Hang Out with the Dead or Dying

Hang Out with the Dead or Dying – (1457)

One Good Thing

One good thing that we can do for ourselves is to hang out with those who are dying or are dead.

Why?

This helps us a lot because through our interactions with them we can get to know how they think without the egos that we are trying to dissolve. We can also see how happy they are without the ego that we are trying to dissolve. They can also impart to us new points of view about how the ego we are trying to dissolve is inconvenient and unnecessary. Such a person does not strengthen the egos that we have but makes them weaker by giving us a concrete base upon which to deepen our comprehension and actually live out eh dissolution of the ego.

By hanging out with them we can also see in real time how they deal with issues in practical life that would in us provoke the ego, but in them they solve or deal with the situation without the ego.

If we Can’t Hang Out

If we can’t hang out with anyone that is dying or dead we have to read and listen to people who are dying or who are dead or who have at least overcome a defect or bad habit or bad tendency or those who live out some virtue or quality that is the opposite of the ego we are trying to dissolve.

Conclusion

Doing this a big help for us in our work of mystical death and it also helps us to know or appreciate in a real and balanced way how mystical death is lived out. We can have some very strange concepts at times that are too sensational and exaggerated in nature.

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

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...
