Why We Shouldn’t Move Between Gnostic Centres (140)

Difficult – Why Not to Move between Centres?

This is a very difficult subject actually and that is the reason why I am writing this post, in the hope to shed some light on the subject and make the issue much more understandable.

You know I have seen many students really upset over this issue, and instructors as well. The better the students understand the issue the less problems will arise for both the students and the instructors.


One Line – One Dynamic

The main reason why moving between Gnostic centres is not really so constructive is because we are not taking or following one line. Yes the core of the teachings is the same, but every Gnostic centre has its own dynamic and rhythm.

When we move between centres we partake of both dynamics and rhythms and what usually happens in us is that because we compare those two different dynamics and rhythms don’t synchronise but they clash and that clash is not really productive for us. It actually harms us. We find it difficult to concentrate and dedicate ourselves to the work that is going on in each centre. Even we can quite easily overload ourselves and in so doing we end up doing nothing. Every centre has its tasks and works and taking on the tasks of each centre is overloading ourselves we don’t do any of the task well.

Choosing one line and one dynamic allows us to concentrate and to dedicate ourselves to the goal of the tasks or work being followed in the centre.


Choose One

We as students are free to choose a centre but the best is to choose one centre in which you feel comfortable with the instructor and whom you trust and whom you like the dynamic and the task and the end result or goals of the tasks.

It is then just a simple matter of dedicating yourself to the work of the tasks and the activities of the centre. You can relax and work. No more comparing, gossiping and feeling disappointed just work!


Retreats

If you miss your friends from the other centres you can always see them in the retreats, which are events in which many groups from many Gnostic centres come together to work on a series of common practices that are for all the retreat attendees.


Conclusion

This has been a very short post, and I hope it sheds some light on the subject. In the end choosing one of anything simplifies our life and allows dedication, concentration, peace, loyalty and results - which is happiness.

Ask yourself have you met anyone who jumps constantly between centres that is happy and is getting results in their work?

Or put yourselves in the shoes of your instructor and see the students who jump between centres what would you think? Anyway from experience I have seen many students who jump between centres eventually chose and find happiness where they end up.

End (140).

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).
