Ophidiophobia Just Like Indiana Jones

Ophidiophobia Just Like Indiana Jones - (3450)

What the ?

Ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes.

Just Like Indiana Jones

Remember Indiana Jones in the first movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" - when he has to descend into that Egyptian crypt full of snakes, and he says "Snakes! Why does it have to be Snakes!".

Ophidiophobia is what Indiana Jones has and nearly everyone else out there (except for those strange snake collectors, keepers and lovers) have. But of course in varying degrees.

Well there is actually something very esoteric behind this phobia or fear of snakes.

Esoteric Origin

Snakes deeply within our subconscious remind us of a tremendous power. Some sort of power, the power to deal out death or some pother potency of nature that is beyond our handling of thought. In the light of esotericism we would call this potency Kundalini.

In us the Kundalini is the supreme power. The central occult and potential energy of our occult anatomy.

The Kundalin or Divine Mother has to do with death, birth, the power of sex and the terrifying power of entering into and connecting to the mysteries. Also we know deep within ourselves that the fall was processed against sex.

A snake seems so strange, mysterious, and often we can associate it with death. As so many snakes are fatally venomous. Yet interestingly every snake knows about transformation and renewal as they shed their skin periodically renewing themselves.

A lion is scary, but not as scary as a snake. At least a lion gives you a big hug before we say our final goodbye to the world. But a snake, cold and efficient all dedicated to the strike, having a body like a spear doesn't give you a hug or anything. Just wack!

Work

I actually had this fear. I say had because having begun to work on it, it is no way as strong as it use to be. I don't mind spiders or cockroaches or rats or mice or things like that but snakes would always grip something instinctive, visceral beyond my control.

The general key for fear is that after working on fear, as soon as we feel enthusiasm to meet what we fear, the battle over fear has been won.

When the real life situation appears fear has already been psychologically defeated and there is only one small step which is to defeat it in action.

The first key to work on phobias is to get information. to study what we fear. Studying introduces us to the reality and breaks the many wrong concepts and beliefs that we have.

So, as the first port of call study up about snakes and that may be sufficient to rid you of this fear. Of course esoterically, the closer we draw to our Divine Mother Kundalini Shakti as the fiery divine viper within us we will fear less.

So how about you are you scared of snakes?

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...
