Dragons of the East and West - Typhon and Lucifer

Dragons of the East and West - Typhon and Lucifer - (5639)

In myth and legend, if we look at the dragons of the East and the West we see a clear difference.

The difference being, that the dragons of the west appear malevolent while those of the East appear benevolent - the opposite.

The dragons of the west were not understood by human beings and often feared. They have suffered much at the hands of human beings, and are bitter and resentful, bearing grudges against man and are very destructive, wreaking havoc on towns and villages. They tend to use their powers for more physical human purposes, yet they are wise and magical.

The dragons of the east are wise and kind, and like to be sought for help and advice. They often stand as guardians and custodians of the lakes, rivers, valleys and mountains. They stand as the essence of magic and are in many cases the door ways to mystical knowledge and dimensions.

What both dragons have in common is wisdom and magic. The use of these two attributes differ in the west and the east, according to myth.

East and West always represent a duality, sunrise and sunset, that is the two opposite poles of the one thing. In this respect, the west and east represent the two poles of the dragon. Which are the two poles of the psychological trainer within us: the Typhon Baphomet and Lucifer.

The dragons of the west represent the Typhon, misunderstood, feared and always used wrongly for human advantage, while the dragons of the East represent Lucifer - divine, benevolent, magical, wise and the conferrer of magical power and knowledge.

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).
