An Ensnaring Contract Existing Between the Five Senses - (2238)

An Observation on the Five Senses

We have the five senses, which we can break up into two groups. One group with sight and hearing and the other group with touch, smell and taste.

The difference between these two groups is that one group of senses works in close range and the other works at a distance.

To taste, smell and touch we have to come into close contact with the things that we can taste, smell and touch. Whereas with hearing and sight we can see and hear things from a long distance and not have to come into close contact with those things.

We also have the superior octave of sight and hearing in the spiritual faculties of clairvoyance and clairaudience.

We can say that sight and hearing are less instinctive in nature because they do not require that very material or bodily contact. Perhaps we can even say that they are superior in some regard to the senses of taste, smell and touch. This is not at all to say that we should disregard the importance of taste, smell and touch. The information from these three senses can save our life.

This observation only serves to teach us that we are left freer with the senses of sight and hearing, and not so tied up as we are with the senses of taste, touch and smell.


The Contract to Break

There exists a special contract between the senses where the two higher senses: sight and hearing tie a person to taste, touch and smell. For example, a man who sees a beautiful woman then hears her voice will not remain perfectly content to just see and hear her voice, he will want to involve his other three senses of touch, smell and taste.

This is always the way with everything. We see a beautiful cake and then we want to taste it, touch it and smell it.

Knowing this hidden and mostly unknown contract we can work to break free from it. We can't begin to really struggle against it until we know that it exists in us.

Key

The key to break this entrapment is to refocus our sight and hearing and look deeper into the subtler side of the person, that is into the psychological side of the person through what we see and hear.

To see the psychology of the person is to go to a deeper reality in the person beyond their physical reality. It is actually the reality of the soul, as psychology is the study of the soul. Because really our psychic space is given to us by our essence, which comes from our soul.

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).
