Emotion and Sensation - (731)

Relationship Between Sensation and Emotions

There is a strong and intimate relationship between sensation and emotion. Emotion makes all the difference. Emotion turns the sensations into desire and that is where the trouble for us begins.


Desire

When there is desire or some kind of unpleasant feeling in our body such as a pain there is always an interpretation and a mental dimension added onto the sensations being felt. That is where our problem lies.


Mind Interprets

The first thing that our mind does is interpret the sensations as either good or bad. Within our psyche are very strongly embedded meanings to those sensations. Those meanings are tied into emotion. The interpretations mean something and depending on what they mean we will feel something in our emotional centre. What we feel of course will be something in line with the meaning that our psyche or egos give to that interpretation.



What We Can Feel

We usually feel either of two things: dislike or like or accept and reject. So we can end up feeling, either scared, worried, anxious or either on the other hand comfort, pleasure, satisfaction, excitement etc.


When Sensation Don’t Mean Anything

If we work really hard psychologically we can feel the sensations of our body and they can not mean something that then creates a strong emotional response, that is either one of fear or one of lust, selfishness, laziness etc.

If our mind for some reason didn’t have access to that list of meanings, then we would just feel the sensations and that would be it.

If we identify with the sensations, that is we firmly believe in the meanings then one or two or more egos come into play, and their main function is to project pleasure or pleasant emotion or either dread, anxiety and fear.


Summary

In summary what we have to do is to target the meaning or the interpretation of the sensations. We have to question deeply the meaning or interpretation and dismantle and weaken them. Or work on the ego that jumps into manifestation after we have interpreted the sensation.

Dealing with Desire

If after a sensation we feel it ok to get more of what we felt that means that the interpretation turned emotional and desire has emerged and desire is trapped will and the will manifests as emotion and so does desire. In the end it is emotion of the interpretation that drives us and fuels the desire. If we experience a very unpleasant emotion after a sensation we won’t have a desire to repeat the experience. What I am trying to get at here is to say that emotion drives our desires and the emotion comes from the interpretation.

Positive emotion equals desire to obtain and negative emotion equals desire to avoid. Neutral emotion equals no desire to obtain or avoid. We have to empty the contents out of all of our interpretations so to neutralise them.

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).
