Passing a Temptation you are Rewarded - (401)
Introduction
We think while being tempted in the difficult battle that we will lose out on something. Is that true
though?
Rewarded You Will
The truth from experience is that we are rewarded or compensated. Just wait for it and it will arrive
always - usually through the same element or similar that the temptation was related to.

Conclusion
Just remind yourself of this when in the difficult battle that you will not lose out, you will be
rewarded in a better, more sublime and beautiful way.

Lust is the Search for Pleasure without Consultation
to the Whole - (402)
Introduction
There are many definitions that we could give to lust, and as one’s level of understanding grows so
too does this definition. Anyhow at the moment I have this definition of lust to forward in this post.
Definition
Lust is the search for pleasure of the sexual centre without consultation of or to the whole. What this
really means is that lust is the psychological process or processes where a decision is made to
procure the circumstances where the sexual centre can act in such a way that it experiences
sensations that fuel a desire to experience more sensations until the sexual centre’s capacity to
continue experiencing sensations is overwhelmed.
Sexual Centre Acting by Itself
In lust the sexual centre is set up to act all by itself. In the case of lust the sexual centre is the centre
leading or driving the situation. It is after the stimulus to produce sensations. It is of course an
absurd situation because the sexual centre is devoid of vision, the sexual centre is an energy source.
The intellectual centre has vision not the sexual centre.
The situation with the sexual centre leading is creates a war or a division inside of ourselves because
our emotion and intellect may not agree with it and what it is propelling us towards and so we
become divided.
Battle is Lost or Won
The other centres in us lose the battle to the sexual centre when the consciousness is focussed only
on the pleasure then the centres polarise with the goal of the sexual centre and then the battle is lost.
The other centres should really focus on the reality of what will happen.
Sexual Centre must Work but in Accordance with the Whole
The sexual centre in us must work. It must work otherwise it atrophies and we waste such a
marvellous instrument. But the way it must work just as everything else must work is in harmony
with the rest of ourselves. It must work in such a way that it does not create a war inside of
ourselves.
Conclusion - Transmuting is the Key
To transmute is the key. That is the use of the sexual centre that does not create war inside of
ourselves. The sexual centre works under the vision and guidance of the intellect and under the
inspiration and motivation of the emotional centre. While transmuting one transforms the raw
sexual energy into something else that enhances the body, the mind, the soul and the spirit.

Why Gnostic Retreats can be Difficult - (403)
Opening Statement
No Gnostic retreat is awful, it is only our own experience of them or rather our own interior state
during the retreat that can be what we may call awful. This post offers an explanation as to why this
can happen, that is our interior during a Gnostic retreat be disagreeable.
One Reason
Gnostic retreats can be awful because we have something within ourselves that is against the work,
and because of that, we fear seeing all our Gnostic brothers and sisters working on themselves and
progressing and a part of our psychology dislikes that.
Remedy
It is easy to resolve this situation or interior state, just get stuck into your own work and when you
are deep into it, you will like your work, you will feel that you are working and you will change your
attitude and look forward to the retreat to sharing what you have learnt with others, and you will
listen intently to others for anything that they that may help you to improve our work.

Lust Separates the Centres - (404)
Introduction
Lust is the separation of the centres and the separation from the Being. It is to separate sex from the
rest of us.
Reason for Violence
The separation that lust produces and the disconnection from benefitting of the whole is what sows
the seed for violence in the human being. That is why of the violence in sex and outside of sex against
others. The very lustful person is also a very angry person.
Solution – Transmutation - Unity
Transmutation is an agent of unity because it is a moral and unifying spiritual pleasure and it is
healthy - helping the body and all the body’s centres by providing them with energy. Lust is the
pleasure of one centre that leads it to deplete itself. Lust really does not make much sense.
Conclusion
Lust in the sexual centre acts as a runaway train, crashing and creating disaster and inevitably
colliding with everything in our life, eventually taking our life into turmoil. It collides with aspects of
our life but transmutation does not do that at all.

