What You Are Doing is Right for You – But Another Person Is Upset and then we Feel Unwell – (2509)

The Situation

We have all probably been in such a situation many times before. Where what we are doing or have to do is something that is right for us, meaning that if we don’t do it, it would be rather cruel or wrong. It can even be something that we can’t get out of. But there is someone close to us that is just upset with it all.

We know we have to do it but yet we feel so uncomfortable doing it because that person is upset with us. We say to ourselves it is something that is over and done with in a couple of hours and it would be just so nice if that person didn’t mind.

The strange thing is that it is not hurting anyone, it is not hurting our spiritual work and it is ethically or morally wrong. Just that the silly jealousy, attachment, fear or self-love of the person can’t handle it.

So why does another person being upset with us bother us so?

Why?

The answer is because we are actually dependent at some level f our mind on that person. Hard to believe but if you are sincere in your questioning you will find it and that is the point that if you work on it, you will feel altogether different.

Key Point of Investigation

The key question is what do we depend on that person for? There is something so let’s question things to find out.

Do we depend on that person to do our job, to feed us, to wash our clothes, to drive us, to give us money, to comfort us, to advise us, to make life easier or perhaps none of these things…

Are we then dependent on that person to make us feel something? We can’t stand feeling that feeling within ourselves and that person being upset with us makes us to feel that which we can’t stand feeling.

So what is that feeling that we can’t stand feeling?

It is not being accepted? Is it being rejected? Is it friction? Is it opposition? Is it conflict? Is it that we can’t stand another harbouring ill-will against us? …

Conclusion

At the end of it all, we depend upon that person for something, and that something is something that we have created at some point and we have attached that person to being a supplier of the dependence to that point.

We have to unearth that for our freedom and for the freedom of the other as well.

End (2509).

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...
