We Bring Certain Tests upon Ourselves

We Bring Certain Tests upon Ourselves - (293)

Introduction

We actually bring certain tests upon ourselves, this is surprising but true. Our normal idea of the tests is that they come to us unexpectedly, in a moment’s notice without us being aware of them and without us being able to avoid them. That idea is certainly true, I’m sure we have all experienced one or another test small or large in that way. However there are tests or certain situations that become tests all because we prepare them or lay down the circumstances for them to unfold all by ourselves, well not entirely by ourselves there is always the help of others.

The image above depicts the classical trial of the elements.

Foresight is Key

These types of tests can be avoided and diverted as they are developing if we are smart enough and have enough foresight. We actually prepare some of our temptations and difficulties by dabbling and by thinking about such situations and the act of thinking about them tends to bring them to us, even being scared of certain situations actually brings them to us.

Gaining Foresight

Foresight is best gained by looking into the future using cause and effect. If we are aware of the way things currently are, we can then project using the principle of cause and effect the future circumstances that will involve us.

Conclusion

In our thoughts are the seeds of our future circumstances, just think now and then if what we are thinking or hoping were to come true what circumstances would unfold before us or actually around us with us being right in the very middle of them. It is always good to take this into account and use the future as a tool or a motivation to change the present.

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).
