Why Run when the Gymnasium will be the Same

Why Run when the Gymnasium will be the Same - (696)

Introduction

Many times when we find it really difficult to deal with an ego or things become too difficult we think of running, that is escaping to another city, country or town, anywhere but where we are.

Usually with people when they express an idea or an intention of moving, it is a sure sign that they are not coping too well.

We think of moving to another city, another country in the hope that it will relieve the difficulty that we are feeling right now.

There are even people that are constantly on the move, spending only one or two years in a city and in a country and then off again. Really in the end such people are only running from themselves.

Chronic Drapetomania

Many people can become addicted to running away and even there is a condition called drapetomania which is defined as an overwhelming urge to run away. This term was coined in the slavery day of early America, where some slaves (rightfully so I think) developed a continual urge to run away, and in fact they did time and time again.

In the Psychological Sense

Anyway we may not be drapetomaniacs in the physical sense but we can be drapetomaniacs in the psychological sense where we run away from facing our thoughts, or moreover the ego that generates those thoughts.

Trust in our Inner Divinity

Trusting in our inner Divinity, in particular trusting that our inner Divinity can give us the force and wisdom to understand and overcome these thoughts and emotions, helps one tremendously.

Conclusion - Solution

The truth is that wherever we go will carry the problems, difficulties and suffering within and it is only a matter of time before it comes out again as it did before and we will want to move again.

We can move and we will feel good, free, no problems, no difficulties, the exciting sense of adventure, discovery of the new, but eventually what we have inside will come up and it will call or create the same type of psychological gymnasium or drama that we escaped from before.

The best really conclusion we can come to, is to face it and get rid of it now where we are and then it is gone forever. Psychological work on ourselves solves everything.

End (696).

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...
