Eyes and Ill-Will

Eyes and Ill-Will - (4332)

Blindness

We were taught that the karma for hatred is blindness.

I always wondered why. One day when I was observing myself, I discovered that when the thoughts and feelings of ill-will are present we really use our eyes intensely.

It seems very difficult to have ill-will without seeing. Just imagine being blind, it would be so hard to have ill-will. We would not to be able to see what the other person looks like, what facial expressions they are displaying, what they are doing, how they are doing things, how they are walking, what mistakes they are making etc.

Even being blind we can't really seriously hurt someone. If we tried we would probably hurt ourselves in the process.

When we have ill-will or some degree of hatred we can not see the truth of the person, nor can we see the bigger picture. With ill-will present we can not see one good point about the person. The truth is everyone has their good points even if the number is small there are still good points.

With ill-will we can not see that everyone of us are connected and united to each other. Ill-will does not see that by having ill-will towards another we actually are bringing ill-will to ourselves.

In short ill-will is the most blind characteristic we have as it ignores the truth about people and ourselves. It in fact can not see the truth and after a while does not want to either.

So being blind is the medicine for us to no longer express ill-will. Turn a blind-eye is really helpful when we are so out of balance because of ill-will.

Conclusion

In conclusion if we want to reduce ill-will we can easily do that by not looking. Just divert our eyes. The less we look the less information ill-will has to play and strengthen itself with.

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...
