Logical Confrontation of the Being: So Useful Worth a Try!

Logical Confrontation of the Being: So Useful Worth a Try! - (4042)

Master Samael makes mention of something he calls: 'the logical confrontation of the Being". When I read that I went "what does that mean?".

Here is a short explanation that gives a possible way to do it.

It means basically as the term suggests, to bring two things face to face or side by side. That is one thing confronts another thing. A negative state confronts a positive state for example.

It is not really contrast but rather a method of combat. Contrast provokes understanding and provides light but confrontation causes one thing to back off and the other thing to come to the front.

We always want a negative state or negative thing to back off in our psychology.

In the sense that Master Samael mentions it, we confront the ego with the Being, or better said with the relevant quality of our Inner Being.

For example, we can confront any "I" of lust with the sexuality of the Being, pride with the balance and majesty of the Being or greed with the moderation, contentment and limit respecting nature of the Being.

We may also confront any negative state with all the good things we have in our life, all the good things we have experienced, all the good things we have received from others and given others, all the good things that have come to us from Gnosis, all the good things that have come from our Inner Being etc. etc.

It is really a powerful tool, that I respectfully think can be useful to you at one or another point in your life and work.

End (4042).

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...
