Second Life – Suffering - You Decide


Common Perception

There is a wrong perception in place amongst the common person in relation to having a second life. The common perception is to see having a secret almost second life is something interesting and adventurous.

Movies

So many of the heroes in the movies have a second and secret life, and that is one reason why we think having a second life is exciting, mysterious, meaningful and interesting. Though we easily overlook how difficult it is for the heroes to have and maintain this second life, we fail to see the sacrifices that they have to make and we fail to see how they suffer. Anyone can easily see how all of the heroes suffer, just take look and it is not hard to see the suffering of superman, spider man, batman you name it, caused by their second life. They can for example never have the lady they love and all the lying and trouble (hiding, masks, suits etc.) they go to, just to conceal their identity.

Even the bad guys in the movies and in life for that matter, also have a second life and this is more like us. Our second life, if we have one, is one that is less becoming of us, that is our second life contains activities that we know we shouldn’t really be doing. We know how the bad guys suffer and we suffer just like them.

Experience of

If one was to experience what it is to live a second life one would certainly change this perception, that seems to be common to so many people.

Second Life is to Suffer

In truth to live a second life is to suffer. It does not imply to be happy, it is really to condemn oneself, to feel uneasy, most likely nervous, anxious, constantly on guard and worried - because you may get caught out and plus there is that constant contradiction or battle raging on inside, where there is that compulsion inside you to protect that secret life and then there is that remorse of consciousness telling you that this second life is wrong and ought not to be. It is really stressful and awful. We really can’t be two people at once. Whenever there are two there is a potential conflict, and that is really what a person with a second life experiences the constant clash and conflict of the two lives and their opposing values within us, within our mind, our emotions and our heart.

Esoteric Inner Life – Different

There is a second type of life that does not cause us harm and it is the esoteric inner life and there is also apparently a second life but it encompasses all aspects of our whole life, and of course this second esoteric life is not wrong in anyway because it is about dignifying our life and enhancing it. A gnostic person for example has his or her inner esoteric life, which are really the events, experiences and works of his or her path. A Gnostic student also has a second life which are his or her activities belonging to their advanced Gnostic group which they do not share or talk about to others, for example his or her co-workers. This part of their life does not cause suffering as it is correct that it be done in silence and it does not harm anyone and it is for the benefit of oneself and others.

Conclusion

To be worry free and relaxed we have to have just one life. The clear, responsible and legitimate life has to prevail over the worse of the two lives. To have a secret life is to always suffer and crush something within you that you want to express, for example you may want to be open and honest but because of that second life you have to crush it.

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
