A Complicated Zig-Zag is the Work Reality

A Complicated Zig-Zag is the Work Reality - (5660)

It seems like the expectation people have to do with spiritual development is that it progresses in a smooth straight line.

The reality it seems is much more like a very zig-zagged up and down spiral that in time slopes upwards producing development.

The teachings don't really explain this...

It is only really our own example and the examples of others doing the work that we suspect, and later learn, that this is way things go.

It seems that what is important in the path is the overall picture. We all have so much to pay and transform making progress very complicated.

Because of the time and the complexity many processes must be run together and in parallel. Making things very non-linear, overlapping and difficult to track.

Concepts about the masters and the way spiritual progress go confuse, disappoint and delay us.

The examples of the struggles of the Masters serves to show us the nature of the path and what is important.

We should take our own example and the examples of the masters as the reality. Accept that and work with that. Leaving behind concepts and expectations about the way things should go...

We create so many concepts from the teachings. This is not helpful. We need to work and observe the way things go and then see how it corresponds to the principles and laws of the path and to the examples of others.

We need to comprehend our progress according to the principles and laws instead of creating concepts and expectations which only make things more difficult.

The important factor is the change that we promise and produce.

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...
