Overcomming the Law of the Pendulum

Overcomming the Law of the Pendulum - (4310)

Our work can become pendular. It is good to check this because a pendular work is one that does not move forward very far.

There are at least three scenarios where the law of the pendulum functions and each scenario has a different remedy.

The changing opposites of life is what really make us to suffer. That is the pendulum. This is why we work to free ourselves from the pendulum because it is duality and duality is suffering.

External Passive

This is where we receive the opposites in the different circumstances. A person is happy and upset with us, we succeed and we fail, things work out well, things don't work out, pleasant event, unpleasant event and so on.

The remedy is to not be in any of these two opposites. That is to not get identified.

Nature

This happens when we over give or under give. We may exaggerate something and because we gave surpassing our capacity we can not hold this up and so we get tired and swing the pendulum to the other side and do very little or nothing.

The remedy is to give smaller consistent amounts that is well within our capacity.

Internal Active

This is where we can be pendular in our practices. We practice one day and not the next. This is because of our emotions we feel like practicing one day and the next day we don't feel like practicing. Why because we identify with those inner emotions.

The remedy is then to not identify with what the different people inside of us say and feel.

General Remedy

The way I see things is that the pendulum is a major source of our sufferings. In other words duality. To surpass duality we need to be based or sitting firmly in something beyond duality. Which is in a value of the consciousness that breathes life independent of duality.

If we suffer in relationships it is because we don't love with our consciousness. We love with something else. We love with some element that is identified with one side of duality. Identified to a degree that we believe that love only exists in one side of duality - the happy and good side. But really in truth the love of the consciousness loves beyond duality. When we are anchored in that love which is beyond duality we are at peace in our relationships.

End (4210).

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...
