Ego Prepares our Human Machine Just Like Others do to Others – (1786)

Many Tricks

The ego has many tricks you know up its sleeves.

There are also many ways to uncover these tricks. All tricks can be found using observation and self-observation.

One way of finding these tricks is to observe how people treat others when they want something. Because there is so much ego in us, watching others treat others is basically watching an ego treating a person. Which is the same situation within us, where we are the person being treated an ego, except that the ego is our own ego.


Trick One

When say, we want to do something out of the ordinary and we know our family won’t like it, we begin to slowly prepare our family, so that when we tell them they won’t get so shocked.

You know our ego does the exact same. It slowly prepares us, it works on us over a few days preparing the ground for its manifestation.


Trick Two

People often work on people over time, slowly bending them to get what they want. Husbands do this, wives do this and children do this. The ego does exactly the same thing. It works in the background breaking down the resistance to its desires from other egos and slowly hypnotising the essence. Then it strikes and we are in trouble.


Trick Three

Persistence pays. When children want something they nag and nag until the point the parent is so sick and tired of hearing the nagging that they give in. The ego too is persistent and it works on us constantly. So much so that we are tempted to give into it just to clear it out of our mind.


Trick Four

When people ant something they use reasons and arguments. They present benefits, they present values, they use morality, they use you name it. They use experimentation, a test drive, a taste, a sip, etc.

The ego does exactly the same within us. It presents us with so many interesting arguments and reasons, it presents us with sensations, emotions, values, it says I can just try it but not do it, I’ll do it once, it won’t be bad etc. etc.


Trick Five

When people want something they use force, blackmail and threats. The ego within us uses the same ways when it wants something. It usually resorts to these means as a last resort when all the other ways fail. This is like the last stand of the ego, it reveals itself, shows us it true colours gives us a huge fight and then retreats it fails. This is its last gamble, because it knows with such a stance it runs the risk of it being discovered for what it really is and then the fight to its death will be on, if we are serious about working on it.

End (1786).

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).
