Work In Series or Work in Parallel – (499)

Always Wondered which is Best

I have always wondered which is the best way to do things in life and in the esoteric and psychological work. Here is what I have found so far.


Many of the Same

From working at factory packing boxes with a variety of different items, I found by trial and error that the best way for me and also the guy who taught me was to not to complete one box and then the next and then the next but to lay out all the boxes and then put 2 brackets for example in each box then four screws in each box, then four nuts in box, then one console in each box, then one user manual in each box and so on, until each box was complete then close each box and tape them all up one at a time. This way worked out to be the quickest and the most enjoyable and less tiring actually.

We can work the ego this way too, it is crazy to just work on one ego until it is dead and forget the others, because the others can get very active, distract us and even cause us to make some big mistakes. So we can work on one ego decently then do the same practice on another ego and so on. There are times though that we just have to use will power to control the other egos and work very hard on one because it is making our life a living hell and also putting our path in danger.


Many Different

When at work we may have many different tasks to do. I have found the best way to go about that is to work in series, that is work one at a time. The trick though is to write a list of priorities. I often do the small and easy ones first then tackle the harder and longer tasks next.

Concentrating and focussing on one task at a time is very good, it gives us continuity, keeps one thing in our centres and makes life simpler. When we work on many things at once, that is work on something then switch, then switch back, you soon get the lost feeling or the tired and dispersed feeling. This is because our attention and energies are being dispersed among too many different tasks. We often at the end of the day we can’t remember what we have really done.

We can work on the ego this way as well.


Conclusion

Perhaps if you are wondering also which the best way to work at things, then maybe try these suggestions out and see how you go. I think it is really worth while finding out which way to do things is best for us, because it will help us to make progress and save us a lot of time.

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).
