Alchemy for the Beginner - (2262)

Introduction

A little while ago while talking to my fellow Gnostic friends a couple of suggestions were made and this post takes up one of those suggestions.

The Practice

The sincere Gnostic who really wants to practice the Alchemy well, may at first be a little worried whether he (mainly he) will do well or not. 

A beginner maybe scared of losing the sexual energy or he maybe a bit unsure of how to transmute.

If one knows how to transmute with the mantra HAM-SAH together with the breath one is able to transmute in the Alchemy, given that he is able to attain a certain degree of control. See below.

Here below is the main key that one can trust in that it will serve one well in the practice of Alchemy.

Key: Divert the Attention and Transmute

The key to solve both of these concerns is this: divert one’s attention to one’s inner Being or to the mantra of transmutation or to the prayer to one’s Being.

Alchemy is most successfully practiced with the mind quiet and concentrated.

If one has his or her attention on his or her sexual centre then one could (most likely) get into trouble. Why?

Because, by placing one’s attention on the sexual centre one causes the mind to intervene. When the mind intervenes the mind has already become active. Typically in the beginner, when the mind is active in the practice of Alchemy, a mixture of contradictory thoughts is experienced. There are the lustful thoughts and fearful thoughts. But the thing is, we don’t often see that both lust and fear drive the sexual the energy in the same direction – out! 

Why? Because fear is the thought that the sexual energy can be lost, it accepts the possibility and the sexual energy being very subtle and volatile obeys that thought. With fear we make happen what we fear!

The Shepard's Staff - a symbol of transmutation! Up to brain, through brain and down to heart.

Sexual Energy Follows the Mind

The sexual energy just like the body follows the mind. The sexual energy flows in the direction the mind sets out for it. So with all this mental activity the worry amplifies, the interpretations increase and the sexual energy begins to rise to a level that is becoming difficult to control. 

The best thing then, is to not place our attention on the sexual centre. Everyone does that because that is the way to amplify ‘pleasurable sensation’ but in the practice of Alchemy that is not the purpose, there is a much higher purpose to work towards.

The attention then should be placed off the sexual centre and onto the love for the Being or the Divine Mother, in prayer, on the mantras of transmutation such as: IAO, DIONISIO, INRI, O AO KAKOF NAKONSA etc.

You will see that with your attention successfully taken off the sexual centre and placed onto something else, in this case the sound and most logical advice is the yearning for the Being, the mantra, the Divine Mother, a prayer etc. you will have the control and peace that you need to transmute.

Practice Like it Was the First Time!

Another very practical key is to practice each time with the same vigilance, care, respect and internal veneration that one began practicing with from the very first time.

Conclusion

We just need to apply it once ideally the first time. Get our experience, and keep applying increasing our experience and using that experience and knowledge to get closer and closer to the goal. To Apply and keep applying is the most important thing!


End (2262).

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).
