Bad News First, No Anger, No Grumbling, Know Where we are at & Action

Bad News First, No Anger, No Grumbling, Know Where we are at & Action - (2358)

Introduction

While I was typing away at my desk in the office I heard a co-worker say something like this in reference to another worker in the factory.

She said: “he is a really good guy, direct to the point, he wants the bad news first, he doesn’t grumble or get angry or start complaining, he takes the news and finds out where things are at and he starts getting things going”.

When I heard that, that guy’s example reminded me of this teaching.

A Teaching

There is a teaching from my marvellous missionary that goes something like this: “solve the issues of life from a practical point of view, using the motor centre” and another one from Master Samael saying: “not to allow mind and sentiment to intervene in the practical matters of life”.

Results

To apply this is really the best way to go about things. To get angry, grumble, complain, blame, protest is just totally useless.

What really counts and what solves the situation is to act intelligently.

For example, someone has an accident. Check out what needs to be done to fix things and do it. To start yelling and asking “how and why” just act. Later on when the situation has passed we can ask “how and why” in order to understand, learn and to help in the way of preventing future recurrences.

Try It

Doing this produces a very interesting flavour within us, plus it is so efficient. It also is a wonderful thing for the people involved, whether it be that someone takes this approach with us or we takes this approach with others.

End (2358).

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...
