Coffee Ego! – (1723)

Introduction

Where I work, the receptionist is charge of cleaning both coffee machines. These machines are quite elaborate and to clean them is bit of an involved procedure. One really has to learn the procedure and have access to the right coffee machine manufacturer supplied cleaning products (cleaning solution and cleaning tablets).

The receptionist taught me the procedure and gave me the cleaning products for me to clean the machines while she is way for a week. So this morning I had to clean the machines, because they are cleaned on Monday and Thursday mornings.

Except that this morning, Monday morning, I just plain forgot.

Angry Coffee Egos

The coffee machines when they have not been cleaned on time are set to stop working and so very soon there were a lot of angry, frustrated, annoyed and complaining people around the office. When I realised this and remembered and went to clean the machines I got some pretty vicious looks.

I began to complain internally a little bit saying to myself: “Wow these people are weak, no coffee makes them really annoyed.”. Then I began to try and understand the situation: “Well what do I expect they have the egos of annoyance and the ego of drinking coffee!”. People have the desire to drink coffee to compensate their lack of sleep and to remove the cloudy feeling in their head and obviously when there is a delay in being able to compensate that desire they believe that the person behind the delay is the one harming them.

Gnostic People Have these “I’s” Too

To be honest many Gnostic people have these coffee “I’s” as well. In reality compared to the other “I’s” that we have, the coffee “I” is not bad at all, and many times the coffee “I” or “I’s” make coffee for everyone else as well which is good isn’t it?

Conclusion

I would be aware of having this “I”. I am aware of it in me now after this morning’s experience. If you feel like you need a coffee and that you are not quite right without it and if you feel annoyed and a little angry without one, then you have this “I”.

If it is an “I” it has some of our essence and consciousness in it! What do you want? To be angry and annoyed and dependent or free and empowered with a little more will to command your own physiology?

End (1723).

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...

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...

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...
