Taming Polar Bears (Polar Opposite Pairs)

Taming Polar Bears (Polar Opposite Pairs) - (2157)

Polar Opposite Pairs

Duality. How interesting it is. The law of 2. How the two parts of the two, the duality, are so intimately linked. Undoubtedly this intimate link comes from the fact that the unity, the one gave rise to the two. This intimate relation only happens with the law of two, that is with duality. IT does not occur with the three or four or seven. But only with the two.

Examples

Such examples of polar opposite pairs can only be found in creations where the Law of Two reigns supreme.

Some examples life and death, day and night, good an evil, virtue and defect, and what this post is all about pain and pleasure.

In fact many egos are one half of the polar opposite pair, where it is a certain value that has been polarised into duality. Just like a coin, the coin is the value and the coins two sides are the defect and virtue.

General Formula for Psychological Polar Oppositions

The law of two gives rise to relativity. There must be two or more for there to be relativity. Because relativity is about something in relations to something else. See straight the two things must be present. With the Law of One relativity disappears.

So with relativity we defeat the polar opposite pairs. How? The best way to understand it, is with an example and lets now take the pain and pleasure example.

Pain and Pleasure Overcome When…

When the yearning to be with our inner Being and the pain of not being close to our inner Being surpasses (is more than) the pleasure provided by the ego then we are ready to overcome both pain and pleasure to seriously die in the egos that have bi-polarised the value, which could be sexuality, eating, balance, majesty, love etc.

Before that point we are stuck, we must simply continue fighting until we arrive at this point.

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...
