Gossip Work Notes

Gossip Work Notes - (4589)

No doubt talking wastes a lot of energy.

The more we talk about something the less likely it is that we are going to do it. As we waste the energy needed to do it.

To do something well we need creative energy and gossiping wastes that. As gossiping itself is rather creative, but creative in a slant that is only partly true and which mostly leans towards the negative.

The more we talk about a lecture in our mind the worse the talk is, when actually delivered for real. Because we have used up our creative energy and it is more often mechanical in nature - like pressing play on the tape.

There is an "I" of gossip. This "I" enjoys gossiping and can spend hours doing it and it can even take up decent blocks of a person's day.

To gossip often is to enter into speculation and subjective opinion.

Being strict with the mind about what it actually knows we see the activity of gossiping being reduced to a sentence or two.

The action of gossiping weakens us. It strengthens the subjectivity and untruths in the mind and wastes our energy.

Gossiping is fertile ground for ill-will.

Gossiping often reveals what is not to be revealed and often sadly, many decisions and mental representations are wrongly made because of it.

Gossiping makes us superficial and withers magnanimity in ourselves as we what gossip about is often about the personal things of other people - that is trivial and all about life. There is little esoteric content in gossiping.

Gossiping is against hermeticism. We all know that hermeticism is needed for the work. As nothing can growth or crystalize in a non-hermetic environment.

I think a person who understands about the value of hermeticism will refrain from gossiping.

To be not losing the sexual energy yet gossiping all the time is a contradiction. As gossiping is definite way to fornicate with the word.

Antidote

If talking about someone, only allow yourself to say what you would say if that person was standing right next to you. This would make you to chose your words carefully and to be fair in what you say, avoiding negativity and subjectivity.

This is a really a good practice as one day unknown to us, that person will be standing behind us... It also helps us greatly to educate our own word.

Practice

Would you say these words if the person was standing next to you? If not, then stop. If you would, would you use the same choice of words? Would you say those words using the same tone? If not then make the appropiate changes.

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...
