Ego of Video Games – (492)

Introduction – Video Games as an Escape from Troubles

Playing video games can be used as a way to take the focus off the hurtful feelings and thoughts that swirl around inside of us when there are troubles in our lives. Many people have this sort of thing, it could be drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, smoking, driving fast, walking, holidaying etc. etc. though what they all have in common is that they are used by us or our psychology as a way to escape or a way to bring happiness, or a way to bring pleasant feelings and thoughts or even a way to regain control (because we can't control the hurt inside etc. so we look to a place that we can control). Because we know while we are doing those things we are far away from the troubles and we feel fine.


A Solution

Anyway the way to deal with these things is to solve the problem or the issue. Many times we can't solve the issue, just like that so then we have to provide a balm to the pain in us that our thoughts and feelings are producing. This is the best solution. Doing this we won't need to self-medicate with those things. Anyhow playing video games doesn't harm anyone, drugs and alcohol are much more destructive, though video games can drain a lot of intellectual energy and make the consciousness very much more asleep and slowly introduce us to living in the fantasy world of video games. See below.


A Key – Focus on your Consciousness

The key is to put the focus on our consciousness because it is like the video game, when we are focussed on the video game we forget, so when we are focussed on our consciousness we forget the as well and with the consciousness the thoughts and feelings can be understood and a solution can be got at. Doing it is hard at first and is for sure more painful than walking or video games, but very much more worth it. Because we develop consciousness that we can use in any area to solve problems and we gain more dominion over our mind.


Question the Painful Thoughts

The thing to do is, using our consciousness or common sense or objective as we can make it - reason, is to question our thoughts. To question what we are believing about the thoughts. When we fight with a reality we hurt. The thoughts may not be about accepting a certain reality and the thoughts could be untrue and when we question them to see if they are true and we discover with our common sense and consciousness that they are not true, then things in us change. We have to question ourselves on many different and deeper levels. The thoughts make the emotions, so the best place to start is with the thoughts. Even write your thoughts down to help you question them.


Conclusion and a Mantra to Help

For a mantra though, the thoughts that hurt us a lot are about there not being love or kindness for us, so the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is wonderful because that sends the love of our Being to us and at the same time we send it to Him which is really ourselves. So we give ourselves what we are wanting to get from others, which by the way is too hard to always get. We can only really solve those things of a lack of love or ill-will towards us but giving what we want to ourselves.

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).
