Sacrifice

Sacrifice - (8)

Definition

The best definition of sacrifice comes from Master Samael when he says that sacrifice is the conscious or clairvoyant choice of one good to superior to another. There is much that can be said about this. This blog is going to concentrate on examining sacrifice from the point of view of the psychological work.

In the Psychological Work

There comes a point in the work of the ego where we can become stagnated. There could be many reasons for this, however one of the main ones is that we don’t want to sacrifice the ego. We use the ego for to get or do something and over time we have become attached to using it and attached to what it gives us.

You know, we may need what it gives us, but usually when the ego gives something to us it does it harming or disadvantaging others or it gives something to us that is later a disservice to us.

We usually get stagnated because we don’t want to sacrifice the thing that the ego gives us or if the thing that the ego gives us is ok we don’t want to sacrifice the way the ego gives it to us because for example it may be a lot quicker than if we were to get it by more honest or decent means.

The Point of Sacrifice

The comes a point where we are not going anywhere in the dissolution of the ego and so we realise that we have to do something and that something usually means that we have to make a sacrifice.

Remember sacrifice is a conscious choice where we have to renounce or let go of the ego because we consciously know that with that ego we are not going anywhere. We have to sacrifice it in order to progress.

The best is when the consciousness really processes it. Then because it is the consciousness that decides it we have the will to do it and we progress.

Conclusion

We have to sacrifice something to get something superior. Please remember when we sacrifice something we get another thing and that if it is on the side of one’s essence or one’s esoteric or spiritual work one will be happier.

So don’t worry, don’t feel scared. Go ahead and do it!

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it. She is better than Google... End (5780).
