Apparent Unfariness of Serving

Apparent Unfariness of Serving - (4101)

The way we think about serving others is that it is somewhat degrading. Well, the thing that it is degrading to is our pride. With some separation from pride we can treat this topic.

All human work is a kind of service. All vocations are a service in one way or the other. Everyone's jobs serves a purpose and at the bottom of it, it is about providing some service to someone.

Serving others seems mostly unfair! That is really what we don't like about it!

But is it so unfair? Seeing that the Cosmic Christ is at the service of human beings, the masters and angels are there to serve human beings is it then really unfair? Is the Cosmic Christ a Being that co-operates with what is unfair? Or is it perhaps a part of life, a value that the movement of life is based upon, in order to maintain life and enrich life? There must be more to it than it being unfair.

The way of pride is to have others serve us while we forget about others, especially about the possibility of serving others. Pride is not so well prepared to serve others.

Serving others just seems so wrong, tedious, against us, boring and inhibiting. Plus we don't get anything out of it. Apparently.

This here is a very interesting point. We come to Gnosis to pay not to be exalted. One thing I have learnt in Gnosis is that the moments of exaltation are only that, they are so short lived, just moments, the real more consistent and constant experience is to be somewhat down, and having to pay and this makes sense as we are under justice and we have karma to pay.

It being unfair is also its major strength. Because through it we can pay our karma and we can develop the essence. Because the compensation or reward of service is mostly internal that is it pays karma or it develops some values of the essence.

We either serve our Being or the egos we have. One way or the other we are a servant, no matter who we are.

What more can we say if our own Being is a servant of It's Father - the absolute, serving Him in creation. Each Being has a function and role in creation - thus fulfilling a service.

End (4101).

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...
