Introduction

Personal Suffering as a Conditioning Factor Notes

💘Let's look for them inside of ourselves. We honestly have them even if we think that we don't.

💘We don't have them until we have consciously looked, found and worked on them until they have been dissolved. Until then they lurk within us.

💘They are things that easily make us to suffer right now in a few minutes. They are things that in the past have made us suffer. Rejection, abandonment, humiliation, physical abuse, betrayal, deceit, exclusion etc.

💘Because of the suffering that we felt in the past, powerful memories were made. These memories tell us "don't repeat that". Avoid that!

💘Because these personal sufferings are memory, these memories occupy a place in our mind. These memories being painful are powerful and by the Law of Affinity operating in the mental world they produce thoughts and beliefs. Beliefs such as: "there must be something a miss with me", "why so much suffering", "how unfortunate I am", "how much I give and get nothing good back" etc.

💘Personal sufferings create fear or aversion.

💘The factors of personal sufferings lie in waiting within our subconscious. Not too deep within our subconscious. They can leave the subconscious in an instant and exert their influence.

💘These conditioning factors appear quickly and impose a way of seeing and interpreting. Because of these conditioning factors we can't see something in a different other way.

💘These conditioning factors often produce an exaggerated response in us.

💘These conditioning factors influence they way we think. Freeing ourselves means that we forget the past, we are able to see present things independent of the past, our current thinking is not influenced by aversion and inner fighting and our mental background is lighter free of that backdrop of suffering.

💘These conditioning factors repeat the statements: 'how I have suffered" and "I am going to suffer". These conditioning factors always work to make their mission statement happen.

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...
