Some Work Aids - (1494)

An Aid

Sometimes it can be quite useful to have a procedure very present in our mind about how we can effectively deal with certain egos that pop up within us. This post is about giving you some of these short procedures summarized in the form of a more or less easy to remember acronym.

Short Procedures

If you have these acronyms that represent very short procedures of how to counteract the ego, very present within you especially when an ego is about to react they can be of enormous help.

Effectiveness Can Depend on the Person

Once again it depends on the person, such things may be useless to one person but helpful to another.

Create Your Own Work Aids

Even a particular acronym maybe not be helpful to a particular person, however in such a case one may take the idea and create based on their own observations and work, new acronyms that are more effective as an aid to help them to counteract the ego on the spot.


What Experience has Showed Me

What experience has showed me, is that if we don’t have knowledge of how to counteract the egos on the spot we end up being a victim of the egos.


S.W.A.T Anger

S:            Stop
W:          Wait
A:            and
T:            Think

This is so handy to deal with anger. If you just stop and wait for a short while and begin to think creatively about the solution, you will see how much this helps. The only thing is to know how effective it is one has to give it a try. Unfortunately you have to get angry to see how effective it is.


S.C.A.L Confusion, Procrastination, Hesitation, Inertia, Laziness etc.

S:            Stop
C:            Collaborate
A:            and
L:            Listen

This is a verse from a song that is not very constructive for the consciousness, however it can be helpful in dealing with such internal states as confusion, procrastination, hesitation, vacillation, inertia, laziness etc.

By collaborate I mean to work with ‘the work’ or work with the Being in you and think based on the work or for the benefit of the Being and then go inside of yourself and listen to what you really want to do. What comes from the depths of your Being or in other words what comes to you to from a place that is deeper than the personality, mind and the egos. This more authentically you and is more of what you truly want to do and not what the ego wants to do.


S.I.T Lust

S:            Stop
I:             Inhale
T:            Transmute

This is extraordinarily helpful. We get into trouble because we just don’t do anything. We have to do something and when we do we will reap the benefits of having done something.

So that ‘s the key with lust, physically transmute the sexual impulse and then also psychologically transmute it, seeing that sexuality is a unifying factor it connects us to ourselves and to the Being and therefore to the cosmos. It enhances us and dignifies us when we transmute it.


Conclusion

Feel free to give these or your own work aids a shot. This is a very good way to teach beginners in the work on the ego. It presents them with a concrete method of counteracting the ego and once they have some experience they can drop the work aid.

Even though a person has been studying Gnosis for a long time, there are times where one is like a beginner when it comes to working certain egos that have not been worked on before. And so having such a work aid for a while is helpful.

End (1494).

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
