Thinking of Buying a House? – (1788)

Introduction

This is a thought that has probably crossed the minds of many Gnostic missionaries. I think it is worth having an examined look at this, beyond the many concepts that we may have.


Owning a House

Many Gnostic missionaries do not own a house and there are some that do.

Without exception everything has a good side and bad side. There is a good side to owning a house and a bad side. The good side is no more rent inspections, no more contract end dates, no more having to move when the owner sells the property. The bad side is a mortgage, the repair work, being stationed in a particular city, all the associated expenses etc.

One side may outweigh the other, and this is the reason why many missionaries do not own a house. Because the time and energy to see a mortgage through to the end and that of being stationed in a city is too big a hindrance to the life of a missionary, who wants to dedicate the majority of his or her energies and time to his/her work.

Imagine though a missionary inherits a house then they don’t have to work towards paying off a mortgage. Imagine a missionary is very rich and can buy a house outright, easy. The main problem in buying a house is the work needed to acquire it. If that work stops your progress, then I ask it is really worth it when the goal of your life is to reach the self-realisation of your Being?

Imagine it is easy to buy and sell a house so then one can travel as one pleases. It all depends on the state of affairs where one thinks to buy a house.

An investment house which can be a source of income which can be useful for one’s mission, meaning a person can work less and have more time for their esoteric. It all depends. An investment house may work well, or can be an unnecessary burden.


To Have a House Does not Imply a Person Won’t Be Successful in His/Her Spiritual Work

To have a house is not a crime and it does not affect the quality of one’s work unless one is overly attached to it and has made it a major identity base or a kind of psychological base for one’s happiness, security, confidence, certainty in life etc. when the consciousness in us is the supplier of all these things and more.


Conclusion

It is all totally relative, it all depends on the circumstances. Basically, it comes down to this: if it is a hindrance that outweighs its benefits, if it will delay your work and path, if it will slow down your work, if it will lead to many unfavourable circumstances in the future – then it is no good. Think twice about that! But if doesn't do any of things really, then it is fine isn't it. Having a house is not a ticket to the abyss, not dissolving the ego is a ticket down there.

One just has to weigh their circumstances, possibilities and capacities and choose outside of imitation, what is frowned upon or looked favourably upon and beyond family pressures.

End (1788).

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).
