Envy - (588)

Introduction

We have envy to relate to our progress in all of our endeavours. Envy has a few different functions within our psychology and this is one of them. It is concerned with our progress.

Envy Adapts

Envy adapts to what we value the most. At one stage of our life we may envy those who bring home such and such a salary or have this and that possession, and later on when we enter the spiritual studies we may envy those who have obtained this and that or at this point on the path etc.

Anyway if in the past we have created the ego of envy it will constantly look for things to be envious about. It won’t stop, it will mechanically compare and project the thoughts and feeling so envy. Envy usually acts with ill-will towards others and harbours a negative attitude towards those we envy.

A Solution

We tend to feel envy when we are not doing very well, when we are not progressing or seemingly not progressing. It is most of the time our fault why we are not progressing. Usually envy sees it as the fault of others as to why we are not progressing.

If we take responsibility for why we are not progressing we can change envy around and make it diminish.

Usually also we feel lots of envy when it seems as though others are progressing with some of the help of our efforts and we are not getting anywhere but spending money and using our time to help them. But really their progress is due to their efforts and their own Being. We have little to do with it.

Conclusion

I think the solution is to then get to work, start working seriously on ourselves and take responsibility for our progress or lack of progress and see that the progress of others does not have much really to do with us. Our progress is our job and business and that we have to look at and take care of. When we start taking care of it in a honest and decent way putting in a sincere effort we feel much less envy.

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).
