The Ego is About Receiving

Our Problem is Receiving - Always Wanting to Receive

What the ego is centred around in so many cases is receiving. The ego is really about a one way street where we only receive. The ego itself is immensely happy to just receive and receive and receive without end. It is something else in us that wishes to give, it is the love of the essence and the essence perceiving that it is wrong to ignore the law of balance and not give anything in return.

Receiving Centre of Gravity

The ego unfortunately has a problem of only receiving, very much like the Moon. Well this isn’t the problem, the problem is the expectation of receiving love from somebody for example. When the expectation is not met there is some sort of wondering why not? And the thinking continues: “what I have done wrong?”, ”how can you be so rude?”, and “how can I fix this?”. The point here is that we suffer when we have expectations to receive and they are not met.

The best way to eliminate egos that are based on receiving are by learning to give. There are many ways of giving, there is the physical way of giving, the psychological way and the esoteric or spiritual way. When we give psychologically we give physically or spiritually. The psychological field in us is the bridge between the esoteric and the physical. It also originates the physical actions and the esoteric.

Examples

Lust is an ego that is based on receiving, self-love, self-importance and self-compassion are also based on receiving. Greed and ambition too are also based on receiving.

In fact the whole economy is based on it as well. To survive we have to receive much more than we give, otherwise there is no profit. Profit is another word for receiving more than giving.

Astute Ego – Adapts to Give But Only to Receive Later

Mind you there is a trick of the ego and it is to give, and her is the trick, it gives so to receive. If there is no possibility of receiving, the ego stops and suddenly feels that only giving is a tremendous burden that can’t be sustained for long. Consequently the ego loses interest moves on.

Counteracting

We basically have to repolarise the sleeping essence and change it from receiving mode to giving mode. When we give as long as we give in balance we will not suffer. This is a guarantee.

Origin of this Aspect

The ego is like this because it was made with a lunar organ, which we can say gave rise or the lunar nature of the ego and one key aspect of the moon is that it does not give energy, it rather receives energy from the sun.
It seems that Lust originated all the other defects, this has a very significant implication, because lust is about receiving, the other egos are also based on receiving.

Summary


The best thing is to give, just as the sun does, this is the true solar nature. But as we know from master Samael the sun is not autoegocratic it is rather trogoautoegocratic meaning that it gives and it receives. We need to emulate the sun, which is to give and only receive so as to be able to continue giving and give more. There is no suffering in this and there is forward movement.

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).
