What is the Worst Pain?

What is the Worst Pain? - (583)

Introduction

There are physical pains that are severe and there are some that are not as severe. There are all sorts of severe physical pains that have to do with different parts of the body. It is said that child birth is very severe, a heart attack is also very severe, cluster headaches are severe, kidney stones and gallstones are also very severe.

As with the physical there are also psychological pains that are quite painful as well. For example, being betrayed is quite painful, being lied too and deceived or tricked is also quite painful, being rejected is also quite painful, being ridiculed and criticised in public is quite painful and some kinds of failure can also be quite painful.

Why are these Things so Painful

The reason perhaps why these things are so much painful compared to other things is all due to the value that we place on these things and also the certain values that are involved. I all these things that are so painful it is usually the case that very high and beautiful even intimate values of our essence and Being are involved and what happens in these situation is that these values are broken or wronged quite intensely.

What Dante Tells Us

If we study Dante’s Inferno we can learn a lot. We can see that Dante classifies all the human errors in levels of severity. The worst errors are those of deceit and then treason. In treason the values of love and rust are broken or gone against - the same with deceit. So it seems whenever trust is involved and it gets broken the error is the gravest and also the pain is the more severe.

Conclusion

The higher the values that are involved and the more they are broken or contravened the more painful is the experience. Also when high values are involved we also place great value from our own selves on them, we place for example our attention, our love, our energy, our respect, our money our many other things. Most pain comes from some sort of relationship with others or ourselves.

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
