Notes on Fear - (537)

Introduction

These are some notes taken during a class, so they are not my observation and understanding but my missionary’s.


Indication

It is important while working on fear to keep ourselves away from people, activities, events, movies, articles, conversations etc. generate impressions that cause or provoke fear.

General

Fear is the ego of 'countless possibilities'. It is also the ego of 'but' and 'if'.

It is the ego of finding a thousand seasons not to do what we are scared of. We need to find a ay to confront each and every one of those excuses.

We must avoid the impressions that keep alive all the excuses and reasons of fear.

We have to know the impressions that affect our fear. We have to know the thoughts and especially the type of fantasies that affect our fear.


Confronting the Impressions of Fear

We have to end up either confronting those impressions, or either wisely avoiding those impressions. Not avoid them with fear.

The way to confront those impressions is to put the consciousness there in front of those impressions. We have to see the things we should avoid. 

When we know that what we are experiencing is fear, 50% of the battle is over. We can usually end up blaming the external environment when we don't know that what we are experiencing is due to fear.

The ego of fear creates physical and psychological impressions and symptoms. We can avoid conversations that are negative and provoke fear.


Inside Fear

Every ego is a firm belief. This firmness of belief makes any ego strong and persistent. So to counteract this strong belief we need a just as strong a belief in the values of the consciousness or the Being.

The belief of the ego always has a reference point and that reference point is usually facts. Though the belief in the opposite of fear also has facts as well and usually what we fear is the minor probability.


Trust the Antidote to Fear

What do we base trust on? Or how do we cultivate trust?

Trust is based on the fact or the certainty that fear can be dissolved, and whatever we think and feel can certainly be changed.

The last instalments of working on fear are dealing with the consequences. Sometimes we will lose everything whether we plan to or not. That is where acceptance is needed,

The greatest fear of the human being is fear itself. Another very strong fear is also the fear of death!
Fear sustains itself in Pride. Fear also destroys hope. Responsibility, acceptance and hope are the antidotes to fear.

Fear does not accept responsibility. When we take responsibility for fear and everything for that matter, our thoughts and feelings towards fear and what we are scared of change.

The problem with fear is that it thinks that the situation we are scared of will go on forever.

Fear is death or obstruction. We are scared of failure because we don't see through aspect of restarting.

We only fear the consequences! Not the thing, person or event.


Conclusion

Fear is essentially an intellectual ego, but with very powerful cascading effects on our emotional, motor and instinctive centres. We really have to work fear in our mind first of all.

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).
