the Abyss

The major psychological factor in the study of the abyss is fear and the non-acceptance. The fear I believe has to be overcome. It is much better to work on ourselves for the yearning of freedom and to be with our Being than to work on ourselves to escape the abyss because we are scared of it. There are points when we forget this fear and then of course we do not work on ourselves.

No Fear of the Abyss

Really fearing the abyss is something a little illogical. Why? Because it is almost natural or normal for us in our sleeping hypnotised state, that is the abyss is natural or normal according to the way we are and the way we live, in that in the abyss one experiences the egoic states that we live in nearly all the time and are so normal to us. In the abyss we of course have to deal with the egoic states of others which we do all the time anyway.

We have to define ourselves for the light because we may feel very prone to accept the egoic state as natural and then just go to the abyss. But we have to define ourselves for a different nature the nature of the Being which is our primordial, first and only real nature. This is where transmutation comes in because with transmutation we can change our nature to that of the Being’s nature.


Summary - Diagrams

The following diagrams give a good summary of the structure of the abyss or the Earth’s inferior dimensions.

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...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
