One Way to Appreciate Others (224)

Introduction

There may be many ways to appreciate others and one of them is to learn from others, and when we learn from them we come to appreciate them more and they are happy to have helped us. This post is about one way that you can learn from others.

Everyone Has Certain Gifts

Everyone has certain gifts in life. Without exception everyone is good at something. Everyone has a good to excellent understanding of something in life that we do not have. That is something wonderful, that is why we have a multiplicity in life, so that all the gifts and talents can be shared amongst all of us, and all of us together produce all the wisdom in creation.

These gifts may come from life’s experiences, past lives and some their own innate inner nature and understanding. That is from their Being or Monad or Essence.

Find their Gifts

One way to appreciate others is to learn from their gifts, but before we can do that we have to find their gifts, find what they are excellent at. Usually they are good at what they like or love doing.

People can be good at hobbies, crafts, their job, teaching, speaking, writing, organising things, travelling, running, managing people, sports you name it. A good way to start to find their gifts is to find about their interests.

Observe then in Action

Even if we don’t know their gifts we can observe them to help ourselves find out, or just by observing them we can learn a lot as well. But to observe them we have to get in them action while they are working or dealing with people.

You know we can always learn from people in the bad and in the good.

Ask them to Teach You

If we can’t find out what a person’s gifts are we have to ask them what their gifts are or what they are good at or what they really love doing. What they love doing they will know a lot about. And if what they are good at is something that you lack or is something that you want to know about or develop in you then ask them straight out to teach you.

Conclusion

To learn something from someone else is wonderful and it is so much easier than learning by ourselves. It is also a lot quicker. It will also help us to appreciate others and it will open our mind to the fact that everyone has their gifts and things that they can pass on and teach and we also help them because by teaching us or passing on what they have learnt they make their life’s experiences and learnings useful.

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
