Self-Importance makes us Sick in the Head - (949)

Sorry

Sorry about being so rude, I am only writing from experience. I am not targeting anybody (in the whole post) I’m just posting something I have experienced with this ego.


When it Grows

Self-importance when it grows just like every other ego it becomes quite harmful to us and others, and one place that it harms more than any other place is our mental health. Lust for example affects more than anything else our mental and sexual health, and anger - the health of our heart, fear - the health of our stomach and nerves, and so on and so on.

When this ego becomes very big we start to suffer like crazy and think that whatever is said positive or negative is about us or for us, when of course it isn’t.

We think that when a lecturer is talking he or she is talking about us or for us. We, for example see a bus with a message on it or a number on it and we think that it is a special symbol or message for us and we think that people should be taking care of us, thinking of us and doing things for us all the time.


Does not See the Unbalance

With this stupid ego, it is stupid because it does not see that it is unbalanced and the unbalance is the source of its pain, it just wants to receive and receive and this makes it fatter and uglier and increases its sufferings, because it goes against the fundamental law of nature.


Desire to be Important to People

There is that desire in self-importance of wanting to be important to people and that is often an illusion. But we suffer like crazy when we are not taken into account by others. That has to be inverted to what is realer or truer and it is that the Being (which is higher part of ourselves) must be the most important thing to us and not us being the most important to others because we can not be and never will be. We must have the Being ever present in us just as we want others to have us always present.

The secret why we expect this of others is because we do it for or with others and that is the way that we think that we love them and it may be so though others love in different ways and we are projecting our way of loving onto them, which may not be correct. It isn’t correct because it hurts doesn’t it.

End (949).

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).
