Convert Envy into Recognition and Appreciation - (1998)

Envy Transformed

When we transform envy this is what we get happening inside of ourselves: recognition and appreciation.

When we transform envy we are left feeling happy and in harmony which is infinitely many times better than feeling envious.

When we transform envy we recognise the achievements and values of the person and we appreciate them and there is not that feeling of “missing out”, “being an outsider”, “having lost out”, “having failed” etc.

We also come to recognise our place, which in reality is that we have not achieved what they have achieved but that loss is not felt, a happiness for the person takes the place of that ‘feeling of unfair or loss or protest etc.”.


Recognition

We have not achieved what they have, we are not intrinsically less or more, though we can if we want too and they can help us. Our potential is there, we have to fight for it just as they did.

Recognition puts us in reality. When we don’t see this reality, that is our real place we do and say silly and embarrassing things.

Recognition is so important here! It is a life saver. Use it! It saves us from much suffering.

Appreciation

From appreciation comes happiness for the other person! That is so beautiful and because that unites us with them and not separates us from them with the ill-will and hatred of envy.

With that envy you partake in someway with what they have achieved. How beautiful is that right?

End (1998).

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).
