A Spiritual Warrior or a Saint? (266)

Introduction

Personally I had a big aversion to the possibility of becoming a saint. I thought erroneously that the work makes one a saint. Well it does make one a saint but it depends on what we call a saint or rather what we think a saint is.

It is usually our own concept of what a saint is that we reject. We don’t want to become the concept that we have. Because we are not saints, we don’t have an idea of what it is really like to be a saint.

Erroneous Concepts

One can have a concept of a saint as being the holy person walking around in a monastery always in prayer with his or her hands joined together pointing upward towards the heights. The persona of a saint fitting more or less this appearance may appeal to people or may not appeal to people.

Anyway the truth in the end is that as we work on ourselves we become more and more the Being, and the Being is the Being, He is not a saint, nor a hero, nor a magician or anything but Himself. However, just to confuse you more He has within him these qualities of a saint, hero, magician etc. that he in creation can manifest but He is not them He is beyond them.

If we are to Take an Identity

If we are to stray away from our false identity or personality and adopt one of the work, it would be more advantageous to adopt one that you are happy with. I think personally think that a spiritual warrior is more advantageous.

As a gnostic your identity is more like that of a spiritual warrior than that of a saint. We are at war with the ego for many years and only when the ego is almost dissolved to come to be more like mystics or saints. Remember Hercules in the second mountain, he is still a warrior. It wasn’t until the ninth labour of Hercules that he rested and stopped becoming a warrior.

Though the best identity and the truest one is that of your Being.

Conclusion

This post may not be useful to everyone but I hope that it has shed some light on the identities we can falsely create, assume and even think we have to assume then and then because we don’t like come into internal conflict with the work on ourselves and therefore come into conflict with Gnosis, i.e. the Gnostic Teachings.

As mentioned earlier the best identity to take is that of the Being and or the consciousness, though the closest identity that describes our work is that of a spiritual warrior, because we are working hard to try and conquer our karma, our egos and the higher levels if Being.

End (266).

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...
