A Particular Individual Related Aspect of Selfishness (162)

Introduction

There may be an instances in our life where we resent usually one person from taking or enjoying something that we buy for ourselves or for others. What’s strange we don’t resent a different person taking or enjoying something that we have bought for ourselves or for others. For example, we may buy a box of chocolates for ourselves and our mother and sister may take one and we feel ok with that however when our father takes one and we resent it.

Why do we have that feature in our psychology? The answer is in our mind, we must have a concept or way of thinking in our mind that disagrees with that particular person taking something from us or others.

Where do we Find the Answer?

The first place we have to investigate is our mind. Being honest we will find that there is something there in relation to that person. We may think that he/she doesn’t deserve it, that they are selfish, that he/she only takes and doesn’t give, that he/she are selfish, that that person will take all of it and we won’t be able to get more of it, that that person just likes to take and that is bad, we think that person should not want to take any of it etc. As always it is time to question each one of those thoughts.

When we question them honestly we will find that they are not true.

Conclusion

We ask others did they enjoy our gifts did they eat it or did they wear it. Why is that I wonder? Basically because we somewhere in our mind resented giving it to them, have a look at this, is it true? We also not like that our gifts are wasted. This happens many times and we have to be more aware when we give gifts. Anyhow if we give something sincerely with an open heart merits come to us even if the person never uses or appreciates what we give them.

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).
