We Lack Something if We Desire

We Lack Something if We Desire - (2148)

A Lack in Hiding

If you have a desire then looking deep into yourself will reveal the lack. Often what it is that we lack surprises us as to how it translates into that particularly bothering desire. As surprising as it is, that desire is there to compensate that lack.

Key: Find the Lack

The key is to find the lack. An emotional lack of some kind turns into or can turn into desires relating to other centres, such as the instinctive or sexual centres, that when active create emotions that compensate that emotional lack.

For example, a person who is bored, lonely and has been rejected could go to use the instinctive centre to eat or to the sexual centre to create emotions that supplant those lacks of being happy, fulfilled with purpose and accepted, approved of etc. Very standard psychological compensation. Though one would be surprised how we ignore that at times.

The Lack Could be…

The lack could be spirituality related. It could be that we are not giving to ourselves something that we need spiritually and so our psychological machinery finds a way to compensate. But that compensation uses the desire for something that can not fill the original lack.

Then that desire becomes insatiable. It is exactly like filling up our car with something other than petrol. The car's need for petrol will never be fulfilled, but only ever partly and the cycle will continue for the wrong fuel until the car breaks down, from using the wrong fuel.

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...

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...

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...
