Self-Realisation in the Next Life

Self-Realisation in the Next Life - (4973)

This is a question that we at first say to ourselves: "No, in this life, not in the next!". Though as we go along we start to think about it...

Thinking deeply about it, it is not about of having failed but rather having worked and needing more time. When it comes to time and our capacity it is a realistic concern.

We have to be real with time and our capacity and not suffer.

One thing though, all this thinking can't mean that we reduce the time, energy and attention we are currently putting into our work.

It can only mean that we update our expectations while still doing our best.

We know deep down that what will make the self-realisation of the Being to occur in the next life is that we do all that we possibly can in this life. What is important is the bridge, the connection between lives, so that the work done this life is carried over to the next to be taken up again.

Sometimes it makes one think that if after thousands of years of living a lives completely divorced of the Being and having accruing great quantities of karmic debt, how can all of that be undone in one life to get the self-realisation?

Well we are told that the self-realisation is one thing but undoing everything from all those lives is another which indeed does take more than a life time after the third mountain is complete.

Well the Being can do it, it is the miracle of the Being that it can realise itself via the three mountains in a lifetime. Many have realised themselves with the three mountains in a life time. Yet how many have done it over a few lifetimes? Has to be many also.

There are many people in Gnosis who have come to the teachings in old age and they are working now in preparation for the next life.

There are many who are young and they are being prepared for the next life or later.

What can not be guaranteed is giving up now and taking it up in the next life to success.

In any case this or the next life fighting to our fullest capacity for our self-realisation is what is needed of us.

To need to complete our work in the next life is certainly not a failure, it could well be the plan of the Monad for reasons the essence can know now or will only know in the next life when it unfolds.

Many times when we see a realistic goal in our sights we work towards it with much more 'gusto' and dedication than before when things were not quite clear and very uncertain.

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...
