Desire, Will, Mind, Simplify and Frazzle Free - (504)

Desire is Will

Basically desire comes from the causal world and filters through the mind and into our emotions and then into our actions. Desires are felt as more emotion than anything else, however before they were in the emotion they were in the mind.


Mind and Desire

Desires are trapped will, and what does the trapping is the mind. The mind also receives the desires or the will and either directs it into the mind’s own conditionings and patterns or diverts it or weakens it. The mind can accelerate the fulfilment of a desire or delay it. Usually what the mind does when there is a will to work on our self or to do something that the body or the senses don’t like, is to delay the idea.


Too Many Desires Frazzles

When we have many initiatives or desires they all collect in our mind and our mind as the organiser of desire becomes very frazzled on how to fulfil all of them. We can easily fall into a state of hesitation, excessive planning and overall frazzling, where we just get overwhelmed and end looking blank out the window for hours or just going around and around achieving nothing.


Simplify by Eliminating or Amalgamating

The best two ways to deal with frazzling due to having too many desires is to write down all of our desires and then really consult very honestly with ourselves if fulfilling this or that desire is convenient, useful and necessary for us. Most of the desires are not, so then and there we can just eliminate them or cross them off the list. Then we must go with conscious investigation into what is behind this desire and then with understanding and prayer to our Divine Mother come to dissolve this desire.

There is another way which is to amalgamate all these desires into one common desire, and the best desire is the desire for freedom, freedom from the mind and the ego. This desire can burn or consume all the other ones.



Conclusion

When we reduce the number of desires our mind will remain quiet or quieter than before. Also then when there is a will to work on our self or there is a desire to practice astral unfolding or something esoteric the mind will not be able to weaken it as much as before, and it won't delay this will or desire by putting it into a list of other desires to be fulfilled etc. etc. that we never get around to fulfilling.

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).
