Liberating Pain - (1172)

Introduction

This post and the posts to follow are notes taken from a very inspired retreat given by my marvellous missionary on the topic of liberating pain and awakening consciousness.

He outlined five points to do with liberating pain. My aim is that this and subsequent posts cover these five pints.

Please note, this is not about physical pain, but emotional, intellectual and psychological related pain.


Point 1 – Pain Comes from Inside not from Outside

Pain is caused from something inside of us. We have the cause of pain inside of us.

We have to be responsible for our own pain! Not make others responsible!

Karma is self-punishment. We are the ones that create our own pain. Because we have caused other pain we create the cause of our own pain within us!


Cycle of Pain Implies a Sender and a Receiver

The cycle of pain needs two parties, one is a receiver and the other is a sender.

We need to stop causing pain, we need to work on controlling our word and not acting against others.
To first step is stop pain from entering our lives is to refrain from causing others pain!

We should stop creating karma.


Point 2 – Pain is Essentially Emotional

Pain is something nearly all emotional. It effects the emotion more than anything else.


Point 3 – About Values and the Use of Values

Pain is about values. To liberate pain means that pain has been trapped within us and it needs to be freed.

The whole key of pain is to sever its will! However, this is not so easy and requires a practical psychology.

Let’s see what causes us pain and why?

The ego of self-love, which is the ego that loves itself is a major contributor of pain! Let’s see why does it get hurt? What are the reasons for that pain that it feels?

We have to find an answer to those questions. If we do will be closer to freeing up the pain that we have inside. Obviously, the pain of self-love is due to a value having been lost, degraded, eroded or destroyed within us. That value is usually the affection, love, respect, regard etc. that we receive from others.

Pain is related to our vested interests. Pain is a very selfish ego, it only thinks from its point of view.

End (1172).

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).
