Discerning Right from Wrong (234)

Introduction

This is such an important skill in life and in the path. It seems that we are always learning about what is right and what is wrong and when we have made a mistake it is mostly because we didn’t know that it was wrong or would bring harmful or inconvenient consequences.

We really have to have a way to work out if something is wrong or right if our intuition or consciousness or conscience is not telling or even hinting at anything.

How to Discern Right from Wrong

What I am going to do here is give you a system or a technique that will help to discern right from wrong.

Basically the technique is based on the wisdom that “every tree is known by its fruit”. In other words something that is wrong is known by its end result or consequences.

So to know right from wrong we have to project into the future to see the consequences and end results.

Key – Look for the End Results!

So here is the key, if you want to know whether something is wrong or right use cause and effect to see the chain of events that will unfold and then gauge whether these events will be convenient for you and for others.

If you want to know if a thought is right or wrong do the same, see how the thought becomes an emotion and how the emotion becomes and action and the action generates events and circumstances and reactions and more actions and so on and so on. Will they be convenient for you and others?

Conclusion

Apply these key whenever you are in doubt, that is whenever your conscience or intuition or consciousness is not speaking to you loud or clear or is not even giving the slightest hint.

Well if you get it wrong then you know already for next time and tell as many other people as you can so that they know as well.

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).
