A Word to Death - (1922)

Death you are depicted as only only bones. Maybe because that is what we are reduced to as you pass us by, or maybe because you leave it for each one of us to dress you and see you as they will.

You are a presence, a force, that few we are told can reckon with. It is said that the Being in us can reckon with you. We have been taught that if in life we held our consciousness awake, in death it shall also hold awake.

You and life are entwined, are twins, dependent upon one another and as you are the last act of our life, the summon of our life, as our consciousness didn’t sleep in life, so you too will will allow it to stay awake.

You rule a person's life, you set a person's destiny. You set the foot prints upon which a person's life follows. You can change a person's destiny, you can change a person's life. You are a formidable power. If only men and women would know this. If only they would remember you and live by you they could be helped by you and in the supreme moment of their life reap the rewards that comes from your scythe.



Now I understand the why of the scythe. Death reaps for the person what a person has done in life.

You are not maleficent, you are not terrible, you have a grim face but a good heart.You are a principle of the Absolute, you fulfil a necessary cosmic function. Without you life would falter.

You are an agent of the real, a just operator, you vanquish all vanities and bring us all to be equal. 

You reward those who remember you in life and who sought your guidance. 

May I be able to live from now on seeing you as a cosmic force, as wisdom, as freedom and as the entrance to the real.

May this be with full and whole heart that I meet you this life with much to be reaped by your scythe, nothing to regret and all to look ahead to!

End (1922).

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...

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...
