Many Things Annoy Us Right? – (1451)

Many Annoyances

There are many things that annoy us in life. It is very difficult to find someone in life who does not get annoyed at something or the other.


What Annoys Us

Round 1

We may get annoyed with the humid weather, with the flies, with mosquitos, with dogs barking at night, with the cat spewing up inside the house, with computer being slow, with the car not starting, with the traffic lights, with the weeds in the garden, with the wind, with the heat, etc.

In general, we can get certainly annoyed with elements totally outside of ourselves.


Round 2

We may also get annoyed when someone chews with their mouth open, or chews loudly, slurps soup, slurps hot tea, coughs, sneezes, drops things, moves or fidgets a lot, eats non-stop, watches TV a lot, is on the computer a lot, smells bad, has bad manners, talks loudly, goes to the toilet all the time, breaks wind a lot, burps a lot, has bad breath, etc.

In general, we can and do get annoyed at the small details or misgivings of human nature.


Round 3

We may get annoyed when people stare at us, we may also get annoyed with people’s facial expressions, with people pushing-in in front of us, with somebody who doesn’t hear what we are saying, with somebody who doesn’t understand what we are saying, with someone who does not consider us and does not leave anything for us to eat, with someone who lives in a mess, has a stupid look on their face, easily gets nervous, is scared all the time, bites their finger nails, has their hands in their pockets, doesn’t help, repeats themselves, scratches a lot, is slow thinking and moving, procrastinates, hesitates, with people who get annoyed, with people who are angry, with people who are slow to understand, etc.

In general, we can get annoyed with the peculiar psychological characteristics and habits of people.

The stupidity of this guy can be annoying to some.

Conclusion

So basically, we get annoyed one: with things outside of ourselves, two: with the misgivings of human nature and three: with the psychological characteristics of people.

In general, though, all of these things are neutral in nature, they are certainly not voluntarily directed personal attacks, however the way we react to them most of the time is if they were.

Most of what annoys us are really very small in nature and there are really too many things that annoy us. It is worth working on all of them to get rid of them so to live a more peaceful life.

Another reason why we should work on them is because our annoyances produce a very out of proportion reaction. This is because what annoys us is so quickly over and so insignificant, that it shouldn’t even be worth our attention but for some reason we give it way too much importance, which in the end only makes things worse for us, where we waste much time, energy and consciousness.

Observe that it is very difficult to get annoyed at the Being or the Masters or anything spiritual. Mainly because annoyance only lives or exists in matter.

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).
