You are Ready to Die when you Feel Pain from Knowing you are Harming your Being - (553)

Introduction

A person can become really ready to take a big step in the dissolution of an ego due to many factors. One of these factors, of which I am going to mention in this post is when we feel pain deep in ourselves out of the knowledge and understanding that we are in fact harming our Being, our spiritual development and our relationship to the Being and of course if we are harming the relationship with our Being we also harm the relationship between ourselves and others, especially those who are working on themselves.


Conflict Inside

When we fight with the ego we feel the conflict, the division between going with what the ego wants and or going with the work. It may seem that to go with the work is impossible, too hard and dry. We may feel that we can do it but not for long. When we feel like this obviously we are lacking a very strong convincing factor in us that will push the battle in the favour of the work, the path and the Being.


A Convincing Factor is Needed

One of these very convincing factors is always pain, not though mechanical pain but rather the understanding of where the pain comes from and what the results of continuing along this line of behaviour will be.

The awareness or realisation of where that pain is actually coming from. It usually comes from seeing ourselves being stagnated, dropping our level of Being and distancing ourselves from the Being and neglecting the work on ourselves.

The strength of this convincing factor is that we deep down do not want to harm our Being r ourselves really.


Conclusion

It seems absurd that the pleasure of the ego produces pain, but it does and this pain is much longer lasting and deeper than the pleasure of the ego. The pleasure of the ego does not seem worth the pain it provokes and the wide spreading effects that the result of this ego has in us.

The sacrifice of this ego done consciously will reward us plenty, with the real joy of the work and the essence. Joy is beyond pleasure, which the latter comes and goes and in excess becomes pain. Pleasure converts or transforms later into pain.


End (553).

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).
