Crying and the Work and Crying in the Work

Crying and the Work and Crying in the Work – (508)

First of All

First of all I can’t judge and say that people should not cry, or that what they are crying about is nonsense or silly or fake. I say this because after all when a person does sincerely cry, it is because the issue is very important to them and only the person can know really truly if they are really crying or just feigning.

My Intention

My intention with this post is to present some occasions where in the work on ourselves we may cry and of which a good result may come about, of course if it was sincere.

Edge of the Abyss

When we have the ego so strong and we are really having difficulty in dealing with it and we are losing control and we see that it is taking us to a very dangerous place perhaps physically, psychologically and spiritually and we are just teetering on the edge of the abyss and we know we can not do much about it, we may seeing all of this, pray so intensely that we cry.

Gratitude

Sometimes when we receive such a marvellous gift or help from somebody or someone, whether it be the Masters or our interior Divinity or friends or family and we feel that we may not deserve it, we may cry out of the conscious feeling of gratitude. Or perhaps when we have struggled and fought for so long for something and then we get it or we suddenly verify something that Master Samael teaches we may cry out of gratitude that it is true and that our efforts really came through with a result.

Contrast, Pain and Yearning

Sometimes when we via contrast see how bad, how asleep, how big our ego is and how far we are away from the Being and the Masters that contrast may produce a lot of pain and also a tremendous yearning and out of that yearning comes a sincere prayer to be better and often tears flow because it is from the heart and there is remorse there for our errors that have taken us to be what we are etc. so far from the Being and the Light.

Conclusion

So here above are some occasions where we may cry, not every day of course that would be really difficult, we end up with a very sore and troubled heart. I like what the quote from Psalm 56:8 “Tears are prayers too. They travel to God when we can’t speak.”.

The key is just make it sincere.

End (508).

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...
