Scepticism - (1409)

Scepticism and Mythomania: Opposites

There on one side is scepticism and defeatism and then on the other side is mythomania. If we bring the two together we get realism.

At the Base of Scepticism

We can’t be sceptical about something that we didn’t know before. Right here is the earth shaking truth that can shake a sceptic out of his or her scepticism.

Scepticism is something of a subconscious force or rejection that directs the mind into finding reasons why something cannot be. This force uses the mind to not find any valid reason to believe to accept. If it were not for this subconscious force of scepticism the mind would rest in its calm honest conclusion of “I don’t know, could be, I just don’t know, Maybe I need to investigate and find out really truthfully.”. Whereas the sceptical person just plainly rejects the possibility.

Scepticism and Past Pain or Disappointment

The subconscious force of behind scepticism comes from some previous painful history.

We become sceptical about something that caused us pain, disillusionment and disappointment before.

Scepticism is due to a past failure or a past painful disappointment.

Believing and Scepticism

The aim of the esoteric schools is to make its students non-believers but knowers instead. The esoteric schools wish to make us to know about God directly. God is not about believing. This point alone is sufficient to break the foundation of scepticism.

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
