Helpful Key In Dealing with Difficult People

Helpful Key In Dealing with Difficult People - (2409)

Forget the Effect from Now On

What worries and sometimes hurts us when dealing with others is the fact that we always focus on the effects.

If the reaction of the other is not favourable, if they make a face, if they are not happy, if they say something negative, if they speak negatively to others etc. etc. we suffer, we feel restless and we generally feel unsatisfied or discontent.

Focus on the Cause - on the Inner Value

The way out of this difficult inner state with its corresponding difficult feelings is to shift what we focus on.

The new focal point is the cause or the inner value. The new focus is to fulfil the relevant inner value. I’ll explain...

We Feel Bad Because we Don’t Satisfy an Inner Value

We feel bad when dealing with difficult people because what we do does not satisfy the standards that we have within us in relation to our inner values.

If we have a standard within ourselves that we should treat others with patience, respect, good will and fairness and because of our egos of annoyance, anger and pride we do not achieve this, we feel bad. If though we genuinely manage to fulfill our standards we feel very different. We are more or less ok when the other person for example does not like what we said or did.

Another way that we don't feel of course is when we really don't care anymore about satisfying that inner value. Which is fine if that inner value is an ego, but not so good if that inner value is one of the essence.

Conclusion

Know straight away what standards and values you have in relation to the difficult situation. Focus on doing the best by those values. Which means you focus on the cause. When you focus on the cause, you are not a victim of yourself, because with the cause in your hands you can change effects within yourself. That is your interior state. You can say to yourself: "I did my best in acting by that value, I could not have done more, I did not hurt anyone nor did I do something wrong.".

When we focus on the cause we are in self-remembering, because we are remembering these values, we are using them and these values come from the essence and the essence comes from the Being.

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...
