Pride Stops us from Surrendering to the Being or Spirit

Pride Stops us from Surrendering to the Being or Spirit - (1966)

Look Inside

If there is something that we do not want to let go of to give way to the work or the inner Being or Spirit in us, pride is behind it.

Whether it be resentment, greed, eating (gluttony), laziness, a grudge, a certain fear, an avoidance, lust of one kind or another… pride is behind it.

Pride wishes us to stand apart with our desire, vice, problem etc. and not surrender to the Being or Spirit within us. The simple act of just standing separate is pride. The fact of believing more in the desire, vice or problem than the Being or Spirit is pride.

To believe more in something that is not of what is essentially us is pride. To believe in the more, the less, the extra, the additional, the diversion instead of what is essentially us is a separation and that separation is always pride.

Pride always separates us in relativity, it always separates those into the more and those into the less. However, in our case this separation occurs within us.

Remedy to the Inner Separation Caused by Pride

This inner separation can be remedied by reversing the relativity and duality imposed by pride. When we believe more in the inner Being or Spirit we merge we then surrender. If we believe that the Being or Spirt is more the solution, is more contentment, more happiness, more fulfilling then the separation by pride closes.

To do this we have to work on it and practice it and reaffirm it and comprehend it deeply. Educate our free essence that the Being is better, best and the real.

End (1966).

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...
