Infraconscious, Violence and Possible Motive – (1564)

Infraconscious

Human beings have three levels to their consciousness. There is the conscious level, the subconscious and then there is the infraconscious. The ordinary human being carries around with them facets of themselves unknown to themselves. Those unknown facets are dormant in the subconscious and in the infraconscious.

The worst facets of ourselves lay dormant in our subconscious and the infraconscious. At some point we have to face them. This is because as our consciousness expands it has nowhere else to expand into but our subconscious and infraconscious, just as when we turn on the light in our room the light from the light bulb expands into the darkness of the room, transforming darkness into light.

What is quite shocking and painful is to see and then have to accept what we have in our subconscious and infraconscious. But this is mandatory if we want to awaken more and die more within ourselves. We must see, we must accept, we must comprehend and we must beg for elimination.

The violence that we have within is certainly a very subconscious and infraconscious element in human beings.


Violence

Perhaps one of the worst things is violence and perhaps humanity is characterised by its cruelty and violence. The many wars, the many atrocities, the many cruelties etc. that have been and are still going on today I think and feel constitute the worst side of humanity. The side that alarms all of us the most.

So we can help humanity the most by eliminating our own inner violence.


One Base of Violence is the Ignorance of how to Love

A reason for violence I have mentioned before is compensation or a lack of balance but there are other reasons as well and here is one.

Because we lack love and even because we don’t know how to love, we hurt and hurt another until we feel some kind of remorse or some kind of strange feeling that we have reached their vulnerability by causing them pain and we feel sorry for that and then a kind of a feeling of being sorry and love or tenderness emerges.

Sometimes true feelings for another person begin this way. When we see that we have hurt them we create the conviction to never do that again and we don’t. A real conviction of doing the right thing by them can emerge and we can hold to that for the rest of our life, so something real can emerge. The only lamentable thing is that violence in the mind, word and in the worst case, physical violence had to be used to get there. This is of course not at all the right way!

I would say that when this behaviour becomes a habit and then transforms into an ego, the egos of sadism and masochism are created.

We should love before doing this or even better without doing this. But we don’t know how to. There are ways and we must start with respect, with self-remembering, seeing that they are an essence of a Divine Monad and we can love them by dying in ourselves, bit by bit slowly. Even asking ourselves deeply and intimately, do we really want to see another suffer, or do we really want to cause another harm? Sometimes being honest we do and we don't care, if that is the case we have to go deeper and ask a deeper side of ourselves. Use our imagination, see them crying, suffering, is that what we really want? Even if they suffer because of us we are going to be suffering the same later on?

End (1564).

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...
