We Hide from Others what we Hide from Ourselves (254)

Introduction

At first it does not really seem true, but given a closer look it appears to have some truth to it. So this post is about bringing trying to bring this truth out.


Why We Hide Things

The truth behind this statement lies in investigating why we hide things. When we hide something from others it is because we actually do not feel so good about what we are hiding. In some way we know that we should not be doing it or that we should not have done it. It could be something neutral even, like having bought an expensive pair of sunglasses and we don’t our fellow Gnostics to see that we bought them because we think that they will think that we are full of vanity.


We Hide Because we are not Fully Ok with it!

So when we hide something it is because we are not fully ok with it. Some parts of us are (some egos are) and some other parts are not. So those other parts that are not ok with that do not really accept that we have done something or are doing that something which we hide.


Accept it!

So there is some truth to it. As soon as we accept that we have done a particular thing then the need to hide it will diminish considerably.


What we Really Fear

We hide things from others too because we think that they will not accept us or rather they will not believe in or accept the half false image that we are giving them.

What we really fear though is that they will hit the thing in us that we don’t accept and consequently that will hurt us, because we have been working hard to hide it and now we are going to be discovered.

When we accept that we have a defect and they hit on that point we don’t mind because we have accepted it and we are not hiding it and we are giving others the chance to see us really as we are and so love us according to reality, meaning no surprises later on.

We fear that our real self is not good enough, that they will not accept the false image we are portraying to them. When we accept ourselves or our reality and we be that in front of others, we have overcome our fear of hiding and we don’t mind if they don’t like us.


Conclusion

The benefit of that is that we stop performing and the fear and stress of not being accepted goes making us more peaceful, loving, natural and happy. Happy in your own skin!

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).
