We Take Things as Absolute but they are Really Relative – (1302)

Introduction

This is something that we do all the time and it is actually quite a costly mistake of our own mind.
That is why the question: “Is it absolutely true?” is so useful. When we feel affected we must straight off the bat ask ourselves this question.


As Absolute

When we take something as absolute there is no escape or no other option. When we take something as absolute truth much suffering results and even drastic action can be taken.

Many have committed suicide because they took a relationship break up or defeat or criticism as something absolute. When we take rejection as absolute we suffer tremendously.


When something is taken as absolute we actually become that in the deep levels of our mind. That then pervades our won system and then when we see we are that thing we have no other recourse. It is the end of the world.

When we take something as absolute we make a big mistake because only the Being in us can occupy that place of Absolute. The Being is all of us, to the very last atoms in our last cell. No identity imposed upon us by our own mind from the impressions of others can replace the Being or substitute the real living Being in us can it?


As Relative

We get absolute and relative all mixed up inside of us. When are seeing ourselves relative to others we tend to take their reactions towards us as something absolute and because of that, the ego’s reactions are very intense.

When we receive criticism we must see that there are others who disagree with that criticism and there are others who agree. It is all relative. What they say is all relative to their likes and dislikes. So all criticism is only relative right.

When we understand that something is relative there is freedom to move and freedom to overcome the difficulty.


Conclusion

That is the big reason why we feel that we need something, because we take it as an absolute value. That is also why we resist undoing the conditioning of duality and relativity because we see as absolute what is relative. We believe in our subconscious that we that what is relative is actually absolute. For example, the opinions of others can make us do crazy things but after all they are relative. Relative because not everyone will have the same opinion and relative because we generate our feelings of well or ill-being relative to their opinions which is a huge mistake because the right place from where we should generate our feelings of well-being from are from within ourselves. Otherwise we will always be slaves. To generate from within is always freedom and autonomy.

End (1302).

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).
