Beware the Good Egos - (751)

Introduction

The good egos are really something to be aware of, they certainly don’t appear in manifestation as ugly as the bad egos and they may not do as much harm as the bad egos, but we really need to be aware of them as they can get us into regretful and problematic situations principally with people that are difficult to get out of and are painful for all involved.


Difficult to See and Work On

Furthermore, the good egos if one has tried to work them, one will discover, that they are quite difficult to let go off and are difficult to see and recognise. One finds great resistance in stopping them because we see them as good and that we don’t want to be mean. But we have always to consider balance and balance is always the best solution and gives the most painless outcome for all involved in the short and long term future.


Good and Bad “I’s”

There are as you may know quite well, either from your own experience or from the study of Gnosis, that there are two types of egos. One type which are the bad or negative "I's" and then there are the good or positive "I's”. Of course it is the bad “I’s” that are the most dangerous for our esoteric path and can cause more harm to others, though at times it is worth while working on or at least evaluating our work in relation to the good “I’s”.


Problem with the Good “I’s”

The problem with the good "I’s" is that they, do not as Master Samael says, "know how to do the good". They are basically good intentions, and are limited to see or understand only one side, the good side. This is precisely where they then become unbalanced, because they are not the consciousness and they do not see the negative or bad side and so they exaggerate things and do too much good and that creates problems. Anything in excess even though it be marvellous, can create an imbalance and that imbalance creates problems.

The good egos are conditioned or bottled in the good and if we act with the good and go too much with the good or put the good in the wrong place we can do some harm. For example, giving lots of money to a very lazy person, would be prejudicial for that person because it would make them lazy, even more than what they originally were.


Good “I’s” Spoil and Pamper with Negative Results

So many problems with parents, children, teachers and students have been created because of these good “I’s”.


The good egos spoil and pamper people and create monsters in the people that they spoil and pamper. This in turn makes those that they pamper inept at doing themselves for themselves and it makes them devoid of responsibility and stunts their growth, and because of these negative outcome, all the dharma that one could get by giving to others is not earnt, because the end result is negative. A big waste of time and money ends up happening!


Summary – Good “I’s” Break the Balance

So in summary, we have the good egos, and because they are not conscious, they break the balance with the good. They do not see balance and the consequences of the excessive good. They usually break the balance by exaggerating the good, doing too much good, that is, by giving too much. These egos do not know how to do the good and they end up making things worse.

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).
