Lessons from the Silent Flute or Circle of Iron In Relation to Lust - (940)

Silent Flute or Circle of Iron?

The movie starring David Caroldine and originally written by Bruce Lee is really worth watching and is full of lessons. This post is about one lesson to do with lust.


The Scene

Cord the seeker faces his next trial “the rose in the dessert”. This trial has all to do with lust. Cord finds himself in front of a very beautiful, accommodating yet tempting Tara who is married to Shamsa. Cord has been travelling alone for many months or years and is tired and has endured many hardships along the way and Tara’s offer of companionship, affection, pleasure and comfort are too much for him to resist, so he succumbs to her offer.


The Lessons

Lesson 1

After cord has spent the night with Tara he awakens the next morning in a desert on the bare sand and all the people, tents, animals, festivities etc. are gone, nowhere to be seen.
.
This is a very important symbol because it tells us that what awaits one when one gives into their lust forgetting themselves is an inner emptiness, abandonment and loneliness.


He even finds Tara crucified which causes him tremendous pain once again teaching us that after lust there is pain!


Lesson 2

Cord later finds his guide on the top of mountain and in this scene shown below cord tells his master that he learnt that he can not possess anything even what he loves. His master replies “every moment changes you, how can you possess something or someone else when you can’t even possess yourself”.


This is important because lust is about possessing, and of course we can never possess what was never ours in the first place (others belong to their Beings) and what's more we can never possess what leaves us all the time (people have to leave us, they can never be with us all the time). We can not possess another, all that we can try to possess is to be possessed by our Being. We can not possess another, only they can be possessed by their very own Being and this is what hurts lust tremendously and that is why lust turns to become so very controlling, all the time trying desperately to grasp and hold onto what it likes but it can never do it, old age, death, circumstances of life and many other things will always take it from you.

End (940).

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).
