Different Personalities of the Same Language - (811)

Introduction

I at one point thought that the personality of an American, of an Australian, of an Englishman, of an Irishman, of a Scotsman, of a Jamaican, of a Canadian and of a person from New Zealand would all be very similar. It is wasn't only after some exposure to some people from the above countries that I realised that even though we spoke the same language our personalities had their marked differences, almost as obvious as our different accents.


Same Language Different Personalities

After some reflection, it certainly does make a lot of sense that everyone that comes from a different country even though they speak the same language, must have a different personality. Just as in the case where people in the same country all have a different personality, sometimes very different and sometimes only slightly different. It all depends on the time and space and the environment in which they developed.


Why Different Personalities

Even though the language does have a large influence on the personality people of the same language have different personalities because they have created that personality in different areas or locations of space. Personality is principally based on time and space. In the example above, the time was similar for all but the space was very different.

Each country has a different history, a different development and a different series of hardships or past events that has shaped the manner and ways of being of the people. The personality that each nation has, certainly has different characteristics and qualities. Personality is a large mixture of many factors such as tradition, culture, religion, history, and even such things as natural resources, geography and natural features of the country. Even climate and weather play a part.

As these features which make up the personality are different for each nation, each nation's people must have different personality traits, tendencies and characteristics.

Australian and American Personality

Just an observation here, the Australian personality for example is more on the side to not giving an large degree of importance to being together with friends and looking out for them. There is a kind of respect that allows friends and people to go their own way, for right or for wrong. The Australian personality certainly does value mates or friends though not too much to the sentimental side of things. Where as, the Americans are very fierce when it comes to friends and co-workers, family etc. which certainly is good, there is certainly a plus side there. The American can be very sentimental when it comes to friends and the fact that one friend is not present in a meeting can be the end of the world or a big disappointment. This is easy to see in some American movies, where heaven and earth are all moved just to save one person.



This is certainly good but can be inconvenient at some point, just like the Australian personality trait, it can be good in giving people freedom but can be at times too individualistic and selfish, and a little uncaring and distant.


Many Personality Differences

If we observe carefully we can see many such differences and they all have a reason for being there. These reasons are physical and psychological and esoteric behind these first two.

In the end though, the human personality has to be dissolved to unite with the Being. Also the human personality that we have is at times a very huge problem or obstacle for the path. Sometimes it can certainly get in the way or interfere with our work on the path! This is something that we don't actually see or understand at times.

End (811).

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
