Solitude What is It? (216)

Introduction

Solitude is something that we all pass through at some point in our life. It could be when we don’t have any one around us or it could be when we are surrounded by family and friends.

The first type of solitude is the easy one to deal with and is the one that is more easily fixed. The other type is the one that does not make much sense because it is something very internal and deeply seated within us.

We usually feel that inner loneliness at certain periods of our life, especially when we are going through some difficulty or when we are undergoing a change or going through some sort of a transition.

Internal Solitude

When we feel alone it is because we are separated from something, whether it be real physical people or whether it be something within us. So when we miss someone or something it is because there is some distance between that which we miss and ourselves.

When we are going through a difficulty we see others so happy and we are not and so we feel different and lower than them and so this feeling creates a distance and what we want is someone to come and help us and support us through the difficulty, that is great and that is such a help and support but what we really want to accompany us is our own wisdom, force and strength and comfort.

We feel basically alone when we are lacking in our relationship with ourselves or in Gnostic language when we are lacking in the relationship with our interior Being. We feel far and not quite good enough to be close and nourished by our interior Being.

When we are alone we feel some sort of rejection as well, we are not so close and intimate with the Being or with someone else. If we were completely filled and fused with our interior Being we would not feel any type of solitude at all.

Spiritual Related

Sometimes when we feel ourselves in creation, that is thrown into creation we feel abandoned by our Being left only to suffer death, sickness and old age.

Conclusion

To combat loneliness, this type of inner solitude we have to open up ourselves to be closer to our real Being. Make an effort of your heart to warm up to your Being and pray with infinite trust and express all that you have inside with honesty. Most important of all is to trust in your Being, trust that He/She/It will provide you with what you need.

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...
