Goal of Marriage in Gnosis - (4736)

Gnosis is a revolution in the way of thinking!


The normal thought is to seek a happy marriage. Of course there is nothing wrong with that at all. However, there as with everything, exists a revolutionary thought about that. As Gnosis revolutionizes our thinking about nearly everything, what Gnosis says about that is worth taking a look at.


In Gnosis, a 'happy marriage' is not the goal of marriage. It is something that is of course very welcome and to be enjoyed but that is not the goal. The opposite - an 'unhappy marriage' is not the goal either. The real goal transcends both.


The transcendental goal is to self-realise and to help each other to dissolve the "I's" that each other has.


In more detail, the goal is to be able to seriously apply the Gnostic work to achieve the goal of psychological death and progress on the path with the practice of Alchemy.


In Gnosis, the experience of the above is sometimes bitter moments and sometimes happy moments. One thing though, that is constant in this experience, is that if we seriously work there is the true contentment of the soul. Which is something that people do not necessarily find in life with a 'happy marriage' or a 'bad marriage'.


Without this correct or right view we are in Gnosis looking for a happy marriage. Meanwhile the Inner Being, the Alchemy, and the call to the path exert a pressure of change on ourselves and so the fights, bitterness, difficulties, gymnasium and come our experience is that the 'happy marriage' we are looking becomes a far away speck on the horizon.


Under this pressure we look to find our 'happy marriage' we resort to the 'rules'  of balance and all sort of arrangements and we are still unhappy. Because we didn't produce the death that we needed both to produce. Mostly due to having the wrong view. 


Having the right or wrong view makes all the difference in many endevours both in life and in the work for the spirit.


With the right view we fulfill the inquietudes and restlessness of the soul and answer out Inner Being's call to the do Its path. Above all, we don't see happy or bitter we set ourselves outside of that duality and we see deeply soul fulfilling work, which is the foundation for many values of the soul such as gratitude, love etc.


If we want 'to be' in an exclusively 'happy marriage' and only see a 'happy marriage' we should leave Gnosis or withdraw significantly from our commitment to the work. Because that is not exclusively the goal of Gnosis or the Work.


The goal of the work or Gnosis is to bring to us the work, and the work is something that obeys the necessities of our Inner Being and that is not really about making a 'happy' or 'unhappy' marriage. 


Happy and unhappy are temporary fleeting states that we experience while doing the work on ourselves. What we are interested in are the profound states of joy and contentment of dying in ourselves, awakening and fulfilling the urgencies of the soul.


Even the view of 'love' that we commonly hold is incompatible with the work. A view of love that is more useful to us in the work is one that says: that love comes from both doing the work as well as can be done. 


To the below we must add "THE WORK".

    Hello, if one spouse was to awaken the fire of the kundalini and not the other, then they were unable to practice the Alchemy for say health reasons, would the fire stay awakened in the first person? Or does the fire need the constant food of the alchemical practice rather than single person transmutation? Thank you

      It would stay awakeneded most certainly. Even the progress of that person would continue without the Alchemy. Slower but it would continue becasue the work of death is what causes the fire to ascend once it is awakened.

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).
