Contrast for Heaven’s Sake

Contrast for Heaven’s Sake - (1437)

Come On Contrast – Use it!

Take the ego and the way it made you think, feel and do and contrast that with you without that ego.

See the turmoil in your mind, the tumult of thoughts, the guilt, the indecision, the strong processes of the ego and the thoughts that say it is wrong, but unfortunately those thoughts lack the force to sway the balance in favour of the essence and the work.

Take the Ego

See the emotions, see the actions, see the consequences. See the bitterness, see the karma in action, see the reactions of others. See the lament, see the regret, see the appeasing promises for the future, see yourself hitting your head against the wall clamouring “Why why?”.

Take the Essence

See the peace in the mind, the focus, the calm - steady and secure emotions. The content of walking in the right direction, the trust and peace before ones’ inner Being and before the Law. The absence of debts – tranquil freedom, the absence of painful reminders, the absence of contradictions of having to fulfil promises made and not wanting to. No frightening warning type of dreams. Wake up in the morning clear of anxiety, no more pangs of pain during the day, only a clearer inner vision and a step (even a baby step - much better than a step backwards) closer towards the radiations of the Divinity that dwells within.

Choose

Bring both of these two experiences together and ask yourself deeply and honestly, demanding an honest answer from yourself: “Which one do I really want?”. "Do I really really want the ego with its awful consequences?". "Do I want that stress, that pain, that debt those awful feelings?".

That is one way to do contrast.

One can also chose the lives of others gone wrong because of the ego, to perform such a contrast.

End (1437).

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...
