How we Get Rid of the Unpleasant - (3903)

Introduction

Here are some ways that our mind tries to get rid of the unpleasant thoughts, emotions and sensations that arise in us.


Just before I list them, if we know what our mind does we can switch to what our essence does. Sounds promising doesn't it?


List

The mind uses aversion. Aversion is not the best strategy in dealing with the unpleasant. But the mind still uses it.


The feelings of aversions are contraction, discouragement, self-pity and bargaining.


The remedy is to be totally clear and open to the arising and feeling of it. Consciously watching it, conscious attention.


If we don't open up fully to it, we feel fear, then it gets worse, and we start to ask how long will it last and we feel even more nervous. 



We can use bargaining in our mind. We think: "I'll work on it, observe it, understand it and be conscious of it and open to it if it goes away". This does not cure it.


The remedy to aversion once again is clear conscious openness. Recognition without judgment.


To be open means to not even see what hurts or bothers us as a block, or as something harmful. 


When we think we will practice to get rid of a block. We are still in a kind of aversion. We need the most powerful non-judgement capacity to be totally open.


Everything on the level of mind and emotion in us is impermanent, all these unpleasant emotions come and go.


We get aversion with the past and with things that have not happened yet. We paint these scenarios and images in our mind and then we get scared of what we paint.


End (3903).

    VM Samael said that the Viparita Karani Mudra can be used to pay Katancia. Is there any particular stage of the work where this is possible or can it be done at any level?
    How do we pay debts owed to the Holy Spirit? Besides transmuting and dying, can the Sacred Rites for Rejuvenation be used to accelerate this payment?

    I think it can be done at any level. Though at some levels it maybe much more important to work very intensely with this to pay certain debts so to be able to go further. For example at some level a particular may not appear but at others it does and it is so causal so karmic that we have to use the 'the wall'. If we feel stuck by karma we have to work really using whatever means. Don't let that stop you! The main thing with debts against the Holy Spirit is to erase the cause which was the ego of etc. etc. you probably know which egos it was. The practice of 'the wall' can help in transmuting, in dying and also in connecting to the Holy Spirit. So it is ideal, very good.

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...
