Break it Down into Small Achievable Steps

Break it Down into Small Achievable Steps – (1734)

No Results – Low Morale

This happens a lot everywhere. People set goals or there are results that they want to achieve, and that is something good and exciting. However, as people begin to work towards their goals and the results that they want to see don’t appear, they lose morale. Then starts the usual tirade of things: “it doesn’t work”, “I’m no good, I’m useless”, “It is too hard, maybe I am not cut out for this.” etc. etc.

Be Smart – Set Small and Achievable Goals

Naturally, not seeing results leads to giving up or feeling low, defeated, depressed etc. We have to be smart and avoid this situation if we can.

Good to know that all of the steps above are
actually steps. So we have to keep taking steps.

Often this situation is bound to come about because we set goals that are too high and can only be achieved much later in the future, and of course we are not going to see results until much time passes.

What is intelligent if we can do it, is to break down the goal or result we want into much smaller steps or gaols and go about working to achieve them. As they are achievable we will maintain our morale high and renew our enthusiasm each time we complete one of these small goals.

Applies to the Work on Dissolving the Ego

This applies to dissolving an ego as well. Select for yourself achievable small goals in the dissolution of an ego. Chose a facet, a thought and go about achieving it. Don’t worry if it is too slow. As you begin to achieve these small goals you will get quicker and quicker at this kind of work. The main thing is that you are working towards a goal and your morale is more or less good with the normal dips.

Conclusion

Our own progress and nature follows a course of its own, very different most of the time to our mind’s projected course of progress. We just have to start to work at our achievable goals and observe how we progress and come into tune with that and then set goals and work more intensely in tune with the way we work and progress according to our own rhythm, nature, abilities and capacities.

A water fall, even the greatest waterfalls in nature all start with a drop of water.

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...
