Conscious Relationship to Pain & Suffering

Conscious Relationship to Pain & Suffering - (4901)

Pain and suffering just like sexuality, love, balance, energy, consciousness, health etc. are real unavoidable issues that we must face and accept. The better we know how to relate to these areas of life and ourselves the better for us and others.

This post presents some guidelines on relating well with pain and suffering:

1.) Pain is unavoidable in this world with the physical body we have.

2.) Suffering which is psychological is optional. We can chose to modify it.

3.) A bit of suffering at first which saves much more suffering later is worth gold. Always choose gold.

4.) Everything costs and sometimes suffering and pain is the price. Be prepared to experience pain and suffering to get what you desire. No gain, no pain as they say. Fully accept the suffering and pain required.

5.) There is intentional suffering and mechanical suffering. Mechanical suffering gets you nowhere but intentional suffering used well (intelligently/consciously/) elevates you.

6.) Avoiding suffering creates more later. It is a mistake.

7.) The truth seems as though it will make us to suffer but after a short time it frees us.

8.) When pleasure passes over a the line of balance pain enters. It is painful to correct the unbalances made with pleasure.

9.) Suffering can be transformed into learning, growth and love for others, which helps others to avoid suffering.

10.) Don't allow pain and suffering to become part of our identity. We are not pain nor suffering. We are an essence whose unique and on real identity is found in the Divine Being that we derive from.

11.) Avoiding telling your truth brings suffering to us and others.

12.) Not being what you are or are capable of brings pain and suffering to us and others.

13.) Raise above good and evil and suffering will be much less.

Friends are about relating well. If we can make friends with pain and suffering we are relating well with both. Our friends bring us something and we bring them something. Pain and suffering try to teach us and when learn from them we alleviate them of their burden.

End (4901).

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...
