A Benefit of Astral Unfolding - (410)

Image
Introduction Astral unfolding is a marvellous way for us to know ourselves beyond the body. Know the Soul and Diminish the Fear of Death It actually helps us to come to come to know the soul. For us to know what is beyond matter, with the astral we come to defeat the fear of death and know what is beyond the body and death of it. An Astral Body We need an astral body to be cohesive in the astral; otherwise we go as essence and as psyche. Because our psyche is very disorganised here in the physical world we are very disorganised in the astral and because of the special property of the Astral hat what we project becomes our reality we dream and see and experience things that are not real are chaotic. Conclusion Our awakening in the astral starts here by awakening in the physical and organising our psyche here. The astral allows us to see ourselves esoterically, to know what affinities we have, who is linked to us in the good and in the bad, to see our ...

Rejection has a Very Positive Side - (409)

Image
Introduction When you think about it rejection has so many positive things about it. I’ve listed them all below. Positives of Rejection List It is a clear and definite answer to our question or proposal. It takes us back to ourselves. It opens us up to the new. It takes us to the next choice, or next alternative or next stage or part of our endeavours. It takes us the work on ourselves. It takes to us re encounter ourselves where we had forgotten ourselves completely perhaps. It takes us to re-evaluate our situation so that we can start again and improve and do it better. It makes us to think of a new solution or alternative. It makes to become creative, to draw upon our innovation, imagination and resourcefulness. It takes us to teach ourselves new skills and strengths. It takes us one step closer to the right solution or right situation, or person for us. It takes us to improvement. It wakes us up. It takes us to acceptance and reality. It takes us to love w...

We Are Alone Anyway - (408)

Image
Introduction - Rejection Rejection has to happen, after being rejected we are alone and we are alone in so many ways anyway before that. Alone in Many ways Before the Law, before the Being, before our health, before our body, before our work, before our own psychology and emotions, before our own responsibilities towards others, family, friends and co-workers etc. we are alone. Before God, before the Masters, before the truth, before death we are alone. We are born alone and die alone. Before the Absolute we are alone but once inside the Absolute that is a different story. We are one with all and everything and everyone. Expect to be Rejected How can we not be rejected if the other person has the elements inside of him or her to do it. How can someone not get angry with us if they have anger, how can someone not disrespect us if they have pride. We can only expect such things as peace, acceptance, love etc. all the time if the people that we want them from are aw...

Intimate Christ and the Cosmic Christ - (407)

Image
Introduction Are they related? Is the Intimate Christ of each individual related to the Common Cosmic Christ of all of us? The Cosmic is the Sum of all the Intimates I have heard from my teacher that the Cosmic Christ, the Great Second Logos of the Universe or the Absolute is the sum of all the Intimate Christs in creation. Our Intimate Christ is in Him and has come from Him and will give Him all the knowledge, experience and wisdom that He (the Intimate Christ) acquires through our work and future work. So all the wisdom of the all the Masters who have ever live is in Him. All the Love of all the masters who live and have lived on Earth and the other planets is in Him. Conclusion The Cosmic Christ is the sum of all the individual intimate Christs and the wisdom and knowledge of the Cosmic Christ is the sum of the all the wisdom, knowledge, consciousness and experience of all the Intimate Christs. That is ...

Transmute Sexual Energy with Will - (406)

Introduction The sexual energy can at one stage quite advantageously transmuted with will and a certain degree of internal determination. Key The key is to not give over the control of your sexual energy to your false enthusiasms or fascinations or identifications. Will and Determination Transmute with much will and determination, where one wills the energy to be subtracted from the sexual organs and rise as energy up the spinal column and into the brain - with one being determined to see one’s own energy rising up one’s spine into the brain, thus having control over one’s own energy and possessing it for one’s Being. To the Being or Inner Divinity Giving the transmuted energy to one’s own Being is really the best destination for our sexual energy. Any other destination is certainly of no help to us or our internal Divinity and in most other cases a real waste. Conclusion Transmuting with will and determination allows us to really transmute in any way...

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Image
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...

