Free Will in a Gnostic School Clarification Offered

Free Will in a Gnostic School Clarification Offered – (2607)

Taught to Free Will

In Gnosis students are taught to free their will from the many egos and karma that they may have. So that in the end a Gnostic student has all of his or her will in his/her hands, and the Gnostic student in such a position can do anything with that will...

(The best thing to do with that freed will is to drive it into one’s Being, using it to integrate ever more into one’s own Being.)

Just to go over this point, it is said in Gnosis that a human being does not normally possess their will. If I insult you or your mother or children and you even though you don’t want to feel upset, you will insult me back or storm off or perhaps hit me. Even though we don’t want to feel scared or suffer we do. We do not have the will enough to not suffer or not feel scared... This is true isn't!

Master Samael says that the amount of free will we have really is the same as the space that exists in a violin case between the case and the bridge which is only 1cm or half an inch or so.

Classes Not According to Your Will

However, the question comes when a student may say one day, there is no free will in Gnosis, you have to attend class twice a week, attend retreats and you can’t really come and go as you please according to your will. Because if you do you that you will be asked to think if you really want to study Gnosis seriously.

So, the student says what free will is there then. Well from the human point of view they are right, but seen esoterically they are not quite right. Because to acquire one’s own free will, freed from one’s own karma and conditioning, requires work and effort and a basic ingredient of work and effort is constancy. So constant attendance gives us the chance to acquire the will to be able to further free our will.

I say that we do not have any will to act freely with until we really free our will from the ego and our karma, and this requires much dissolution of the ego and awakening of the consciousness. We think to be able to get up and go to Mongolia now is free will, but well what is driving you to do that and are you free to determine how everything will be when you get there? Free will is conscious it is not to be driven here and there for no conscious reason.

Conclusion

In Gnosis we are invited to think about everything esoterically, and in fact the workings of a Gnostic school can only really be understood from the esoteric point of view. When we see a Gnostic school from only the human point of view we experience clashes within our mind and emotion that we can not really understand and iron out until we see a Gnostic school from a psychological and esoteric work point of view.

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...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
