The Waters in General and the Black Waters – (1869)

The Waters

I think the best way to understand this topic of the waters is to see them in the following way. I say this because it allows us to understand the many overlapping areas and the many exceptions that always occur in esotericism.

The waters are states of consciousness that modify our sexual energy and that modified sexual energy in turn affects our psychology and our whole system, but more critically - our sexuality. It is very much like the mind body relationship where they both feedback off of each other. For example, when the body is ill the mind suffers and begins to think negatively which then makes the body to feel worse. The colours of the waters are about the degree of conscious relation we have with sexuality and our sexual energy.

The black waters or black mercury are not really the raw sexual energy. The black waters are the state of one's sexuality in relation to spirituality. If one's sexuality is devoid of spirituality or love then the waters are black. Humanity is mostly in this area.

Black Mercury

The black mercury is something that is very broad and overlaps with a few other areas to do with sexuality.

The black waters are present when a person is just beginning to transmute and they are present when a person does not transmute. There is some overlap there. The white, yellow and red waters are a lot easier to understand because their domain is clear. The white, yellow and red belong to the Alchemical work - no problems there. 

An Alchemical couple can have their waters black even while transmuting. The state of their waters will only change when they begin to change their way of thinking and feeling towards the sexual energy and that will change their inner sexuality (attitudes, ways of thinking and feeling). When they begin to connect sexuality to spirituality and their inner or true Being, and they begin to yearn for their inner Being and send the transmuted energy to their inner Being and they begin to use sexuality as a way to contact, develop and come closer to their inner Being they will whiten their waters. The key to whiten the waters is to yearn for the inner Being while transmuting.

Master Samael said that there were couples in Mexico who had been working in the Alchemy for 15 years or more and they had not awakened the fire. He said that they had not whitened their waters and that is why they were so slow. If we within our psychology keep the same psychology in relation to normal sexuality or infra-sexuality and we don't yearn for the Being we can't whiten our waters even if we are practising Alchemy.


Why Black

Because black is the colour of putrefaction.

Also, Master Samael said that the colour black in an aura has to do with hatred. So the black waters are a very broad class of describing how negative or hateful in degrees of course, our relationship to our sexuality is. When we hate sex our waters are black and even when we jump into sexuality we are going against sex, we like hate or are negative (act with ill-will) towards sexuality because we expel the energy, we end up really rejecting it and we harm ourselves and our sexuality by losing ourselves in sex, without control. That is one reason why our waters assume the colour black.

There are degrees and degrees of black of course. A couple practising Alchemy would have their waters not so black. Maybe grey and as they practice that would whiten and whiten and change and change.

The waters do start off black. For a couple that works well they are not black for long. So, yes that is right too, the black mercury is the sexual energy that has been worked upon and the whitening is turning that black mercury into white. And at the same time it is also the crude state of one's sexuality. It is very broad. The white, yellow and red are not broad like this.

Single Person and their Waters

You know things are elastic in esotericism. I have heard it being said that a single person can do much to change the state of their waters. This of course depends a lot on the quality of their psychological death in general and in particular in relation to their sexuality. It also depends too on their sacrifice and level of work for humanity. The single person who transmutes, uses their sexual energy for their inner Being and dies a lot psychologically and sacrifices a lot can do some extensive refinement of their mercury. The mercury it has been said is also in our heart and in our sexuality and in our psychology. Implying it is also related to the level of Being of the person and their consciousness. So it is very extensive and broad and as one expands their consciousness and raises their level of Being their mercury also changes.

People may have labelled the black mercury the raw life force because the black water sexuality is tumultuous like the chaotic waters, rough etc. The transmutation with full psychological co-operation calms this water down considerably.

End (1869).

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).