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 could be.
These two terms are equivalent, both contain “Kunda” at the beginning and both after the initial
“Kunda” contain words which mean buffer. Amortiguador is the Spanish word for buffer. The English
term Kundabuffer is more complete, it appears as though the Spanish term has been modified
slightly to sound better.
According to Gurdjieff the organ which he called Kundabuffer was originally named that and he does
not give any origin to the word “Kunda”. He does however as does Master Samael explain the origin
of the word “Kundalini”.
If you do a bit of searching on the internet you will see that “Kunda” means a cavity or deep pit or
“Kundal” being that which is coiled. All of these meanings point to the coccyx.
So What is it?
The kundabuffer in us, the human being was a physical organ in very ancient and remote times but
now is only a bony appendage to our coccyx. However the effects or consequences of having that
organ are still with us, residing in our psyche.
We don’t have it physically but psychically yes. Furthermore, it can be developed unfortunately with
certain practices.
What Does it Do?
In the human being it acts upon our psyche hypnotising us, making us to believe arguments from the
ego that are not true or at best half-true.
It also participates in the creation of psychological “I’s” and it is the element in us that produces
fantasy and allows us to continue with fantasy and believe it in our very unrealistic and untrue
fantasies. In order towards it hypnotises us lulling us to sleep, to the sleep of the consciousness
To be hypnotised is essentially to believe in what is not true!
How do we Get Rid of It?
We get rid of the consequences of the Kundabuffer in our psyche by awakening and developing the
Kundalini, which is the as a word means the end of the Kundabuffer organ and dissolving the
psychological “I”.
Conclusion
Many avatars and great master have come to help humanity to liberate itself from the consequences
of the Kundabuffer organ. Master Samael has come again and with the three factors (dissolution of
the psychological ‘I’, transmutation of the sexual energy and the sacrifice for humanity) we can
definitely remove ourselves from under the grasp and shadow of the hypnotising consequence of the
Kundabuffer organ.

Transmute Sexual Energy with Will - (406)
Introduction
The sexual energy can at one stage quite advantageously transmuted with will and a certain degree
of internal determination.
Key
The key is to not give over the control of your sexual energy to your false enthusiasms or
fascinations or identifications.
Will and Determination
Transmute with much will and determination, where one wills the energy to be subtracted from the
sexual organs and rise as energy up the spinal column and into the brain - with one being
determined to see one’s own energy rising up one’s spine into the brain, thus having control over
one’s own energy and possessing it for one’s Being.
To the Being or Inner Divinity
Giving the transmuted energy to one’s own Being is really the best destination for our sexual energy.
Any other destination is certainly of no help to us or our internal Divinity and in most other cases a
real waste.
Conclusion
Transmuting with will and determination allows us to really transmute in any way that we can, i.e.
single or married and avoids a person from fruitlessly giving their energy or even transmuted
energy over to fantasy, false passions or mental images, only for those mental images, fantasies and
passions to only get stronger and for us to be more under their grip.

Intimate Christ and the Cosmic Christ - (407)
Introduction
Are they related? Is the Intimate Christ of each individual related to the Common Cosmic Christ of all
of us?
The Cosmic is the Sum of all the Intimates
I have heard from my teacher that the Cosmic Christ, the Great Second Logos of the Universe or the
Absolute is the sum of all the Intimate Christs in creation. Our Intimate Christ is in Him and has come
from Him and will give Him all the knowledge, experience and wisdom that He (the Intimate Christ)
acquires through our work and future work.
So all the wisdom of the all the Masters who have ever live is in Him. All the Love of all the masters
who live and have lived on Earth and the other planets is in Him.

Conclusion
The Cosmic Christ is the sum of all the individual intimate Christs and the wisdom and knowledge of
the Cosmic Christ is the sum of the all the wisdom, knowledge, consciousness and experience of all
the Intimate Christs.
That is why no one person or being can know more than the Cosmic Christ and that is why He is the
Instructor of the World or Worlds. That is also why He can redeem us because He has the knowledge
of all the defects that the Intimate Christs of the people who live and have lived have dissolved.

We Are Alone Anyway - (408)
Introduction - Rejection
Rejection has to happen, after being rejected we are alone and we are alone in so many ways anyway
before that.
Alone in Many ways
Before the Law, before the Being, before our health, before our body, before our work, before our
own psychology and emotions, before our own responsibilities towards others, family, friends and
co-workers etc. we are alone.
Before God, before the Masters, before the truth, before death we are alone. We are born alone and
die alone. Before the Absolute we are alone but once inside the Absolute that is a different story. We
are one with all and everything and everyone.
Expect to be Rejected
How can we not be rejected if the other person has the elements inside of him or her to do it. How
can someone not get angry with us if they have anger, how can someone not disrespect us if they
have pride. We can only expect such things as peace, acceptance, love etc. all the time if the people
that we want them from are awakened or have the Being or are without ego or have a tremendous
love for love for us.

Conclusion
If we are rejected accept it as it should happen or had to happen and just wait for it to pass. Getting
rejected breaks the illusion that we create that we are not alone, but in reality we are alone anyway
in so many things, so rejection just brings us back to ourselves and back to that truth. If we are
comfortable with ourselves, our essence and our Being, we will be ok to be alone with ourselves.
