Lust Only Has Eyes for Illusion

Lust Only Has Eyes for Illusion - (1980)

Selective Vision

Lust seems only to see illusions.

Imagine this scenario, a very elegant and beautiful woman walks down the sidewalk of a busy city avenue. Traffic is heavy and a man in his car waiting for the traffic to begin moving, watches her walking. Needless the say the man’s attention is fixed on the lady and his percentage of free essence is fascinated, thinking: “how good looking she is, how perfect, how remarkable etc.”.

Then suddenly, most unexpectedly the heel of the elegant gets caught in the gap between two paving blocks and then then she trips and falls face first onto the pavement, and with her fall to the pavement also fell the illusion of her in the eyes of the man in the car. The illusion of her being perfect, beyond ageing, beyond anything clumsy and unfortunate crumbled as soon as she hit the pavement. Consequently, so did his lust and any fantasies that he may have been elaborating.

Illusions

Illusions are what captivate and fascinate lust.

Lust thrives on illusions. Lust feeds on illusion and lives in the world of illusions. That is why after lust there is always pain and disappointment.

What is real and realistic is not at all liked by lust.

The Key Here then Is…

The key to take here is that by keeping things real, and by remembering the real, one can displace lust and control our level of identification or fascination with it.

This key can be used a tool to break with the identification or fascination that lust can hold over us.

End (1980).

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
