Key is to Not Identify with Unpleasant and Unpleasant Sensations

Key is to Not Identify with Unpleasant and Unpleasant Sensations - (2099)

Learn Somehow

We have to learn at some point for ourselves how to not identify with the pleasant and unpleasant sensations of our body.

We have to work it out for ourselves somehow and we have to understand why we would take on such a task.

Fear, Worry, Gluttony, Lust, Laziness, etc.

The answer to why we would take on such a task in the above sub-heading. These four egos and more rely heavily on our identification with sensations from the body. Fear identifies with the unpleasant and painful sensations and gluttony, laziness and lust identify with the pleasant sensations from the body.

We must work to cause our consciousness to sit above the plane of both pleasant and unpleasant sensations.

How do we Do it?

We can do this by observing very carefully the stories or background or interpretation that we add onto the sensations when they are felt. When we dissolve the extra concepts, stories meanings, perceptions, interpretations etc. from our psychology that we add onto the sensations then we can see the sensations as neutral and not bothersome, then we can take a great leap in elevating ourselves above the plane of pleasant and unpleasant.

Stories Added

When we felt a pain in a body we add onto it a story or the thought that: “it will never go away”, “it is the start of something serious”, “it really hurts unbearably so much so that I can’t stand it”, “no one cares”, “no one notices”, “it is cancer”, “I am old and weak now and I can’t do the work anymore”. Etc.

Lust adds the story: “I must do”, “I must have”, “more” and all sorts of other stuff that one helps oneself immensely when one is ware of them, then separates from them and dissolves them with the help of our Divine Mother.

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...
