how to endure suffering?
How does Samael Aun Weor invite the black magicians over to his house and have dinner? is it because of his ethics? (what if that black magician is someone's parent or someone's child? )
I read in one of the books of Samael Aun Weor There was a war in Atlantis. The black lodge attacked the golden city of the white lodge and actually conquered it, then later an angel named morya incarnated and in turn, won the battle for the white lodge. (correct me if I am wrong here.)
what happened to the occupants of the conquered city that was the white lodge around the very same time that the actual fighting stoped and the new control of the city was solidified? The initiates didn't all just continue on with their normal day? were there war crimes? I assume they didn't just force them into exile. Considering what I know about fornication they had them all take part in the normal rote of society and then they tried to corrupt them? Based on my understanding and memory of another writings of Samael Aun Weor, the black lodge was manipulating and stealing light at the time of Atlantis too? So even when the physical world of the planted earth is in a golden age there is still the harsh reality of war, of falling, of suffering etc etc.... same as what we have here and now. So there is no getting past it. Will the next age of the koradi, have a corresponding black lodge, and war too?
How can I better accept these harsh reality of physical life? If I wanted to become a bodhisatva, and endure the suffering of others in the physical world, what would be something good to know for a beginner? How can you prepare for the ever deeper and ever harsher reality?
Is having ethics the most important aspect of being able to accept these truths (ideas, concepts such as the harsh reality of the trogo-auto-ego-crat.)? If I have perfect ethics than I have perfect acceptance of reality?
how can I learn to live in the world? How to endure suffering? how to eat dinner with someone who is awakened and on the opposite path?

By consciously engaging in your personal matters and personal struggles, in order to transform them positively, for you and for others.
Do you have a problematic issue at work or in your family, where you need to have a difficult talk with your co-workers/family members, and you still postpone it, because it feels unpleasant? Do you have re-occurring argument or fights with your spouse, which will not subside? Do you see self-destructing patterns in your own behavior, which you still tolerate? These are all examples which we need to learn to address with ethics and true wisdom and to learn this alone on your individual level is hard in its' own. So, how do you want to lead entire groups of people, entire nations, destroy all evils, if you do not face your personal struggles first?
Bodhisattvas are beings, who have mastered their individual struggles. And thus they are assigned to lead groups, nations, humanities, because they can handle all of the energy and intensity (like the examples that you have described). It is very good to have awareness of global problems and to keep the big picture in mind. All of this can teach us a lot about us as individuals, about our karma. But to try to solve problems of larger proportions, which we might not be prepared for, may do a lot of harm to ourselves.
Think of a single light bulb that is directly connected to a power plant at full power output. What will happen to the poor light bulb? The same might happen with our body, emotions and intellect, if we engage in problems of an unsuitable size. We might end up with a lot of heavy elements within our subconsciousness, which in return might create a lot of unwanted conditions in us (fear, paranoia, defeatism, hopelessness, etc.).
So, let us reflect, where we stand in life. Do we have big responsibilities and need to care for the good of a lot of people? Or are we accountable for us and our immediate education/work/family life? The position in our life will tell us what we need to deal with (assuming we are not black magicians influencing masses with magic). Anything else is a matter of contemplation and shall be consumed in healthy doses and at the right time.
