With the Mental Storms

With the Mental Storms - (4034)

Here are some short points that may help you if you ever find yourself in the middle of a mental storm.

In a mental storm the real priority is to get your mind quiet or be able to forget the issue!

I know that it sounds totally like the worst thing to do, but it is the best. I know we believe so firmly that we must solve the issue with the mind, but that is not the best thing. I repeat that is not the best thing to try and do.

So many times what we work out with the mind gets undone in seconds or contradicted so shockingly.

The is to get both mind and heart to coincide and that is really done with the help of the consciousness. Anyhow, read on a bit...

Persisting to be in our mind following all the different and opposing thoughts doesn't allow us to see anything that can really help us. We end up going around in circles, getting nowhere and becoming really tired and frustrated.

With the mind quiet or quieter we can SEE!

With the mind quieter and more at peace we can reflect properly with the mind quieter, we can contact the heart and get a different picture.

So the most important thing to do is to relieve yourself of mental pressure, give yourself time to quieten the mind. Let go of all thinking, thoughts, images, memories, associations everything. Notice them and let them go until the mind begins to relax. Then when relaxed reflect, see, consult etc.

If we see only one day at a time we can manage, but if we try to see into the future it looks way to overwhelming. So forget about seeing the future and look only to the day you are living right now. The events of the day we can manage.

End (4034).

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...
