When We Have Suffered We Become…

When We Have Suffered We Become… - 4757)

When any person has suffered a lot:

They become understanding... All the small mistakes are nothing, there is so much worse that can happen to a person than a small mistake...

They don't care for appearances nor possessions because they remember how no possession, no matter how valuable it was stopped them from suffering.

They remember how keeping appearances didn't heal them. It only hid the suffering from others, and later when they could no longer hold appearances, they remained the same and lived on, not losing much - except for so called friends, that because they disappeared they were not what we needed nor were we what they needed. A kind of shedding off old skin.

They are not annoyed by a lack of intelligence nor impressed by intelligence because for all their intelligence they could not stop suffering and it was not their intelligence that got them through it was the grit, the humanity and the love of the human spirit. People with a sharp intellect don’t always have this... They are often easily annoyed when not understood...

They are relaxed in the face of life as they know how to suffer and if life reserves new suffering they know how to take advantage of it and what it is for...

They look for the interior, for things that have heart, very little the exterior. No pretty face or body helps one to overcome suffering. In fact, maintiang a pretty face and good body is for the fickle a cause of suffering in itself.

They become so easy to deal with as they don't to make people's lives more difficult. Because of having suffered it is a real joy to act so as to prevent others from suffering.

They care for the suffering of others, not to increase it and to help others to liberate themselves from theirs.

They are no longer a perfectionist nor a control freak.

They give others freedom as they are robust and can deal with what life throws them...

Such a person is mature it is said in Gnostic circles. And is ready to take off towards the path into the arms of their Intimate Spirit.

End (4757).

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...
