Taking Things Relatively – Being Oversensitive (184)

Being Oversensitive

There are times in our life where we can become very sensitive and as a consequence of that we react to the slightest provocation.

The reactions could be outwardly directed as in an angry outburst or they could be inward where we really feel upset, hurt and worried. One example of when we become quite sensitive psychologically speaking is when we

It is quite strange because on the other hand we can be at other times indifferent to the remarks and actions of others and only suffer very slightly if anything at all.

Being Sensitive – Is it Good?

Being sensitive in relation to others can be good, that is to be quick on the uptake to when somebody is getting upset or angry or disagrees with something, that has been said, gives us the chance to direct the outcome in such a way that it will be favourable for both. On the other hand being sensitive towards ourselves can be terrible, because any small detail can worry us, anger us or even depress us. So, in general it is better to be sensitive to others and insensitive where it comes to ourselves.

Conclusion

When we are sensitive there is something in our background. There is a belief or an issue there. The issue could be that we are not loved or treated with respect, or it could be someone that we love is not treated well by others. We in short have to find that issue and then work intensely on it. The posts that follow after this one I hope will be of some use to you. The following posts address some of the issues that can result in us being oversensitive.

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
