A Remedy for when we Can't Hold Self-Remembering

A Remedy for when we Can't Hold Self-Remembering - (2220)

Most of the Time It is Really Difficult

There are certainly times when our daily practice of being in the moment, self-remembering, state of alert novelty, state of self-observation or just the simple act of concentrating on what we are doing is really very difficult and we can only manage it for a few seconds.

This decrease in capacity really surprises us and makes us to feel a bit lost as to what is going on. One day we were doing well and then the next it is the opposite. However, as it is said there are remedies and remedies and there is a reason for why this is like that.

Main Reason - Will Lost Focus

Obviously being in the moment, self-remembering etc. is a conscious and voluntary task and relies heavily on our own will.

The trick with will power is that we only have a little bit of it and the only way that it is effective when we only have a little bit of it, is by focusing it. As soon as we lose the focus of our will things fall apart.

So we have to guard the focus of our will and not allow too many 'desires' or 'wants' to enter us and use our will.

The key here is to stop and regain our 'want' to be in the moment, to self-observe and to self-remember.

Relax and Slow Down

Another trick is to as often as we remember it to slow down, breathe and go inside. This gives us some space and we need space to be in the moment, to self-remember etc.

The bigger we make the separation or space within us the more effective our renewed efforts of self-remembering will be.

Remember More Frequently

We become very forgetful and so then we easily forget to make the effort to be in the moment and self-remember so we need to remember more or use something that reminds us. Really any disturbance, negative emotion, disagreement, negative thought is the most natural reminder. But we can use other things such as post it notes and watch or phone alarms etc.

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).
