Gnosis is about GIVING not Receiving! (141)

The Situation in Gnosis

If we understand Gnosis well, we will come to the conclusion that Gnosis is not about us receiving and being pampered but about us giving and serving. This if I am honest is more what the real situation in Gnosis is about.

A Wise Man

A very wise man once said about Gnosis, that he came to Gnosis to pay, as this wonderful and wise man understood that everyone comes to Gnosis with a lot of karma, some more than others of course, but in general, we all have heaps to pay and Gnosis is a very marvellous way to cancel all the karmic debts that we have.

Don’t Expect to be Pampered

If we come to Gnosis expecting to be pampered, not to contribute financially and to receive praises about everything we are getting it pretty wrong and to put it bluntly we will suffer.

Giving = Merits – No Other Way!

Only in giving can we acquire merits and come to die psychologically and therefore change for eh better. A person who is always receiving will one day stop receiving and if he or she has become accustomed to it they will suffer.

What About Learning to Give?

It is true that we have to learn how to receive but it is always better business and spiritual business to be on the side of giving rather than receiving. When I mean giving I mean giving of our virtues and service or help. Not giving the ego but rather sacrificing the ego for the benefit of others and our Being.

Conclusion

If you follow this simple rule and live by it and make it your attitude to everything in life you will really prosper and make headway in your work spiritual endeavours.

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).
