Sensual Love Posts: 3.1) Buddha and the Serpent Legend - (3885)

There is a certain legend or tale to do with the Buddha concerning sexuality.

This legend is about Buddha when he was in the process of realising himself. so he hadn't reached his enlightened state as yet but was in the process of reaching it.

The legend goes like this:

Buddha once whiule he was travelling and staying at a certain village met a maiden. He fell in love with that maiden. The lgend says that he loved the divine in her and his love for her took the form of admiration and apreciation of the Divinity in her. One day while he was gazing at the maiden he became entranced by her physical beauty and as she had work to do she abandoned him. The legend says that the divine in her left her. Then what remained in the maiden became a serpent and without delay the serpent coiled itself tightly three times around the buddha. The legend says that the serpent resperesented the maiden's human nature as a woman. So as Buddha had spent most of his life studying and practicing so to expand his learning, strengthen his character and develop his virtues he used his greatness of human strength to try and free himself. However as much as he tried he could not free himself. Then he realised that the only way he would be able to free himself was to become smaller and smaller. He then made himself smaller and smaller until he was almost nothing. Having become so small he was able to escape.

So that was the legend, in the next posts (3890 and 3891) I'll bring to light its keys for relevant to us.

End (3885).

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).
