Daily Psychological Work

Introduction

This post is a essentially the presentation of a step by step guided practice that one can go through at one’s leisure at the end of every day.

The Practice

Relax (Body)

1.) Choose your position and begin by relaxing your body. One very effective way to do this is to use the breathing.

2.) Follow your breath and when you breathe in notice that you are slightly invigorated. This slight bit of energy helps us t maintain the practice.

3.) When you breathe out notice that you relax and that you release tension.

4.) Use the out breath to relax your whole body. See and feel that the tension in your body goes out with each out breath.

Relax (Mind and Emotion)

1.) Put your focus into your mind and as you continue to put your focus there, expand your focus to make you gradually aware of all that you have going on in your mind.

2.) Just become aware of what you have in your mind.

3.)Now focus your attention on your emotional centre located in your solar plexus. Expand your awareness there to become more and more aware of what is going on in your emotional centre.

4.) Now, keep your attention focussed in a no strained way in your mind. Watch for the thoiughts that appear.

5.) When a thought appears, let go of it. Don’t continue the thinking process. Gently stop the thinking process and release the issue or topic that the thought is about.

6.) Continue to do this until you notice a change in the level of activity of the mind.

Retrospection (Focusing on the Day’s Failures)

1.) Retrospection: start from right now, that is the moment right now that you are doing this practice and go backwards.

2.) Work backwards by recounting the events and actions of your day, but pay more attention to your inner psychological state during each event. More importantly, recount what you were feeling and were thinking during each event.

3.) Look for the events in which you failed in the ego, events where you got identified with the ego  and the thoughts, emotions and actions that were generated could have been stopped.

4.) Stop the retrospection practice when you reach the moment that you woke up.

Make a list of the Failures

1.) After the retrospection practice you will have enough information to be able to make a list of the day’s failures.

2.) Put the ones that were more intense and longer lasting at the top of the list and give them more priority.

Work on the Ego Behind the Failure

1.) Take the two biggest failures and examine them.

2.) Determine which ego is behind them.

3.) Also determine what is the way of thinking of the ego behind them. This is the logic of the ego that is behind these failures.

4.) Question sincerely and deeply the truth of the ego.

5.) Upon seeing that main arguments or line of thinking of the ego is false and wrong we are ready for elimination, because we will want to eliminate the ego and we will see it false and wrong and we will never be able to eliminate something that is true or wrong.

Elimination with the Divine Mother

1.) Concentrate on your heart. Remember that in the inner esoteric dimension of your heart is your heart temple, which is the temple of your Being and of course Divine Mother.

2.) Yearn for her to hear you and help you. Concentrate on her and invoke her using the mantra RAM0IO, or O AO KAKOF NAKONSA or SOLU SIGI SIG.

3.) Present the ego to her, telling her all about what it does and how it is wrong and how you want to eliminate it.

4.) Beg her to dissolve it in the intellectual centre. Vocalise the mantra KRIM nine times.

5.) Beg her to dissolve it in the emotional centre. Vocalise the mantra KRIM nine times.

6.) Beg her to dissolve it in the motor, instinctive, sexual centres. Vocalise the mantra KRIM nine times.

The Resolution to Make Tomorrow Different

After all that have seen, understood and done in the practice form the decision and therefore resolution to not fall into identification with that ego or ‘I’ tomorrow morning.

Now to finish this practice activate your awareness to that particular defect. Because it just could waiting for you to finish your practice to manifest! Don’t let it catch you off guard!


End.

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).
