Attitude Towards Pain

Attitude Towards Pain - (576)

Introduction

Changing our attitude towards pain won’t make pain go away, it certainly won’t affect the physical pain. A head ache or an aching leg will still be there, and even insult or offence will still be there. Though what will change is the way we deal with it and what we do with the pain and how we conduct ourselves with the pain when coming into contact with others.

What Changing our Attitude Does

What changing our attitude will do is make it easier for our consciousness to work on our behalf to accept the pain and to look behind it to discover what is wrong and then fix what is wrong. The right attitude, that is being open to the lesson and seeing pain as a teacher or prepares the ground for our consciousness to work when we next feel pain.

The right attitude allows us to deal with pain properly, it sets us up to be able to liberate it and to be able to not allow our consciousness get so bottled up or caught in it.

Conclusion

The right attitude towards pain is the first and necessary step to be able to liberate it! The more conscious our attitude the more conscious we set ourselves up to be.

The right attitude in life, in the work, in the path and in everything for that matter goes a very long way.

Remember when we next feel pain, ask we must ask ourselves “What is this pain trying to teach me?”, “What needs healing or fixing in me?” and we can then tell ourselves, “If I fix what is causing the pain, I can be free from it. To be free is better than to hold onto it and protect it, defend it and nurture it or even contemplate 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).
