The Battle of the Knight and the Modern Man

The Battle of the Knight and the Modern Man - (4189)

Two men, yet the same two men. Locked in a bitter sad combat. One a templar knight, shiny chain mail and armour wearing the white and red templar ensignia and the other dressed in neat modern fashion with dark colours. One a spiritual warrior, a man of the path and the other the common man of life.

The common man of life subduing with force the knight, how sad the knight looked, how sad the situation was, how sad the knight was that his direction, his will was not respected by the modern man and how sad it was that the superior values were being defeated.

Each time that the modern man won he pressed a dagger into the chest of the knight producing blood. Indeed when the superior values withn a person are sacrificed for inferior values the essence hurts in the heart (dagger wound) and suffers (flowing of blood).

Just why didn't the knight equipped with armour and trained for combat stand up and push the modern man aside? The knight is the path, the essence, the values of the path and the modern man is the egos, the personality, horizontal life.

The fight is always within us even when we are being influenced heavily by outside factors - that is by other people.

When we win the fight inside, that is when the knight inside of us stands up and defeats the common man, the external man, we ward off outside influences.

The knight works for the Christ within us, and so to the Intimate Christ we can ask for help to set this situation right.

In a relationship for the path, the best situation which is the situation that will give the best results for the path is when the knight in both people is standing on top of the common external man.

End (4189).

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).
