Friend is Actually an Esoteric Degree

Friend is Actually an Esoteric Degree - (4346)

Master Samael said that a friend is considered an esoteric degree.

In other words to be a friend to someone is to have won an esoteric degree.

Of course it can't be a friend that we see now and then or only sometimes and they have little involvement in our life.

There are actually few friends of that type in the world but there really do exist friends in life that even though none of the friends are studying esotericism they are friends that have earnt and deserved this inner or esoteric degree.

It is said that a wife or a husband could be a friend first before being married and then keeps being a friend after being married.

A friend is someone who is recognised as such internally, that is amongst the Beings, Monads and Divinities of the inner worlds - such as I suspose the Divine Law, the white Lodge as some of the help that they send to us comes through our friends.

Such a friend has many qualities that are worth expanding upon I feel. Master Samael called such friends - friends of faith.

We need such friends, all masters have them and these friends make our path possible. I don't think anyone can deny that there are times when if it was not for such a friend we would not have made it through...

A friend is one that is honest with you and tells you if you have something wrong and tells you how to correct it. A friend who is prepared to risk the friendship to tell you something that you need to hear for your benefit.

A friend is one who often we have passed through many different situations, with not all of them being pleasant situations. A friend is one who knows us very well. even better than our selves at times.

A friend is one that is there for you always. A friend is one who offers support with lots of good will.

A friend is one who keeps the same line with you.

Sometimes friends behave much better amongst them and get a long a lot better than husband and wife. Maybe because of the different nature of the husband and wife relationship.

End (4346).

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

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...
