Inner Path and Outer Path

Inner Path and Outer Path - (4463)

We all have our outer path. Our daily routine, our physical work, the various family events, daily practical duties around our house and at our work place etc.

What we need is our inner path. Gnosis gives us our inner path.

The two paths are very different.

One day our inner path will shape and determine the outer path and also frequently shape it as it goes along.

The odd thing out in our outer path is meditation, esoteric practices and prayer... Why do I say odd? Because if we list down all the things of outer life it is washing, cleaning, weeding, cooking, working, shopping and meditation for instance is eh odd one out isn't it? That's why we need two paths - an inner and an outer. True we need two lives or paths, but the main one has to be the inner path and the inner path to sustain the outer.

That is the best way to manage the two, to be successful in both...

The inner path is the work we are doing. If we are learning to concentrate and to silence our mind that is our inner path. If we are developing a virtue that is our inner path. If we are working to get close to our Inner Being that is our inner path. If we are working to dissolve a defect or "I" that is our inner path.

Very often during the day we need to make contact with our inner path. Our inner path is what feeds us, what gives us energy, meaning and motivation. It also gives us life...

Ask yourself often during the day: "Where is my inner path?" "What I am doing on it?". Then with your answers go ahead and work on your inner path, cultivate and develop your inner path.

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...
