Two Fields of Work: Psychological and Spiritual – (1878)

Two Fields

In the field of the work on ourselves there are two fields. They are the fields of psychology and spirituality.

Dependent – Must Advance Side by Side

They are very well related.

They must be worked on together and advance side by side. Just like ‘being’ and ‘knowing’.

If we ignore one over the other we become unbalanced and run into difficulty.

Very similar to the case of the ‘stupid saint’ who has developed ‘being’ more than ‘knowing’ and the rascal who has developed ‘knowing’ more than ‘being’.

We must not ignore one of them.

Of course, one, given certain circumstances, personal needs or stages of life maybe more helpful than the other, i.e. the psychological may help more than the spiritual and vice versa.



How They Relate

One comes from the other and one supports the other. They feed back off each other. A mutual nourishing reciprocal relationships exists between them. This relationship is inherent and must be known, respected and cultivated.

From the Spiritual Comes the Psychological

Our essence is the space of our psychology. Take away our essence, take away our psychology.

Our essence is something spiritual and psychological at the same time.

Because we have a Spirit (Being) we have an essence. Our essence unfolds from our inner Being. Working upon our essence or psychology is the same to work upon our Being or Spirit. This is because our Being is in our essence.

The Spiritual Gives Meaning to the Psychological

The spiritual is the aim of the psychological. The spiritual transforms the psychological into the ontological.

Without the spiritual the psychological would reach a ceiling. A natural limit.

The dissolution of the ego is impossible without spiritual help, that is the help of the Divine Mother.

Without spiritual motivations and knowledge, the complete dissolution of lust is not possible. One must know about transmutation and sublimation. A person who does not transmute but works on lust psychological will undo much of the good work that they accomplish with their psychological work on lust.

The Psychological Enhances and Leads to the Spiritual

With the psychological one frees more of the psyche and one awakens psychologically. Making one ready to awaken esoterically or spiritually.

With more of our psyche free the spirit in us can guide and manifest in us and through us. This is because the essence is also the space of the Being in us and in the free essence are the values of our Being and the sentiment of the Being.

The Psychological Links the Spiritual to the Physical

The psychological maintains the spiritual and makes the Spiritual real. What is understood and captured in the spiritual, the psychological makes that real here in the world of three dimensions.

The psychological makes one face in the person. That is it unifies the spiritual and the physical. Eradicating the problem of a person who has much spiritual experiences and visions but yet is very egoic here in the world of three dimensions.


Where the Psychological Can’t Help the Spiritual Can

When events, people and circumstances and even aspects of ourselves escape our hands and move into God’s hands. The psychological helps us to see that we must surrender and accept this but nothing more.

The spiritual helps us much more in such situations. With the spiritual one can know, understand and even ask for help from high above to improve the situation or at least know about it. Everything unfolds downwards from the spiritual, so the spiritual is to connect to causes.

Example
For example, when one is sick, and one is not a doctor, one can not do anything. One can work psychotically not to feel fear, or feel angry or frustrated but to actually help. One needs the spiritual work and knowledge.

Through the spiritual work one knows abbot the masters of the Medicine and knows how to pray and can ask for help.

End (1878).

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).
