Ethics for the Path

Ethics for the Path - (4410)

The path works by virtue of its ethics.

If we don't know these ethics we don't end up relating well to the path.

We won't be able to get the path to work... We won't be able to even work for the path...

The ethics of life or the way life works is not the way the path works. There are many things that are in common and there are many things that are not and this makes a person falter on the path or relate badly and become disappointed with the path and not understand it.

The ways of an highly ethical human life are the characteristics that are in common with the ways of the path... But the ethics and ways of the path go much further...

Only the spiritual teachings can teach us these ethics and the many ways of the path. Life and life's teachings can't teach us the path.

What definitely doesn't work for the path is the ego mixed with the values of life, or in other words: mind, ego and personality. This inferior triad doesn't work for the path.

We never inherit the path. We are never gifted the path. We are not worthy of the path until we prove it.

We can't chose the circumstances of our path. Because we are not the author of our path, our Inner Being is and He sees what we need. Which is often what we think that we don't need...

We don't steal, commit adultery, harm others because of others... We don't steal, commit adultery and harm others because it is against our Being and our principles first and foremost.

No sentimentality on the path. We get to where we are by hard, sincere and honest work. If we get anywhere on the path it is because we are sincere.

To be continued...

End (4410).

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...
