"Got to Have" Element - A Common Denominator in Lust and Greed

"Got to Have" Element - A Common Denominator in Lust and Greed - (1620)

Introduction

There is an element in our psychology that is about "having".

It so turns out that this element is not particular to one particular ego, it is actually common to several or more different egos.

This element actually links these different egos.

This is good news becasue if we work on the "Got to have" element we can weaken several egos all at once.

"Got to Have"

Lust is a lot about possessing and so is greed, as is gluttony.

When this "got to have" element is strong in us we end up continually buying multiple versions of the same object. Like buying one watch, then another and another and yet another.

Greed, lust and gluttony work incessantly in this way they always want one then a new one, then another one etc. etc. All because the ego receives a new impression and then gets impressed and says "I got to have it".

"Don't Have to Have".

In reality we don't have to have. The more we have the more complicated, and impractical it all becomes and the more problems we end up facing, and the truth becomes very obvious, we don;t need it and we don't have to have it. Thinking and feeling that way actually harms us.

Understanding this point very deeply and working on it will help reduce and dissolve this "got to have" element.

The "Got to Have" Element Draws A Cycling of Egos

Because the "got to have" element runs through several different egos, it is behind a cycle that we can observe in our psychology. For example, lust may manifest and when it declines greed appears then then gluttony and perhaps another ego.

If we are successful in not feeding lust, because of this, lust then retreats from the forefront of our psychology and the next ego with a strong 'got to have' element running through it will become active in order to bring something new "to have".

Behind the "Got to Have" Element

Behind the "got to have element" there is a reason why it is there in our psychology. The "got to have" element is processed in our psychology as a need. This need could be processed as relative to our image, and when something deals directly with our image there is some suffering.

These false needs, can be seen as something that completes us and makes us feel that we have accomplished something, and accomplishing that one thing allows us to feel good things towards ourselves.

End (1620).

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...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
