The Lunar Intellect

The Lunar Intellect - (5623)

Using the intellect for everything, one day makes us intellectual.

To be intellectual does not really make us intelligent or smart.

Becoming intellectual makes us, sooner or later, to become empty. The interesting thing is we don't think we are empty, but we feel empty.

There is a good reason behind the feeling of being empty.

The reason is that the intellect gathers, or better said, borrows concepts, information and reasons. It does not generate anything of its own. It simply borrows from others.

After a while of continuously borrowing information and reasons, we end up bankrupting the natural intelligence of our own consciousness. This happens because we stop using our natural intelligence, and our capacity to access our natural intelligence atrophies.

When we stop using our natural intelligence we end up being parrots, empty tin cans making all sorts of sounds that lack substance.

This is very much like the Moon. The intellectual is lunar is nature. With one side visible and the other invisible - unknown and unaware.

When we are intellectual, the borrowing of information turns against us and we don't know it. Using the information in our intellect, we critique and analyse others with the same information we have collected from others.

Being unaware of critiquing using borrowed knowledge us more unaware, and the next step is to critique while being the same.

The constant critiquing makes us to feel 'full' as it is constant. It is a simple compensation. However, by the law of entropy, the critiquing follows the tendency to become negative. Then we slowly start to fill ourselves up with negativity.

By the Law of cause and effect, that inner negativity spills out into our relationships and external life, and still not being aware it, we criticize-blame it on others.

Then one day the karma takes the form of inner bitterness, loneliness and sadness that is really difficult to shift. As the unawareness continues, we feel 'life owes me happiness' and of course life does not deliver, and so we become needy, while still criticising...

The remedy to all of this is to be quiet both outwardly and inwardly and begin to disassemble all that we have borrowed.

End (5623).

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...
