The General Comfortable Feeling

The General Comfortable Feeling - (4111)

I think all human beings look to live in that general comfortable feeling...

I think you know what I mean by that general comfortable feeling. Normally via that feeling we enjoy our life, feeling settled, safe, secure, well etc.

There are many ways in which each human being seeks that comfortable feeling. Generally it is done through setting up settled, easy, comnfortable life circumatances. Thought also plays a major part in it, as every feeling is supported by forms of thought.

The type of thought which creates the general comfortable is often more towards fantasy than others things. A fantasy that protrays ourselves in a positive light, doing well in everything.

Usually when things in our life are all smooth, comfortable, predicatable and controllable, no problems or challenges, this general comfortable feeling appears naturally. Often we fall nicely asleep in that comfortable feeling...

The interesting thing is when that comfortable feeling disappears. We miss it and we wish to get it back. People can do many a number of things to get it back. Most of the things have at the bottom of them the intention of displacing the thoughts that are producing the stress, the suffering, the discomfort, the worry, the bewilderment, the "can't deal with it", the "just too hard", or simply the pain and burden of it all.

People drink, smoke, look for anything new, play video games, endlessly distract themselves, take drugs, party, go shopping, eat and eat all because those things are potent and have the power to displace the stressful thoughts and bring back that comfortable feeling. Allbeit temporarily.

After a while everything becomes routine and more and more and more potent is needed to have that effect of displacing the stress.

When that comfortable feeling is not present we have a tremendous stimulus and opportunity to awaken a bit more.

That feeling is felt but what really exists is our consciousness in this moment right now. That feeling depends on thought but the consciousness does not depend on thought. It is always there.

Always the solution for anyone working on him or herself is to seek the consciousness and take refuge in it. Then we can start to make ourselves more and more independent on easy life circumstances to feel comforable, safe, happy and well.

So we have no other choice but to focus on the moment, find our awarenss and know that it is all that we have. Focus on that. We can lose everything in an instant but never can we lose that, which is that which we really are, our consciousness.

There are no bases in reality but our own consciousness.

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...
