Want Attention? Go Inside

Want Attention? Go Inside - (3523)

Sorry don't mean to offend with such an abrupt title.

I think it is better to have the policy of treating ourselves harder than we treat others. If we ever catch ourselves wanting some kind of attention, or wanting to be listened to etc. we can say to ourselves: "ok time to go inside".

Really in my experience that is much better. Mostly we only have something subjective (of course not always) to say anyway and inside of ourselves there is a lot to see and enjoy being with. Plus, something on the aside, you avoid that feeling of being absent and outside of yourself, which is a recipe of just waiting to feel offended when we may be challenged or rebuked. When we are well inside of ourselves we don't get offended so easily. Have you experienced that before? If you have you are onto something good - keep it up right!

What else can we really do if we are not being listened to or are being ignored, but go inside or brood? Forget brooding, I reckon it is much better to chose to go inside and listen to the movements of life in our inner psychological country.

I think this is a pretty good skill to have. It can help out a lot in the sphere of personal relationships.

Sometimes if we listen very carefully to what another is saying we can sort of realise what they are really on about and then what we may have wanted to say needs to be changed.

The ego in us is polarised in relation to us. Undoing that polarisation is very interesting, actually liberating.

It may be that the desire of wanting to be listened to is actually something inside of us wanting that we pay more attention to ourselves. That is, something is wanting that we go inside and listen to what is going on inside of ourselves. It is like it is ourselves being the one we have been wanting to hear from. Like a part of ourselves is wanting the presence or attention of another part - i.e. more unity within our inner parts.

Anyway, if we have a gymnasium with people that goes along the lines of the title of this post, this is a good skill to cultivate and doing so will make the gymnasium gradually disappear, for the next one some time later to appear.

End (3523).

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

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...
