Inner Mind – (1504)

Post Revised: 24/02/2024

Three Minds

There are three minds within each human being. They are the sensual mind, the intermediate mind and the inner mind.

We think we only have one mind but not quite true Gnosis says we have three.

If we are careful in observing ourselves we can actually know which one is active in a given moment. For example, it is so easy to know when we are using the sensual mind and when the inner mind is working.

The sensual mind is very useful for life here in the physical world. It lacks the knowledge and understanding that creation is dual. There is always matter and spirit in everything created. The sensual mind unfortunately only sees the matter side of things.

Matter in creation is needed to provide a vehicle for the spirit to animate and express itself and matter needs the spirit to give it life.

The senses - the data for the sensual mind. Subjective data because it is data seen only
from our point of view. Not from a bird's eye outside point of view.

All Minds Reason Even the Inner Mind

All three minds are the same in that they depend on a data source. Once they have received their data they then fulfil their function of reasoning.

The inner mind is like a special screen which allows the messages from the consciousness to be displayed on it.

So when the data of the consciousness appears on the screen of the inner mind, the inner mind can then reason. When it reasons it will reason objectively, because it has objective data upon which to reason.

Three Minds and the Three Types of Love

The three types of love, sensual love, emotional love and conscious love correspond to these three minds as well.

Certainly the sensual mind corresponds to sensual love. Most people love on this level because we use the sensual more than anything else and the inner mind is more or less closed in human beings.

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...
