Purpose of Fantasy

Why do we fantasize?

The purpose of fantasy is relatively simple. It is just to make ourselves feel better by projecting a scenario and a series of events (often disjointed) that compensate for: what we lack, our short comings, our mistakes and our unfulfilled desires.

Projection of an Artificial Reality

Fantasy projects an artificial reality and we by means of wanting to believe in it (because we are self-hypnotised or because our consciousness is asleep) we enter into it, where we think we are something great or good or admirable.

General Fantasy of Self

So as long as we are projecting and believing in a given fantasy about ourselves we feel great about ourselves and we think that we are really that good, admirable and great. But in reality we are really not that good, great or admirable person.

This is what we call actually call in Gnosis the global or general fantasy that we have about ourselves, which in Gnosis we understand that we have to come to dissolve, so that we can see our reality and be able to find our inner Being or the master that dwells within.

Conclusion

One of the purposes of fantasy is to make us feel fine, good and even great, but in an unreal and artificial world. If we want to feel great for real, we must act in the real world and what is even better is to find our Being we have to go to the Being and worship the Being. He is the great one in us, the one that is truly admirable, honest, incorruptible, true, courageous, virtuous and divine.

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).
