Role or Function of Laziness - (388)

Introduction – A Curious Observation

After some observation it seems that the effect of laziness is to always stop the flow of progress or the continuity of work progressive or not, on a project. Whenever we are working on something that requires the input of continuous effort over several days, weeks, months or even years, laziness is ever present.


Role or Function

The role or function of laziness is as we know, is all about resting, and that is true in any project or continuous work the law or rest and repose is present, so is the law of work or activity. The overall balance in any work is the choice of progress and completion. So the function of the law of rest and repose must not be the dominant one but must be there to complement the law of work. That is rest to replenish forces and ideas so to continue and work more efficiently.

Laziness is really that principle of rest and repose but exaggerated or taken out of the instincts or natural order and put into the mind where it goes out of proportion and becomes anti-progress or stagnation.



Hypnotic Grip

The hypnotic grip of laziness is always to convince us that we are tired and that we need to rest now and that we can work later. Of course when we do we lose the flow of work to be done and our progress gets delayed. Most of the time we are not tired, it only appears that way. If we were to just follow our instinctive centre we would not be lazy, but we follow the mind and we get it wrong.


Laziness Stops Progress

Laziness is against continuous progress. If the creators were lazy we would not have creation as complete as it is today. Nature is quite laborious; just observe how much effort the animals go to survive.

Setting a rest period is necessary, and this is where laziness steps. Laziness being in the mind is one sided and out of proportion and so it gets things wrong and ends up as being an obstacle to our creations and progress.


Laziness Stops Creation and Life

Laziness stops creation! If we were all lazy creation or life would go into a steep decline. Laziness is there to break the continuous flow of work to be done. It is the opposite of the laboriousness needed to work in our creations, projects and spiritual work. It is a destructive ego as well.


Overcome Laziness

The right thing to do is to work and enjoy working and love working but when necessary rest to recover strength, ideas so as to be able to work better. That is the right perspective on work and rest and so laziness becomes redundant, when we follow the instinct centre. When our work efforts become fruitless it is time to rest.


Conclusion

Laziness exists when there is a flow or line of work to be followed and carried out. It will always appear then. The way to step over laziness is to not believe that we need a rest just right now but later on after working. So work first then rest. Resting after working is delicious. Though resting out of laziness is guilt and that which gives you a headache and makes you strangely fatigued.


End (388).

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...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
