Water Overcomes Fire

Water Overcomes Fire - (1668)

Introduction

When it comes to physical facts, water as an element usually overcomes the fire.

It is only when the amount of fire present is much greater than the amount of water present, will the result be that fire overcomes water.

When water overcomes fire, the fire is lost and the result is a black paste that is mostly of no good to anyone.

For the meeting of fire and water to be useful and constructive there must always be a kind of barrier between the two.

With this barrier in place fire can operate on water, transforming it and liberating the energy hidden within it.

This artifice of a barrier is wised used in practical life and especially in what concerns us more, in Alchemy.

Fire and Water in Alchemy

When water overcomes fire, there is the loss of the sexual energy and the extinguishing of fire. The result is the black paste which is no good for anyone, and this black paste is lust.

The barrier between fire and water is perfectly put in place with the great modus operandi of Alchemy which is to never lose the ens seminis.

Not losing the ens seminis maintains the fire and allows the fire to operate on the water (mercury or raw sexual energy) to extract the spirit from it which is the metallic soul of the mercury (metallic means value, and soul refers to the spirit of the energy).

The operation of fire is always to liberate energy and consciousness. Which is actually its own nature. Fire is energy certainly and consciousness certainly. Fire always unites itself with itself. Fire acts on something to liberate itself that is trapped within its material form.

That is why the Christ is also fire, he redeems what is of himself. He redeems the essence from within trapped within the ego.

End (1668).

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...
