Suffering Notes - (4591)

There is unconscious suffering, conscious suffering and prepared suffering.


Unconscious suffering does not have value.


Conscious suffering has great value, as through it, we can work towards perfecting ourselves. 


To suffer consciously we need to know what makes us suffer. Do we know what makes us to suffer?


The way of conscious suffering is to know how to make wise use of suffering.


Conscious suffering is like fire that tempers steel. It is the fire of conscious suffering that tempers and crystallizes the virtues in us. Without that fire of conscious suffering the values would not be able to be crystalize in us. 


We suffer consciously to become conscious. When we are conscious in the areas where previously consciously suffered suffering subsists.


The work is voluntarily subjecting ourselves to temporary suffering to liberate ourselves from vast expanses of suffering.


Pleasure that is not earnt turns into suffering. Such a truth.


It is very karmic for us to pass suffering onto others. We need to absorb and transform suffering, not pass it onto others. 


There is the need to know how to suffer. To pass it onto others is to not know how to suffer. To make us of suffering is to know how to suffer.


Conscious suffering pays for everything in time. The hardship and suffering is always paid for later in time - first by acquiring the virtue, secondly being able to enjoy the fruits of the virtue and thirdly compensation by the Divine Law.


Suffering breaks through the crust of self-deception that blocks the consciousness.


Unconscious suffering due to not having food to eat because we have run out of money does not have much value to the work of the essence. It is better to have food and not eat it. This gives value to crystalizing virtues in the essence, as it was done consciously.


Prepared suffering is when we know what makes us to suffer and we make use of it. This is the known gymnasium.

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
