What are we if we Stop Projecting? Expired Food Vanity

What are we if we Stop Projecting? Expired Food Vanity - (3784)

Errrh don't know, it stops us in our tracks for a minute right? Who am I then?

We are always projecting, walking and projecting, working and projecting, in our projections are the ideas about ourselves, which are mostly erroneous. We just know it is erroneous because we are inventing it and wishing it. We only ever wish for what we don't have.

So we will be what we really are and the bonus is, we will be seeing what we really are, not believing in strange ideas of ourselves.

The main obstacle to stop projecting about ourselves is vanity. If we work on vanity a lot of the projections will go or be so easily discarded by us.

Why do we keep vanity alive? Because always we believe it has a valuable use and pays something out to us. It is something that we feed to ourselves. With vanity we continually feed wrong ideas about ourselves to ourselves. It happens we like what we feed ourselves about ourselves.

Maybe we can just tell ourselves I don't really need this food I am feeding myself, I can do without it, can't I? It is bad food anyway, makes me psychologically sick and deluded. That helps us to tell ourselves this.

As soon as though we realise we are feeding ourselves rotten, old, expired, useless food we change our ideas.

You know what it seems to pay out to us is something that we only imagine or feel in our head with the thought: "we impressed them". But who knows really what we did, maybe we made them slightly repulsed, may be we annoyed them: "ah the same old stupid see-through vanity" which mind you people often feel sorry for the person who has that (that's embarrassing).

Vanity is something for ourselves. It is something that we feed ourselves, we feed ourselves what impressed us in the past. So it is all about us, coming around full circle.

We only ever please ourselves in the end in reality. That is all we can do, we can't really please others, just impossible and too hard a task. So it starts to make sense that we can drop vanity and know that we are not pleasing anyone, we are always pleasing ourselves and so we can drop the fantasy that we are impressing others. Because we are not doing it to impress them really! (We are doing it for the thrill of the thought 'oh I impressed him/her made them look twice, trip over, forget what they were saying, get nervous all that common fish guts...which is for us not for them).

End (3784).

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...
