Combat Fantasy

Combat Fantasy – (2300)

Introduction

Sometimes just letting go of thoughts is very helpful in dealing with the egos that think them. Especially if those thoughts come from the egos of fear, anxiety, worry and attachment.

However with fantasy, it is often better to directly counteract such thoughts.

There are many ways that one can do this, and once again different methods will work better for different people. This post gives just one of the many ways.

It can be Made Real and Then?

Usually with people’s fantasy there is a great deal of fascination involved. So a method of breaking down that fascination is quite an effective tool to combat fantasy.

If we have a particular fantasy about acquiring a spiritual faculty for example, then tell yourself: “sure you can acquire that faculty, just work harder and put your consciousness, will and mind into making it happen, and it will”.

Observe then what happens within you, you will see that it is then not really such a fantasy anymore, it has become more like a plan. That is it made an entrance into the realms of reality.

Once something has become a plan we then can get an idea of whether or not that plan can be carried out.

It may seem like too much hard work for it to be carried out and so we can know that fantasy is all about skipping the steps, jumping forward in time.

This brings me to the important point that being steadfast in the moment is another way to combat fantasy.

Conclusion

So there are two tools here that are useful to combat fantasy. They are: be in the moment, not in the future or the past and convert fantasy to a plan and bring it into the realm of reality and then deicide.

End (2300).

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...

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...
