Compensating for Psychological Imbalance

Compensating for Psychological Imbalance - (4179)

Psychological balance rules so much of our lives.

We are always engaged in some sort of psychological balance seeking activity.

When something no matter how small or big happens to us, our psychological balance is affected.

When we are unable to immediately return to balance within ourselves, we strongly tend to quickly go outside of ourselves to seek that psychological balance.

For example, we may receive criticism which surpasses our concept of what is constructive, and so we feel unfairly treated and inwardly we are out of balance. Unable to balance that inner imbalance, we return fire, until we see the criticising party is somewhat diminished and sorry for their words. As soon as this is happens we feel inwardly balanced again.

That is how we roll, all day and every day.

How to find balance within without having to go outside, is a really good question, and is one that in order to die in certain egos such as pride and anger we need to answer.

Suppressing our outside movements to find balance won't help. It will create more imbalance within, which will implode or explode one day soon.

To find that inner balance within ourselves we need to appeal to higher values within us. These are the actions of comprehending the other person, the action of looking sincerely within to find the truth being presented, the action of staying calm and trusting that the flow of life will bring compensation a little alter on when appropriate, the action of faith in our work to transform it and grow stronger because of it etc. etc.

In conclusion, the crux of this question about inner balance is that to balance ourselves psychologically we need to regain balance via superior psychological values not inferior ones. This way we achieve a stronger balance with a touch more 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...
