Applications of Relaxation Notes

Applications of Relaxation Notes - (5970)

Introduction

As simple and as great the tendency is to zoom past the stage of relaxation, it is very very beneficial to spend at least a week or more seeing everything through the eyes of relaxation.

If we are to do this experiment, we will see how so much of our spiritual practice is enhanced by taking relaxing into account.

Here are some applications that if we relax well, we can truly give ourselves a very good chance at successfully completing the practice or responding well to the situation.

1.) Listening

2.) Entering a sacred space or place

3.) Talking

4.) Understanding anything

5.) Reading

6.) Dangerous situations

7.) Stressful or hectic situations

8.) Dealing pain and suffering

Some Notes

Mastering relaxing our physical body will teach us next how to relax our psyche, which is most important of all.

To relax the spirit is different. It is relaxed with fulfillment and by right thinking, right feeling and right action.

If we are not relaxed something is wrong somewhere within us.

Relaxation is a true value. To relax is a conscious decision. Something that comes from within.

Relaxation is something that is decided from within and only our awareness is used to do it. Nothing external.

Everyone wants to relax and people seek it semi-consciously and always use something external to do relax, alcohol, drugs, a garden, a picnic, a movie, a book, a movie a lookout etc. etc..

To relax we need to observe ourselves. To relax we use awareness.

Work on ourselves begins when we relax.

Each true value has an opposite and that is laziness.

To be slouching in a chair all twisted is not relaxing as it is not conscious. What is conscious is ordered and harmonious.

When we skip relaxation our practice does not usually go too far.

We can also move relaxed. Meaning to move without tension. Our muscles do not have to be in complete tension to move.

For the mind to relax we need some kind of an order - or a plan. This teaches us that relaxation has order within it. Relaxation is not something ad hoc.

That was one of Master Samael's main daily practices was to relax and remember the Inner Being.

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...
