The Hippie Student Type - (2082)

Some Students

There are some students that come to Gnosis living a style of life where they don’t work (no physical job), live in a communal type of setting, like to travel, dabble in drugs, are into alternative things, like art and dabble in some ‘creative artistic’ kind of projects, dress unconventionally, eat organic high quality food, are free, have no ties, no responsibilities, talk all about the heart and love and conventionally rebel against the conventional.

They are usually quite healthy, intelligent and capable of working, but chose not to work. Well some have some disability of one kind or another but when that is the case they really seem to milk that.

They are also very nice, very relaxed and friendly and it is nice to talk to them and help them. Some have strange nicknames that are exotic and far from their very ordinary conventional Anglo-Saxon name.


They Think they are Free – But Freedom is Earnt

They are quite interested in Gnosis and when they hear about how nature conspires against us to thwart our awakening, how the fascination with life hinders our spiritual progress and how one must choose between life and the path, they naturally think that they are doing quite well being as they are.

However, they are wrong as they are still well invested in their own style of life which is, in the end just ‘life’. As soon as one begins to transform oneself, one enters the vertical, this type of student does not change so easily, just as everyone else does not change they try. 

They are in life indulging other egos, instead of the usual greed, fear and pride they are indulging laziness, selfishness and pride as well, but a different aspect of pride. The pride that they are better and different to everyone else and that those of the conventional should support them or someone should support. They may not want the help of the conventional but that is what always happens the conventional comes in to support them. So where is their freedom, they are perhaps worse than the conventional because the conventional does not draw off of them.

Not a Good House Keeper – If They Don’t Change

We know that the state of being a good house keeper is needed for the path. Which is really the state of a responsible person in all senses. Such hippie, bohemian, artistic types are not responsible in their physical life so how are we going to believe that they are responsible in their psychological and inner life? The physical always cascades down from the esoteric and the psychological.

Always Relying on Others and Always Somebody Pays for Them

One characteristic is that these students are selfish and are very smart in moving others so to get help from others. It inadvertently, even if they don’t it to be that way, they end up receiving continually.

When it comes time to return what they have received they are always lacking.

Imagine a Gnostic centre full of those types. Well the centre would collapse in less than a month.


Not Good Missionary Material if they Don’t Change

Of course, this is true, if they do not change, that is if they do not create an ordered life that is one of voluntarily assumed responsibility and are able to provide for others then they will be a useless missionary.

Even if they are brilliant in the understanding of the knowledge, they will be useless. Anyway, if one is brilliant in the understanding of the knowledge one will know that to be a missionary one needs sacrifice and one pays to be a missionary based on sacrifice, and precisely for the hippie, bohemian type working honestly and being responsible for oneself is part of that sacrifice, and they would rather hang of someone else than do that.

Conclusion

Being someone who does not work, relies on others, lives in disorder, ignores the physical going out of balance thinking that everything is spiritual (the truth is it is a balance) such a student really gets you nowhere in the end.

How is such a student going to be a missionary? The freedom that many missionaries have where their existence is covered by the people that they are helping has been well and truly earnt through many years of constant, tireless service to humanity which sometimes is not at all always pleasant. Much sacrifice has got them there and the hippie, bohemian, artistic student does little in the way of sacrifice, and instead makes all those around them sacrifice things, especially like the money of others.

Even if such a student does not want to be a missionary where is there sacrifice to help humanity and support the Gnostic centre that has given them so much, especially with the sacrifice that they do not wish to give.

End (2082).

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).
