Liberation Notes: Post 1 - (3532)

Liberation the Goal of Gnosis

Without a doubt the goal of Gnosis has always been LIBERATION!

Liberation?

Let's then ask ourselves: "Do we want liberation?"

We may answer with a number of feelings: from indifference, emptiness, fear, not feeling ready, to feeling ready, to feeling a fulfilled sigh of relief that screams out "Thank God!", to feeling an ardent yearning for it.

No matter what we feel, the spirit that beats in the compassionate heart of the Gnostic doctrine is LIBERATION!

The work on ourselves is all about liberation isn't it? I can only see that it is about liberation! The liberation of each one of us! Not Mr Jumbuck's liberation but damn it - your liberation!

This post is just to bring out a few notes on the topic of liberation.

Final Liberation

Looking up the standard dictionary definition, liberation is freedom from some kind of oppression or imprisonment.

The words: oppressor, liberator and liberated go hand in hand and together form the scenario of liberation. That is there can not be liberation without oppression, a liberator and the liberated.

There are many kinds of liberation, and because there are so many different kinds we can get majorly confused.

Master Samael lays down the reference point. He speaks about final liberation!

So final liberation is our reference point. The final liberation, is when a Monad with self-realisation returns freely back to the profound abstract source and fount of all that is, without having to return at any point to any level of creation.

There is liberation from the mind, liberation from a thought, liberation from inferior emotion, liberation from desire, liberation from the past etc. All these and thousands more lead from one liberation to another to grant final liberation.

Liberation is by degrees and by an ordered sequence, almost like a chain of realisations that breaks the chains of slavery. More on this later.

All in Us

In us there is an oppressor, a liberator and the liberated. We the fee essence are the liberated. The liberator and the oppressor are also parts of our ownselves. The liberator is the Intimate Christ and the oppressor - the many fragments of conditioned essence and karma.

In other words the oppressor is us (egos are our essence trapped, we made our karma), we are the liberator (Intimate Christ is in us) and we are also the liberated (free essence). Liberation is not outside but inside of ourselves!

Stan's Plan

So I'll stop this post here, otherwise it will get unattractively long and tedious, and in subsequent posts I'll bash out the other notes I have up my sleeve on liberation.

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...
