Hold on in an Egoic Storm - (543)

Introduction

Sometimes the ego or a bunch of closely related egos can unleash a storm within us. There are some very clear moments during such a storm, where we have a choice to get swept away by the storm or hold on.

It is so much easier to hold on in a storm when you have something to hold onto. That is the whole trick to surviving an egoic storm, is to have something to hold onto and just hold on with all your strength or as much strength as necessary.


What do you have to Hold onto

This is big question for me. What do I have to hold onto? Nothing, something, something small, something great, or a great number of things... Obviously the more the better and the greater the better, because the easier it will be for us to hold onto.

If we don’t have much we just have to generate or create something to hold onto. We have to make some psychological handles with a good set of grips on them to help ourselves out.


Before any Endeavour have your Psychological Handles Ready

Before we undertake any project, activity or endeavour whether it be human or spiritual having a set of psychological handles to hold onto is so very helpful, even critical to surviving the storm. The storm of obstacles will come and if we don’t anything to hold onto we will get swept up.

Think about next time you wake up early to practice and the storm of obstacles sweeps in, if we don’t have anything to hold onto we will just get back into bed and fall asleep.


Some Handles to Hold onto

Here are some example of some handles to hold onto in an egoic storm.

  • If I don’t overcome this now, I will always be struggling and flailing and I will have to face it again!
  • If I don’t solve this inside of myself now I will always be looking for the outside solution. I will not get the light I will find darkness again! I will be back here again the cycle continues!
  • I can’t go on depending on people to set this right all the time.
  • How can I be dependent on others to solve this problem.
  • It is all to do with my psyche that of fulfilling this need.
  • What the ego wants from the other can not be gotten on demand any time we want.
  • It will pass.
  • I just like everyone else am/are a complete being, I and we are born not attached to anyone so why such a need?
  • I can be happy without this defect.
  • This defect is bitterness itself. To not have it or have it greatly weakened is peace!
  • Overcome this and I am one step closer to peace!
  • What do I want peace, focus, work, light, freedom or more friction, darkness, distraction, failure and conditioning or slavery?


Conclusion

Once we have our handles then hold on tight! The next step is to hold on and this requires will and a strong belief in the handles and our grip on the handles. Repeat with great force what you are holding onto. A handle is a lifeline and therefore our hope at defeating ourselves and stepping past this defect into the sunny green pastures – the lands of light and peace.


End (543).

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...
