Sivananda About Atman or the Intimate - (835)

Introduction

The following text comes from a documentary made by a Gnostic institution that provides a really very interesting description of Sivananda’s teachings on Atman and how Master Samael found his own Intimate using the method taught by Sivananda.



About Atman and Bragma Murtha

“Sivananda used to see the interior life development of a man as a construction of a house. He said that the thoughts were the plans of the architect. But who is the architect? The architect is the conscious will at the service of the Intimate Master.

In the Intimate, in Atman, Sivananda saw the key to the path. In order to walk the path to self-realization correctly, we have to seek the Intimate in ourselves. Sivananda said that the right time to seek for the Interior Master is precisely HIS time, which he used to call 'Bragma Murtha', meaning the time of Bragma. It starts exactly 2 hours before dawn and lasts until the Sun comes out completely.

Sivananda said that we had to start our daily journey practising esoteric exercises, saluting the Creator, as Master Samael advised a gnostic student once: “Every gnostic should awaken early to do their esoteric practices”. After the Salute and prayer to the creator, Sivananda advised to sit and practice pranayama, to transmute the Christic energies, the prana of life in us. These should be followed a deep meditation on Atman, the intimate master.”


Netty Netty – Practice to Find Atman

“The discipline of Gnana Yoga is the best way to get it. This method comprises of self questioning: 'Who am I?' that is to say, what is my true identity. Once awaken the inquietude of knowing who I am, we need to practice what Sivananda used to call 'the doctrine of Netty Netty': This is not, this is not, this is not. Doctrine that should be applied to each one of the existential bodies of the Being. “I am not the physical body, I am not the astral body, I am not the mental body, I am not the body of will, I am not the consciousness, the Buddhic body . This is not, this is not, this is not. And once rid of the existential bodies of manifestation, we can answer the enigma, who am I? with the supreme affirmation: “ SO-Ham”. I am HIM, I am HIM, I am HIM.”


Master Samael and the Netty Netty Practice

“The young Samael used to practice in this way, as he said to us that by following the strict rules of Gnana Yoga, he reached the union with the Intimate. In his advanced practice, Master Samael also got to experience the illuminating void, the experience of the great reality, at a young age for 3 consecutive times.

These experiences allowed him to directly experience the psychological reality of the ‘I’. He comprehended that the ‘I’ is the obstacle that takes us far from the reality. Since then he'd become the enemy of himself. He declared the interior war on the ‘I’. Since then he fought restlessly to eradicate the ‘I’ from his interior nature.”


End (835).

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).
