When it Just Gets Too Hard!

When it Just Gets Too Hard! - (562)

Introduction

There are times in life and especially more so in the work on ourselves where it just seems all too hard. And because it seems to hard the last thing we want to do is try and move forward. But we know we have to! The decisive factor is how we chose to move forward.

In this post I am going to put forward a suggestion. This technique has certainly worked for me, and it may work for you or it may not, though it may be just good to keep up your sleeve to help out a friend or student who is passing through such a stage.

The Remedy

The remedy or technique consists of two steps. The first step is to make a plan. But not just any plan, the next section describes in more detail how the plan should be made.

Plan

The plan must have a firm and clear goal and the way to get to that goal must be made by taking small steps. Very small steps at first and bigger steps later on when one’s confidence and energy has grown.

Baby Steps

The step consists of taking the baby steps. The baby steps have to be designed realistically and made very easy to start. We have to be able to make them. As soon as we take the first step and we succeed, our confidence will grow, and so will our energy. The very important part here is to take a baby step everyday. Keeping your resolution to get to your goal is akin to this consistency.

If a step seems to hard, then break it down into smaller steps and go from there.

Conclusion

Breaking things down into steps that in your current state you can do is the key. Even if these steps are son ridiculously small, that does not matter because if you keep taking them you will get there. A wise man from China, I forget who now, said something to the effect of walk slowly but do not stop.

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).
