Stuck at Work for a Reason

Stuck at Work for a Reason - (928)

Introduction

As people who begin to see that what really matters is using our time to work on ourselves we naturally don’t want to be spending large amounts of our time on things that are not to do with the work. And so we logically don’t want to really be at work working hard in an office, shop, yard or wherever it may be that we are employed.

A Reason

Though we are there in our place of work for a particular reason, a reason other than to earn money so to pay for our food and shelter and other needs.

We have to find that reason, and that reason has something to do with our psychology and of course karma. But I would say more to do with acquiring some psychological value that we are not cultivating. Instead we are cultivating the opposite of it and that is what keeps us stuck there in that workplace.

When we decide to cultivate that value we begin to also pay off any karmic debts that we have accumulated from not cultivating that value in the first place.

An example of a reason could be that we are always just doing the minimum and are taking always more than giving and we don’t like to integrate ourselves into the project and co-operate fully with our attention, our dedication and our good will.

General Formula to Become Unstuck

We are stuck at work for some reason or reasons, we may think that we should not be working and should be able to give all to Gnosis but the reality is that we are stuck in the office or shop or yard etc., and we are stuck there for a special ultimately esoteric or spiritual reason.

So the formula is to first find out what that reason is. That reason can be found in the direction of what we are not giving or doing. It is in what we dislike or resist. Keeping that dislike or resistance is what is keeping us stuck.

What we have to develop is the exact opposite of that resistance.

The next step is to start to develop that value by exercising that value and dissolving the concepts and beliefs and resistance inherent to the opposite of that value.

Conclusion

Work hard to develop the value and then developing it we begin to leave that scenario and that frustration and experience something different and new. Sometimes we can leave the scenario all together or still be there but in a totally different state.

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...
