The Desire for Intimacy and Closeness – (1753)

Introduction

Sometimes this desire moves in us. Sometimes for a short time and sometimes for a long time. There may be circumstantial reasons for this and then there may not.

This desire may move more in others and less in others. There are of course reasons for this. I want to touch on the profound reasons for this desire in this post.

I hope that after reading this post you will be able to have an inkling of why this desire is more relevant to different individuals, and to understand that there is a reason for this desire and its ensuing pain, and this reason has to do with our intimate relationship with our Inner Being.

Aren't after all, all relationships relationships with ourselves? Don't worry too much if this does not make sense read on, it will make more sense.


Something to Look Into

Here is the crunch, ready... obviously, we are not very close to our inner Being (we forget our Being) in the moment when we desire to be intimate (does not have to be sexually) with another or close to another. Especially when we feel the pain of not being able to be intimate or close. What do you think about this statement? Is that true?

If that desire does not encompass some aspect of the work towards our inner Being in it, then for me the above statement is quite true or close to being true.

Sense of Loss that is Felt with this Desire

The sense of loss that we feel when we desire to be close or intimate is akin to the sense of loss of our inner Being. It is like we have lost closeness, communication, and the trust of our Being, which is the same as trust in our inner Being.

You know what my marvellous missionary said out of the blue the other day? He said that when a person wants to be loved and close to people or a person, it is due to karma and the loss of trust in the Being. What? Read on...


How Close are you with your Being?

A very pertinent question to ask is how close are you to your inner Being? Or how close do you feel to your inner Being? I think and feel that answering this question honestly will reveal an answer to this question of that desire for intimacy or closeness. 


To Conclude

The origin of any desire has a reason. There is a reason for the desires that we feel. Many of those reasons fall under the umbrella of compensation. Meaning we have a desire to compensate for a lack or an imbalance to do with something deep within us. Could that lack or imbalance be that we are too far away from our inner Being or have drifted a bit too far away when we can be closer? If so, like my marvellous missionary would say: “GET CLOSER!” “DO IT!” “I DON’T KNOW - GET CLOSER!”, “C’MON DO IT”. How? You know how to do it, start doing it now and you will see!

If we are closer and more intimate with the deeper part of ourselves - our inner Being, this desire will hurt less. That awful feeling of loss will be less.

End (1753).

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...