Lust Separates the Centres - (404)

Introduction Lust is the separation of the centres and the separation from the Being. It is to separate sex from the rest of us. Reason for Violence The separation that lust produces and the disconnection from benefiting of the whole is what sows the seed for violence in the human being. That is why of the violence in sex and outside of sex against others. The very lustful person is also a very angry person. Solution – Transmutation - Unity Transmutation is an agent of unity because it is a moral and unifying spiritual pleasure and it is healthy - helping the body and all the body’s centres by providing them with energy. Lust is the pleasure of one centre that leads it to deplete itself. Lust really does not make much sense. Conclusion Lust in the sexual centre acts as a runaway train, crashing and creating disaster and inevitably colliding with everything in our life, eventually taking our life into turmoil. It collides with aspects of our life but transmuta...

Why Gnostic Retreats can be Difficult - (403)

Opening Statement No Gnostic retreat is awful, it is only our own experience of them or rather our own interior state during the retreat that can be what we may call awful. This post offers an explanation as to why this can happen, that is our interior during a Gnostic retreat be disagreeable. One Reason Gnostic retreats can be awful because we have something within ourselves that is against the work, and because of that, we fear seeing all our Gnostic brothers and sisters working on themselves and progressing and a part of our psychology dislikes that. Remedy It is easy to resolve this situation or interior state, just get stuck into your own work and when you are deep into it, you will like your work, you will feel that you are working and you will change your attitude and look forward to the retreat to sharing what you have learnt with others, and you will listen intently to others for anything that they that may help you to improve our work. End (403).

Lust is the Search for Pleasure without Consultation to the Whole - (402)

Introduction There are many definitions that we could give to lust, and as one’s level of understanding grows so too does this definition. Anyhow at the moment I have this definition of lust to forward in this post. Definition Lust is the search for pleasure of the sexual centre without consultation of or to the whole. What this really means is that lust is the psychological process or processes where a decision is made to procure the circumstances where the sexual centre can act in such a way that it experiences sensations that fuel a desire to experience more sensations until the sexual centre’s capacity to continue experiencing sensations is overwhelmed. Sexual Centre Acting by Itself In lust the sexual centre is set up to act all by itself. In the case of lust the sexual centre is the centre leading or driving the situation. It is after the stimulus to produce sensations. It is of course an absurd situation because the sexual centre is devoid of vision, the sexua...

Redeeming the Functions of the Being - (400)

Right and Wrong When the function of the Being is redeemed He, the Being learns what is wrong and what is right. With this knowledge He can then execute that function correctly, and when that happens the ego’s role is over. Comprehension The hard part is getting to that stage, understanding that the ego has a function and understanding the right and the wrong and then anchoring one in the right through deep comprehension. This does take time and involves knowing very well the wrong functioning and more importantly knowing with our consciousness that it is wrong. Comprehension is Action We know that something is wrong when we stop the wrong in action and do the right in action. Repentance When this understanding is arrived at the ego loses much force. This is because the ego is the wrong functioning of the Being. Repentance is really a deeper understanding or a deeper level of comprehension and it incorporates both right and wrong and the knowledge of both and...

When Passing a Temptation you are Rewarded - (401)

Image
Introduction We think while being tempted in the difficult battle that we will lose out on something. Is that true though? Rewarded You Will The truth from experience is that we are rewarded or compensated. Just wait for it and it will arrive always. Usually through the same element or similar that the temptation was related to. Conclusion Just remind yourself of this when in the difficult battle that you will not lose out, you will be rewarded in a better, more sublime and beautiful way. End (401).

Seeing the Ego Right or Enjoyable Means Comprehension is Lacking - (399)

A Help When I find it really difficult to weaken or comprehend an ego I remember this: “The stronger an ego the more it takes to comprehend it”. So then I relax and keep working on it, feeling very hopeful that I will crack it soon. The more I work the closer I get and the more you work the closer you get. When It Seems Right When I am struggling with the hypnotic grip of an ego where it seems so right and I feel enslaved and compelled to do want it wants I remember this: “If we still enjoy or see the ego right, it is because of a lack of comprehension”. This gives me tremendous hope because it means that if I keep working I will come to understand it and separate it and see it totally differently and start to get free from it. Conclusion Hope and perseverance summarise this post. The answer is to know that work and comprehension is the answer, have hope in that comprehension will deliver the answer and be perse...

