C’mon Use Your Essence! - (1177)

When Questioning the Ego

When we question the ego, we can use our mind or our essence. The better one to use is our essence.
Say you observe a statement coming from your egos of lust and vanity that says “I have to make the body look good to impress the opposite sex and others”.

We may question this with our mind and ask is this statement really true? At the start our mind may say of course it is true, we have a body to impress others. We may get a shock and then make an effort to think deeper, wider and with the esoteric truths or teachings and we may think the following: “No that is not really true we have the body to manifest our Being, to be in creation to learn and to work the self-realisation of our Being.”.

That is quite good, though do you really know that this what the body is for. It is better than ego’s purpose for the body, that is for sure but do you know that really in your essence. If we do, then those two egos are finished.

The blue genie of Aladdin's lamp is the Essene unbottled from the ego.

Question with Essence

There is another way to question and it is to use our essence. An example of that would to be go deep inside of oneself and be within oneself far away from the mind and ask ourselves do I know that this statement (whatever it is) is true within myself and by myself, do I honestly know that it is true or not. Forget what I suppose or infer or deduce or reason or prefer but what I know in my essence.

This is so simple and natural that we often don’t do it, we think it is too simple and we resort to using the mind thinking that to think with the teachings is better and more sophisticated. Though the danger of doing this is that we veer away from what we really know and only come to conclusions with the mind about we know of the teachings with our mind.

Obviously though we ask our essence this question and answer this question about the body with the essence we are going to come to the conclusion to receive the answer that will be either “I don’t know really” or “no it is not for that”.


Conclusion

If we tackle the statement of the egos with our essence a definite change is produced. That change is that we don’t believe in the geo or in its statements or logic.

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).
