Indulging Any Ego Causes a 'Crash'

Indulging Any Ego Causes a 'Crash' – (1567)

A ‘Crash’

If a person indulges an ego for too long a kind of a natural crash happens.

This is because every process has a natural limit and every process brings a result. With the result being either constructive or destructive.

Indulged for Too Long

If the ego is indulged for a long time then comes the limit of the negative consequences on our system. Our system can no longer stand this ego being indulged and so a ‘crash’ as we can call it happens.

A crash is where we may feel very fragile emotionally and intellectually, where we may even feel sick or unwell and where we may stop our work because we simply are not capable of fighting as we normally do. It seems that we can only work on recovering our normal state.

If a 'crash' is experienced connect to nature to gather strength and vitality and speed up your recovery.
There is a certain magic in nature that can heal and revitalise.
Nature can be your garden or local park.

This crash resets our system, throws the indulgent ego out of system and gives our body and psychology time to recover.

Be Smart Use the Experience of the ‘Crash’ to Strengthen the Resolve

When the body and our psychology are back to normal, this ego returns, and if one is smart one can use the experience of the crash to strengthen one’s resolve to not identify with this ego anymore or at the very least do one’s best to not feed it.

A wise person prevents a crash way before it can happen by not feeding any ego!

End (1567).

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...
