Sensual Pleasure Burns Energy and Real Pleasure Comes from Work

Sensual Pleasure Burns Energy and Real Pleasure Comes from Work - (3887)

Real pleasure comes from work and not so much from the senses. I think everyone knows this, but chose to ignore it.

There is a reason for why real pleasure comes from work, and that is that work creates and builds and invests paying forward into the future. If the work be for the soul, the soul is strengthened, enlivened and grows enhancing the possibilities of it being brought forward further and further into the future to grow more and more.

With the pleasure of the senses so much energy (energy in general not just the sexual energy) gets consumed to experience that pleasure. That pleasure is always so short lived, and it leaves one consumed, dipping considerably into one's reserves. Instead of multiplying and enhancing and bringing good new things into the future it brings less and less energy into the future. If there is less energy there is less will and if there is less will there is less of the new that can happen or be created. Meaning there is less power to struggle against recurrences, entropy, karma, difficulties, obstacles, the egos etc.

For the person wishing to grow his or her soul, to sacrifice, limit or curtail the pleasure of the senses may hurt briefly in the moment but it is wiser, as it pays off much more handsomely than experiencing a short duration of pleasure and being handicapped later on for a much longer time.

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...

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...

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...
