Introduction to the Fall of Man

Introduction to the Fall of Man - (719)

Overview

Especially when we are a witness to the cruel and violent actions of human beings, the topic of the fall of man rises to the surface of our mind, making us to reflect. Given these actions we somehow suspect that humanity has fallen, and that human beings were not meant to be like this. We suspect that things are not the way that they should be, though how, when and why humanity has fallen to become like this, remains a mystery to us.

If humanity had not fallen there would be no religions. This is because the role of every religion is to raise man up to be with God once again. The very existence of religions and the current state of affairs with all the widespread pollution, greed, cruelty, war, famine and atrocity is evidence enough that we have fallen.

The more we think about it, the more we can come to the conclusion that we have fallen, however the questions: when, how and why remain, and because we can not find immediate answers, the issue of the fall sinks deep into the back of our mind to be forgotten and the concerns of the business of our daily existence take the forefront.

For any sort of writings regarding the fall of man to be complete, they should answer the three questions: when, how and why of the fall. Furthermore, such writings if holding the best intentions for the human being at heart, should not escape mentioning the consequences that the fall has had for the human being, and most importantly the way to altogether reverse these consequences.

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
