Desire Declutter – (1486)

Suffer, Hesitate, Vacillate, Procrastinate and are Inefficient

Because we have so many desires we suffer, we are inefficient, we hesitate, we vacillate and procrastinate.

Want a quieter mind, declutter desires. Because desire causes the mind to think.

Suffer

Desire makes us to suffer. If we have no desires we feel free and we are free.


Hesitate, Vacillate, Procrastinate and Inefficiency

These four things are due to having too many desires in our system. Our mind’s role is to organise desires so that they can be fulfilled.


Mind the Organiser

When we have two or more desires our mind naturally tries to make plans so that they can be fulfilled. This means that our mind has to do a lot of careful prioritising and deciding and in general organising. The more desires there are the more organising our mind has to do.


Organising Requires Much Thinking

This requires a lot of thought on our part and this thinking takes time and this makes us slow. If our mind was really excellent at organising it would quickly create a plan and we would be on our way, but what happens with us in a real world is that our mind is not that good and there are always complications.


Difference Between Minds

The difference between people is that some have a good mind to organise things while others don’t have a good organising mind and when they have many desires they just collapse.


Cause of Hesitation and Vacillation

To decide between desires takes us time and so we become hesitant, because both desires are equal in strength we then vacillate between one and another.

Cause of Procrastination

Because we know that we have to decide between too many desires and it is going to be difficult we don’t know where to start and so we procrastinate. If there was one desire or none we would not procrastinate because we would know exactly what to do.

Cause of Inefficiency

This whole process of hesitating, vacillating and procrastinating makes us terribly inefficient.


Conclusion

Declutter desires and receive great benefits for our mind and overall well-being. Letting go of desires saves much mental effort, because there is not much to organise.

If we want to quieten our mind we need to declutter our desires then the mind will not have anything to organise and so it will fall quiet.

End (1486).

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...
