Way to Make Decisions is: Convenient, Useful and Necessary

Way to Make Decisions is: Convenient, Useful and Necessary - (4618)

The decisions we make shape our lives. The good decisions reap rewards for years into the future and the bad decisions do the same - leaving difficulties to be dealt with into the future.

Our future rests on the decisions we make today.

That is what troubles us the most - making decisions. Anyone's life on the path is about continually making decisions. We won't be able to avoid it.

There is duality at every corner of a person's path and that implies making decisions. There is duality outside of ourselves and duality inside of ourselves that we have to contend with.

There is life and the work, there are higher and lower values, there is ourselves and others, there is even the choice of one noble sacrifice over another, one good over another and one evil over another...

If we have a criteria by which to decide by - it is much easier to know what the right decision is. Going through with the decision is a matter of will and is another thing all together. But first we have to know the right decision.

When we are defined (we really want) to look after and progress the work of enhancing our essence and our inner Being, then the criteria or reference points of convenient, useful and necessary for our work, path and Being are the keys.

If we ask ourselves is that choice going to be convenient for my work? Will it make it easier? Will it harm it? Will it benefit it? If we can answer those questions to ourselves then we know what the right decision is.

We need to train ourselves to get better at actually following thorugh with the right decision. This does take work and is a work in itself.

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...
