Lessons of the Trials of the Elements – (2317)

Passing the Trials is not all that there is!

Gnosis teaches us that after the very first trial of the path, called the Guardian of the Threshold, there are the trails of the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Each trial is an ordeal that the candidate must satisfactorily pass through. Even though passing the ordeal is the main concern of each trial, that is not all that there is to each trial.
There is the lesson of each trial, that is perhaps the more fundamental and useful part of each trial.

A Lesson in Each Test and Trial

I say this because in general, each trial and each test is an ordeal plus a teaching, a lesson in other words. One always learns from a test, whether one passes it or fails it, there is learning involved.
In fact if one learns with their consciousness the lessons of each trial before hand, one is more likely to pass those trails and tests. If one has not yet learnt the lesson of any upcoming trial or test then either the person will fail or the person learns the lesson on the spot and passes the test triumphantly.
About the trial of the elements, each trial imparts very fundamental and ultimately useful lessons to us about life and the path.
My marvellous missionary also says these trails of the elements are repeated in the major path as well, however at a much higher octave as one would expect. Everything is about octaves and octaves.

Conclusion

In conclusion now, these lessons are ones that one can learn before had and sometimes because they are not so difficult we may pass those trails not really learning the lessons specifically but because of our strong yearning to go ahead in pour work and the path we passed.
Learning the lesson of each trail of the elements will help us no end in facing the many varying circumstances of life and our path. In fact you find yourself calling upon these lesson often. Another added advantage of learning these lessons is that when they are repeated on a higher octave we will be over ready.
I will follow up with some posts talking about the lesson is in the trial of the elements.
End (2317).

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).
