Balms for the Soul

Balms for the Soul - (4043)

Live one day at a time. One day we can manage. The future we may not be able to manage looking at it. But what this day has in store for us we can manage. The future looks bleak but the day certainly doesn't. There's something quite ok about the day. All the days we have lived one day at a time put together takes us through the difficult times. To be true we only live moment by moment. We don't live the future we live the moment.

Wisdom is a balm for the soul. Seek out wisdom. Read from books that express wisdom; the esoteric and human wisdom of all times. Read from Master Samael, from the masters, from the initiates, from the bible, from people who have passed though and overcome difficulties etc. etc. Wisdom is chicken soup for the soul.

Seek refuge in the interior Divinity. Go quiet and travel intimately to the inner temple. Using imagination, concentration and relaxation, stay there, blending prayer and presence in the heart temple for as long as necessary for the requited balm to enter the soul.

Deep concentration only on breathing. Only breathing - doing the simplest most essential thing. Taking in vital life giving air and exhaling all the stress and worry of the day.

Changing centres is very effective. If we have our intellect or emotional centres troubled then engaging the motor centre is very helpful.

Everything passes. At some point later on, a person looks back at things and when looking back, the hardship of it all, the difficulty of it all, has long passed and new challenges are there now in front of us to be faced. Life is like that a continuous flow of problems to be solved.

End (4043).

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...
