1 of 7: Gnosis on the Nervous System - (2848)

Introduction

Master Samael mentions "Grand Sympathetic Nervous System" from time to time in his works.

The book in which he mentions it the most is his book titled: "Endocrinology and Criminology".

He wrote such things as:

One

"This machine has its rudder and lever from which it is governed and conducted. That rudder is the autonomic nervous system. The pilot that controls this machine is the Innermost (the Holy Spirit). Therefore, by means of the autonomic nervous system lever, the Innermost wrapped in the Astral body controls the whole organism and all the hormonal secretions."

Two

"The vital energy collected by the spleenic chakra passes to the solar plexus and then spreads throughout all the nervous channels of the autonomic system, filling the whole human organism with life."

Three

"Traumas and nervous impressions often disturb the functions of the central nervous system and the functions of the autonomic nervous system, as well as the glands of internal secretion."


The first statement especially stands out, as it tells us that the nervous system is of significance to studies.

This statement tells us that if we can become more aware of our nervous system we can help our inner Being better move and affect our physical body.

The second statement tells us that our nervous system is really the conductor of energy in our body. Therefore the quality of our nervous system directly affects the energies moving through our body. Without energy we can do nothing.


Modern Science

When we consult what modern Science has to say about the nervous system we find that there is a lot of information available.

A brief run down of what Science has discovered about the nervous system is needed for this study.

This is a very brief run down of the various divisions of the nervous system in the human body.

Modern science tells us that all invertebrates have a nervous system. In the nervous system that an invertebrate has there are two main parts. Our nervous system, science says has, also these two main parts.

These two main parts are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

From the peripheral nervous system stems two other well known nervous systems which are the Autonomic and Somatic nervous systems.

From the Autonomic nervous system stem the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems.


Grand Sympathetic = Autonomic 

I asked a good friend who knows quite a lot about this topic from the Gnostic point of view, and he said that when Master Samael mentions the "Grand Sympathetic Nervous System" or even the "Sympathetic Nervous System" he is really referring to the Autonomic Nervous System which includes both the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems known to Science.

In some of the latest editions of "Endocrinology and Criminology", references to the "Grand Sympathetic Nervous System" have been replaced by the "Autonomic Nervous System".



End (2848).

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).
