People Feel Good Exercising their Body but what About their Consciousness as a Source of Confidence? – (1724)

Introduction

I have heard people many times say that they feel more confident, and generally better when they have been exercising and working to develop their body. This makes sense as exercising the body brings more capabilities to us and improves the health of our body. We may be able to run further and quicker, we may become stronger and more skilled at certain things etc. and it is quite natural to feel a little more confident in these areas. However, to feel dependent upon, or feeling it a need to have the body exercised and in shape indicates that something has been misplaced within us.

Old Age

When the body gets old, its health, strength, control, speed, flexibility and overall general abilities fade. So then when that happens what we use to feel confident and well won’t be yielding in that way. So then may realise that we have made a mistake in deriving confidence from the wrong source.

Work the Consciousness and Derive Confidence from Having the Consciousness more Awake

What makes more sense is to derive confidence from our own consciousness. That is by exercising our own consciousness, working it, cultivating it and using it in our daily life to our advantage.

There is so much advantage to be held by having our consciousness more awake. Many things in our life can be avoided and many things can be solved when we have our consciousness more awake.

Identity in Consciousness

The reason why we make this mistake is because we have a identity taken from the body, or our body forms part of our identity. Which it does but it is not the major part. The consciousness is the major part.

If we derive our identity from our consciousness we are going to naturally work to use our consciousness more and take more pleasure in seeing it being used and developed.

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).
