The Reference Point is Loose – (1462)

Why?

Who says we have to have a particular reference point? In reality we all have our various particular weird and wonderful reference points, but reference points none the less, and in the end they are not so different they either bring pain or they don’t.



Another important thing to note, and this is the idea behind this post, is that we can really chose any reference point that we like.

So then, if we can choose our reference point the wisest thing to do would be to choose a reference point that does not bring us suffering and helps us to awaken.

I say the above because depending on the reference point we choose; we can have heaven or hell.

That's who we become when we realise we can choose the reference point:
The one who pours the water.


Make a Wise Choice

The wisest thing to do is to of course choose the right reference point.

The way we know we have chosen the right reference point is because the right reference point brings us freedom, balance, peace etc. If the choice of reference point brings pain, constriction, regret, lament, failure, resentment we have got it wrong and the good news is we then know that the right reference point is the opposite. So then we can change it consciously and voluntarily - no problems.

Three different reference points three different statements. Chose yours or
chose none and float it: "it is what it is".

Hypnotic Grip

The problem is that the ego makes us to think that the reference point must be in a particular spot. It does not even allow us to know that there is as reference point. Furthermore, the ego does not like and resists us changing our reference point. But we don't have to think that the reference point is fixed, it is actually loose and moveable. We can choose it and so let’s choose it at will. To be more awakened is to have the capacity to choose.

Don't take the past as a reference point. The ‘moment’ is a better reference point. Don't have closeness, or past closeness as a reference point. Don’t have control as a reference point, that is if I can control the event, something or someone is good or I love that person or thing etc.

End (1462).

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).
