Separation from the Ego III (191)

Introduction

Objective of this post: to give people concrete and solid techniques to separate from the ego.


When we Fail

Where we fail in the work of the ego is in separation. This step out of the five is the most important step that there is. We can work in the other steps but if there is no separation then we will fail.


The Basis or Foundation of Separation

There is a very important crucial truth underlying work on the ego and specifically the separation of the ego from our psyche is that which we fundamentally are. We are awareness or we are consciousness.
The question is to really separate the ego deeply from ourselves we have to know that to have experienced that have to come to the consciousness discovery and acceptance of that. That all that we are is an awareness that is consciousness of itself that recognises itself and is not the body, the mind, a sensation, an emotion, the voice in our head, the impression of the tone of the voice in my head, the personality etc.


Conclusion

When we really know what we are then of course we know then that we are not the ego and then of course we have the reason to separate from it. Because we have the understanding that that psychological entity which is trying to get us to adopt its identity is false and does not have a true identity by itself from its own side. It has according to Buddhism a false identity or a dependent identity that is set up depending on other things, principally thought.


End (191).

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).
