Listening is a Powerful Spiritual Practice

Listening is a Powerful Spiritual Practice – (1448)

Regular and Powerful

Listening is a powerful spiritual practice, that we can participate in at any moment during the day and night. Listening to others and listening to ourselves.

Usually we get annoyed having to listen, because we don’t have time and people ‘beat around the bush’ and talk a ‘load of non-sense’ sometimes.

To Listen…

To listen activating our essence, putting behind us moment by moment impulses of impatience, thoughts of anger making us feel we are being unfairly inconvenienced, pride that judges, and just listen with an open mind, then an open heart will follow.

Something special happens with an open heart, differences disappear and a kind of joining or going into the other person occurs, and then we perceive what that person is all about in that moment, what they need and what they may be upset about.

If Non-Sense…

If they speak non-sense a look with our essence can dissipate that by making their own essence more active.

To Ourselves…

The exact same principles apply to ourselves. If we can do the same to ourselves very interesting insights and mini-revelations result, and that is what we are talking about!

To Conclude…

Listening is such a common thing, that can for our own, and the benefit of others, converted into a spiritual practice, which can be practiced many times during the day. Allowing us many opportunities to get really good at it and become much more conscious and present.

End (1448).

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).
