Some Egos are Like Fires

Some Egos are Like Fires - (320)

Introduction

Definitely not all egos but some are like fires. Lust, anger, self-love etc. are like fires. They even obey the same principles of fire.

Burn Intensely but Need Fuel to Burn

They burn intensely and if we are intelligent enough to not feed them they slowly burn out by themselves for not having fuel and air to keep burning.

The more you feed them, fan them and touch them, agitate them the more intensely they burn.

Why

Why are some egos like fire? Simple, because the ego as does everything else in creation contains the four elements within its constitution. There are some egos that much more related to fire than other egos. For example laziness is much more related to earth than lust is or pride is.

So within the nature of anger and lust is more fire than anything else and most people really know this.

Putting out a Fire

To put out a fire, you need throw water or earth (sand) on it, or starve it of air or not give it any space to expand, or just let it burn out by itself. So with anger and lust we can certainly starve it, make ourselves so busy that we don’t have time to think of lust or anger or we can use relaxation (earth - throw sand on it) or throw water on it, transmute or apply love sweetness, kindness etc.

Conclusion

So for the egos that have a lot of fire in their nature one very good way to deal with them is to think of them as fire and not feed them with fuel or air. That is do not feed them with your thoughts (air) and do not give them impressions (fuel).

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
