Abandoned by the Being

Abandoned by the Being - (2007)

Introduction

There are stages in the path that we have heard about, where the initiate or master feels that he or she has been abandoned by his or her Being.

I wanted to know more about that so I asked my marvellous missionary (m³).

A Temporary State

He said that above all, it is a temporary state. It is something that passes. It is something that certainly will not be that way forever. In most cases, it is something that is short lived, however in some other cases it can last for a long time, but it will certainly pass.

Karmic and Part of the Path

He said that it is karmic in origin and it is also part of the path. For some reason the Being does not respond as desired and leaves the initiate or master to his or her own devices. It may even seem that the Being withdraws its force and light, leaving the initiate or master weak and in darkness.

This could be so for several reasons, one could be to force the initiate to create a strong base and yearning for the path within his/her own essence or soul. Another could be to pay karma and another could be that the initiate still can not be integrated fully into the Being because there is ego in the initiate and the initiate is above the common human level of things and does not either feel to be part of the activities, feelings, worries, concerns and company of other human beings in life. So the initiate does not feel belonging or acceptance in either field: within the Being or in life, hence the feelings of abandonment and loneliness.

The Feeling

The main feeling that arises when in such a stage or state is that after many petitions and crying out for help from the Being, and not receiving any answer the person begins to feel abandoned and not loved or cared for by the Being. Then like a depression or very sad and lonely feeling begins to enter the person. Of course to feel abandoned by the Being, by your very own core is something not so easy to deal with.

End (2007).

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...
