Pain as Necessary for Growth

Pain as Necessary for Growth - (577)

Introduction

There is that saying that goes: “no pain no gain”. This saying normally refers to some sort of physical training of the body. In many respects within the realm of physical training of the body it is true. Also it seems to be quite true in nearly everything else as well. Even in the area of spiritual growth. Because we know that if we do not make an effort we don’t really get anywhere.

Pain to Come Out

In our pain is hidden much potential for growth. Really the work on ourselves is all about really healing that pain that we have in one way or another.

The pain has to come out in us for us to be able to see it and work to heal it. So with out that pain coming out we can not heal and therefore if we do not change or fix ourselves we remain as we are. That is our growth remains stagnant or stunted.

The More Pain – the More Growth

So really even though it sounds not very pleasant at all, the more pain that comes out in us the more we have to work on so to fix and then grow.

We though have to be very careful here. We can’t fall into that of inflicting pain on ourselves meaninglessly, but rather to work on the pain that comes out in us when it does because of the natural flow of life’s events, not because we are actively looking for it to come out. When we actively look for it to come out it is not so natural and only part of it comes out and we end making a mess where we really didn’t need to.Of course when we make a mess we involve others that don’t need to be involved and that creates karma for us that results in pain later on down the track.

Conclusion

I think the conclusion to this post is to take with us that pain will come out in us today or tomorrow and unfortunately we need it so to grow. Pain is to be taken advantage of to fix what is wrong in us and then step up a step in the level of being and in liberation.

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).
