Giving Notes - (6013)

Intro

Here are some notes about giving. They are discoveries and may they be of some help.

Notes

To develop giving, the right conditions for it, really help. The basic element that must be present in those conditions is that there are or there is someone that is less fortunate in whatever sense.

In short, go where there is little. Where there is poverty of some kind...

There is poverty of many kinds...Not only physical, there is internal poverty and there is poverty of time and poverty of values and poverty of knowledge and skills.

To develop giving we must have something to give others. What we have within to give shows us where to go and what to give.

In wanting to give we develop ourselves. Because once 'we have something' we can give.

The easiest kind of giving has to do with money...

We can always make more money but we can not make more time or health in some cases. It is also not easy to make values. This takes hard work and time.

We can't judge before giving, if we do, the impulse to give disappears. The worst enemy of giving is judging. Judging stops giving immediately! 

Judgements in relation to giving are interestingly mostly questions. Such as: "do they deserve it?", "why don't they work?", "what are they going to do with it?", "what a nerve to ask?", "why can't they get their act together?". etc. etc.

Giving can be mechanical after overcoming the initial resistance. After that, what is most important and what matters most is the way in which we give and the internal quality at the moment in which we give. 

We are only going to give up our comforts. That is all that we are required to give. That is where the whole disparity lies. 

The attachment of a rich few to their comforts deprives so many of the basic necessities. For there to be more equality it would basically mean for the rich to give up a fraction of their comforts. They don't have to, it is only the quality of giving that can and in the end is able to bring equality.

To purify giving, give with no thought to what is to come back.

Giving is the way to open heartedness. Without an open heart it is so difficult to embrace new circumstances, people, cultures and our life's difficulties.

Giving virtues in difficult situations allows us to leave the difficulty.

Giving shows the way out of conflict.

We should not taunt others who have les with empty promises of giving, just because we have the means to give, but are deciding not to. Fooling ourselves that we can actually five.

We can bank on the law of reciprocity. To receive abundantly we need to give abundantly this is the law. This is where our faith and trust goes.

To give dissolves much of our distrust. When we don't want to give we are stuck in a state of suspicion and distrust.

To truly trust the law of reciprocity remove the general distrust implied in not giving.

When the genuinely poor ask for help they are NOT deceiving us. Deep down we feel that they may be tricking us or they can do without help. We would never admit that.

If we give and we are deceived we will still receive back. We are not going to receive the karmic debt for deceiving someone. The deceiver will receive it.

Where would we be if others before us did not give?

The masters and the Universe give the most. Nature gives but also takes, She must fulfill the law of retribution, as in Tarot Card number 10. She gives us our body but takes it back into her system, through the ground or through the air. In both cases it is fire that returns the original energy back to Her. The fire of the furnace or the fire of the worm's stomach.

In many cases the masters gave their lives... They showed us to give by their example and that with their giving of their live they showed in action that our distrust of giving and our small concerns are nothing...  

There is a real joy in giving. This we can introduce ourselves to and bit by bit learn to enjoy.

There is little reasoning to give. It is something simple from our heart.

It is true some cultures have giving as a part of their ways, while other cultures are very 'tight'.


End (6013).

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...
