Our Life Experiences Well Meditated On - (1958)

Too Many Times

Too many times we pass through various life experiences, some difficult and unpleasant, some pleasant, some where we got it wrong, some where we got it right and so on... and because we don't meditate deeply on these life experiences we don't fix the learning of each life experience into our consciousness. 

Because we don't fix the learning of each life experience into our consciousness we repeat these life experiences, make the same mistakes etc. But what is worse we don't extract from them the knowledge necessary to help ourselves in the dissolution of the ego. The ego stays alive all the same, when we could have given it a good hit instead, thus helping ourselves. 

The karma and recurrence remain active and profound knowledge that when understand has the potential to free us from these recurrences lies there in waiting inside the and behind those life experiences.


To Meditate

To meditate deeply on these life experiences, is to investigate why they happened, why this and that person was involved, to understand the attitudes we had, the thoughts we had, the emotions, the actions we followed through with, the decisions we made, to see the small details, etc.

Master Samael said that he would take into his meditations the small details of his life's daily events. Because I guess that hidden behind the small details very profound truths to do with his life.

The knowledge, wisdom and understanding that we may so desperately want or require lies there latent inside the small details or our life experiences. We have to get this knowledge and understanding from our life experiences so that we don't have to go through them again, so that we can break the cycle, so that we can progress, so that we can dissolve the ego we are working on and so that we can avoid incurring in more karmic debt and complication.

End (1958).

    I have trouble coming to any conclusion when I reflect on the events of the day. I will reflect on what happened, what it means, what will become of it, and what my intentions were both deliberately and subconsciously. But the mind seems to only offer me suggestions. "it could be this, or that, or the other" I never really KNOW what's going on, only a suspicion about what is probably the case based on what I've been told about the ego.
    I can go through a long string of reasoning "oh, I ate that chocolate bar because of gluttony, but it was actually an emotional thing, I wanted to compensate for being emotionally exhausted today, which is more comfort and self consideration which may be a pride thing..."
    But I still don't know what actual understanding I can obtain from doing this.
    How can I improve my practise and extract certainty and comprehension from this exercise?

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...