Logic of Pleasure - (398)

Image
One Sided or Unilateral It is very one sided. It is the gratification of the senses without respect or concern for other factors. It also is only concerned with the moment; never does it see the future or the past. Senses and Psychology It is about just pleasing the senses and the psychology related to the senses. It is not of the Being or of the eternal. It is basically of the body and mind. 100% Selfish The logic of pleasure is 100% selfish. That is why when the logic of pleasure operates it hurts others and other things. Conclusion The logic of pleasure does not consult ever, any other factor only the desire and senses in question. If we consult the whole, that is the other aspects of our life and body and mind and essence or spirituality we open a door for ourselves to be able to defeat it. End (398).

Creation is for the Monads - (397)

Image
Imbalance Initiated Creation Master Samael says that what initiated creation was an imbalance amongst the three Gunas and an imbalance within the Monads residing in the Absolute. So the Monads initiated creation basically for them to pay their karmic debts from previous cosmic days and for them to correct the imbalances within them that caused their exit from the Absolute. Because the Monads initiated creation, creation is basically for them. Monads to Self-Realise When a Monad self-realises it restores balance within and without in a small way within creation and within the Absolute. Also each time a Monad self-realises it enhances the wisdom,, knowledge, experience and self-realisation of the Absolute. So really creation is for the Monads which are in human beings, and which are also in plants, animals and minerals that later on will be human beings. Conclusion The human being is very important actua...

Who or What in the Cosmos is the Most Important? - (396)

Image
Question Who or what is more important in the cosmos? Is it animals, plants, planets, galaxies, stars, moons, suns or human beings? Possible Answer Initially we may think it has to be suns, planets and galaxies. Of course this is quite true. But perhaps a truer or more to the point answer could be human beings. Why I have never heard of plants, animals or minerals reaching the self-realization. Neither actually have I heard about planets, suns or galaxies reaching the self-realisation. It seems that only human beings are the ones that can reach the realisation. So from the point of view of creation, as creation is there for the Monads to pay their karma and get their realisation then human beings are the most important because through the state of a three-brained being (human being) the Monads pay their karma and achieve their self-realisation. Conclusion Maybe the important thing in creation and t...

Earth’s Karma is as Humanity is - (395)

Image
Introduction This post follows on from previous posts, expressly the posts which established that humanity is a very important organ of the Earth. This post essentially says that because humanity is part of the Earth the karma of humanity is also the karma of the Earth. State of Humanity We all know that the state of humanity is not at all good. There are so many problems and difficulties that if were different in our nature and psychology these problems, conflicts, struggles, difficulties would be greatly diminished or even non-existent. Because we are like this in our nature, with greed, violence, lust, pride etc. we actually destroy other human beings and parts of the planet. Organs of the Earth Fighting Each Other Because humanity is harming the Earth with mining and deforestation etc. and harming harming itself with wars and conflicts it is very similar to the situation of a body’s organ attacking its...

Humanity is an Organ of the Planet - (394)

Image
Introduction We most certainly believe that we human beings have life, we may even believe that we have a soul and a spirit as well. When it comes to animals and plants we see that they have life but we consider them as an inferior form of life or a form of life that is without soul or spirit. Besides the latter point in general we still seem to have some respect overall for plants and animals and do consider them as having life. However, when it comes to the Earth, our planet we seem not to be so convinced that the Earth is a living and breathing organism. Maybe that is why we in general are so willing to exploit it rather than protect it. Maybe we see the Earth that way because it is doesn’t talk to us or because it is so much larger than we and we can hug it and put it into our arms and examine all of it or maybe it is just because we are so self-centred and we see ourselves as the only ones that have real life and anything else is there for our purposes. The Earth has ...

Sexual Centre an Instrument of the Being - (393)

Image
Esoteric Understanding This post is about an esoteric insight. I think all esoteric knowledge when comprehended with our consciousness can have the power within us to put the ego aside. From an esoteric point of view our body and our centres belong to our Being, because with them and through them He completes his work of realising Himself. So most certainly, the sexual centre is His most precious and powerful instrument for His realization. How Much? The thing is, how much do we understand that? How much do we in our mind, heart and sexual centre understand that? How much do we live that out? Maybe we are just starting and that is good, because when we do it, we arrive at peace and lust suffers a considerable defeat or weakening at least. Implications of the Sexual Centre Belonging to the Being The sexual centre belongs to our Being. So what we need is not necessarily what He needs. If we surrender our s...
