Do You Know the Truth that Money Does not Make You Happy?

Do You Know the Truth that Money Does not Make You Happy? – (1841)

We Have Heard it So Many Times But it Hasn’t Sunk In

When a special moment comes along where one has to decide between money and ethics or between money and one’s work or one’s inner Being then one really has the best opportunity to understand this truth spoken about so often!

Contrast

One may have the chance to take a good quantity of money but at the expense of something! Always at the expense of something else. This something else is usually the real thing that makes you happy. We think that taking the money will make us happy, but you know and everyone else says that it won’t. It seems as if it will but it won’t. The Being, ethics, living an upright life, the joy, security and peace of upright conduct is what gives you happiness!

This is maybe best known when we have to answer to God or the Law when we die. Image you are there in front of the Divine Law and contrast the two situations having taken that money at the expense of some of the values of your own soul or not having taken that money and have kept intact the values of your own soul.

Your own essence will answer that question instantly for you!

Conclusion

This truth is something so simple and clichéd but very true! The values of your own soul or money? Which has more value to you? One has a priceless and eternal value and one has a relative value that crumbles in time and matter.

End (1841).

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...
