In the Beginning Awakening is Separation

In the Beginning Awakening is Separation - (541)

Introduction

In the very beginning in the work on ourselves, separation is crucial. That is the student has to one day notice a separation, that is the separation between observer and what is being observed. Or in other words the thoughts or the voice in our head and the person who is listening or witnessing those thoughts.

That separation between the voice in our head and the one who is listening to the voice is crucial. Separation produces two things and that gives us the chance to contrast ad to notice the real and the unreal.

Real and the Unreal

That separation of there being a listener and there being a voice is the start of the awakening. What the real and what is the unreal. The real is the listener and the unreal is the voice. To know this we have to observe the voice. How do we know this, simple because the listener is always there as our awareness (we are awareness) and there are times (not very often mind you) that the voice goes completely quiet or even disappears. So if the voice was to disappear then if we are the voice we would then disappear, but that is not true, we stay and we feel totally great even when the voice disappears. So we are not the voice we are the listener, always, always and always.

The awakening is to know that we are the listener and that we are not the voice.

Awakening is to Know the Real

Without that separation and contrast between the listener and the voice we would not be able to awaken. To awaken is to know or realise the truth or the real. When we wake up even only for a second we know that we are the listener and then there is the voice that we are observing and we know that we are not the voice. So no separation no awakening.

Conclusion

We must always make that separation inside of ourselves, between listener and the voice. And identify ourselves as the listener, as awareness and then if we can go deeper into the silence of awareness and intensify our awareness and look towards the source of that awareness – our Spirit – our Being – our Atman.

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...
