Sentimental About Cremation? – (1842)

Well Don’t Be and Why Not to Be

We may be sentimental when it comes to cremating a loved one. Of course, for many reasons, one being that we think that it will hurt the deceased one or that them being buried keeps them closer or nearer to us, and there are many other reasons that go along the same lines.

From the sentimental point of view these reasons are in accordance with the common sentimental ways of thinking and feeling that are often not practical, and are also often not fully true.

From the esoteric point of view these reasons are strange. Esoterically speaking, these reasons don’t stand to benefit the essence of the deceased person.



For the reasons being that fire is a liberating agent. Fire acts on the body of the deceased to release the energy and spiritual components remaining within the body to be absorbed by the essence of the deceased. Fire sends frees the essence of the deceased so that it can travel freely into the superior worlds if that is its appointed destiny.

Fire acting on the body of the deceased liberates the essence of the deceased and allows it without further delay to fulfil its destiny as a soul.

The body is like a magnet that in some way attracts the essence for a while after death. The body being buried also keeps the personality more alive. The personality of the deceased person perishes in time but it can live on for several years after the death of the body. Having the body buried is like the home for the personality it continually gravitates back to the body, and this allows people to feel that the deceased person is still around and then this generates thoughts and emotions that travel and affect the essence of the deceased in a way that does not help the essence of the deceased.

Conclusion

Don’t you think having the essence free to travel to the lighter, happier and illuminated regions of the cosmos is kinder? Isn’t not delaying the journey of that essence that we loved so much is kinder? The essence without a physical body is completely spiritual and there is no point in trying to tie it down to a world that it does not belong to.

End (1842).

  1. Yes it is. Fire does purify and the attachments that the ego cultivated with the body are broken faster

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
