Symbol of the Tiger

Symbol of the Tiger - (1449)

Introduction

Animals are usually taken as symbols of certain qualities, or characteristics because they are the ones that best embody, use and live out those qualities.

For example, the fox and the snake are said to be symbols of astuteness, because they are both very cunning and astute.

Tiger

The tiger is basically an oriental symbol, which may be useful when it comes to interpreting dreams with tigers in it.

Basically the tiger is a symbol of energy, vitality and courage. The photo below certainly shows these qualities.

The tiger in Asia is considered a sacred animal and it wasn't until Alexander the Great that the tigers became known to the West. Some ambassadors from India gave the Roman Emperor Augustus some tigers and this was the first time that the western world had seen a tiger.

Tiger skins were worn by the royalty only of India and many of the Heroes of India and parts of Asia were depicted riding on the backs of tigers. Indicating the strength and vigour of the hero.

The Tiger, Master Samael says, is a powerful animal and elemental and helps one in taking their physical body into a state of Jinas. He recommended to get hold of a tiger skin and meditate on the top of it, begging the elemental connected to tit for its assistance in taking one's physical body into a state of Jinas.

This Photo Inspired this Post

This post is one where the image inspired the words. Usually it is the other way around the words come first and the images afterwards.

This Siberian tiger, to me anyway, shows in his look, a certain very potent energy, strength and power. There is also a clear calculated knowing there as well.

This tiger is no turkey, he knew what he had to do in the situation that he was photographed in. There was no catching him unaware.

Wherever you are I hope you are still alive! Your strength and vitality in life are admirable!

End (1449).

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...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
