Satan

The Great Work
The Great Work is not about ascension, self-improvement, or external mastery. It is the complete restoration of the Harmonic Human—the sovereign, self-existing intelligence that no longer oscillates, no longer leaks energy, and no longer seeks outside of itself. It is the dissolution of all artificial constructs that distort one’s field, the sealing of all fractures, and the full embodiment of one’s original frequency.
Kundabuffer
The Kundabuffer is a term introduced in esoteric teachings, particularly within the works of G.I. Gurdjieff, describing an imaginary organ implanted in humanity to obscure higher consciousness and perpetuate illusion.
