The Worst Moment in the Work or Path or in Any Undertaking

The Worst Moment in the Work or Path or in Any Undertaking - (5299)

I think the worst moment in the work or the path or in any undertaking for that matter, is when we are about to throw in the towel.

That moment is really aweful, that moment when we think: "I just can't do it", "it is not for me, I've come as far as I can", "it was never for me anyway", "I'll just not make it then that's all"...is something both sad and daunting.

This moment as bad as it looks or feels, is so common...

I don't know about everyone, but many people who have been very successful in so many undertakings: the work, the path, climbing a difficult mountain, fighting in a war, building a business, starting humanitarian relief projects, passing through intense difficulties... have all thought and felt that before...

Once again, to feel or think that, well its not pleasant for the person who thinks or feels that but what counts is how we deal with it. What comes after the thought and feeling is what counts, because that is what unfolds one's destiny...

Anyway when this moment arises here in relation to the work here are some things to think about.

1.) If we throw in the towel we will have to face the same difficulty later on, in this life or the next, it will be the same. So why not gather up the strength and consciousness to do or overcome it now.

2.) Do you know that this may be exactly what you need to develop and perhaps even pay for future higher states of consciousness ahead of you.

3.) What about others in your life? Some relationships depend on the work. Then there are others - real people that depend on your work, and what of them?

4.) What about your Being? Have you consulted your Being? How long has your Being been waiting?

5.) What happens if you just wait a short while, are you sure the storm won't pass? Everything as law does pass!

6.) Have you asked for help? To talk to somebody in the work can make a world of difference.

7.) Are you sure you are not being a sooky la la (Aussie slang for a cry-baby), being weaker than what you really are?

8.) Do you know how close you are to arriving at something valuable?

9.) Do you know what has been planned for you to do in the future if only you are to stay working?

10.) Do you know what karma has been put aside until now?

11.) Do you know what really awaits you in life and in your future lives? Well the same as the past right? Are you good with living the future as the past was?

End (5299).

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...
