Reference Points in our Internal Chatter

Reference Points in our Internal Chatter - (1438)

Introduction

There is an observation that we can make here, and it is when we are internally chattering away positively about ourselves we think or chatter away using the "third person''.

We chatter away internally putting words into the mouths of others about ourselves. The egos that have a reference point in other people are self-love, self-importance, and self-consideration.

There is another interesting observation, it is when we chatter internally in a negative way about ourselves we use the "first person". We chatter away saying things like “I can't do this!”, "I can't cope!", "I am useless!”, "I am a failure!" etc. all in the first person. Obviously, the reference point for the egos of self-pity, self-compassion etc. that chatter away in this way, is our own mind.

Key to Defeat these Egos

The key to defeating each of these egos is to change the reference point!

With self-hove, self-importance, self-consideration we need to move our reference point into ourselves.

With the egos of self-compassion, self-pity, we need to move the reference point to others or to reality.

This is ratified by the fact or observation that when we become identified with self- compassion we don't want to believe others (the positive things that they say about us). When we are identified with self-love we don't want to listen to ourselves to love our inner Being. We only want love from others.

Changing the Reference Point

To change our reference point we need some identification or fusion with that reference point. To locate the reference point in our essence we need to know ourselves as essence first, to know that we are the essence.

Conclusion

So here is the key to defeat these egos in our internal chatter. If when we are boasting about ourselves in our internal chatter we can change the reference point to be ourselves and we will see that we don't feel like chattering about ourselves at all. When we start chattering by saying “I am this and that” we feel sick straight away because it is just not palatable, so stop our internal chatter.

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...
