About Merits –Ordered and Organised Notes – (2315)

Definition

Merits are a special quantity. A special value that makes us deserving or worthy of some reward or some through passage.
In esotericism, merits are typically seen in terms of reward and progression. In human terms, merits can mean both reward or punishment. For example, “his callous actions merit punishment”.
Merits are similar to dharma or cosmic capital but they are not strictly dharma. Included in merits there is always dharma, however merits are a touch more. They are an envelope that contains dharma and certain values of the essence or Being.

About the Nature of Merits

Merits are partially invisible. To understand this point ask yourself do you know how much merits you have or how much cosmic capital you have? The answer is that we don’t really know.
One knows how much merits one has or one lacks through negotiation.
There are general merits are merits relative to something, for example merits in relation to awakening the kundalini.
There are merits of the heart, merits of the five centres, merits of the consciousness, etc.

The Monad and Merits

Do all Monads have the same merit?
Answer: No. Monads who have achieved the self-realisation are different in terms of merit to those who have not realized themselves.
Trick Question - Are all Monads created equal, that is with equal merits?
Answer: No. Because the Monad is not created the Monad has always been and will always be. Merits are a matter of voluntary and conscious works.

Merits and Time

If we have merits it is because they were created in the past. All merits come from present and past works and are stored within us here and now.
Merits remain within us to be used for the future.
Merits can also be lost.
Misconduct, specifically conduct that breaks the ethics that uphold the value of merits causes those same merits to be lost within a person.

Merits are Earnt, Won, Fabricated…Not Given

The issue of inherent merits is too difficult to answer. Merits within our essence and within our Being are mostly invisible to us.
When we are permitted to see, merits are symbolised by rings, jewels, vestments, treasures, coins made of precious metals, swords, precious stones, etc.
Merits are created by the consciousness.
Merits are a matter of conscious and voluntary works.

Money and Merits, Merits and the Path

The money that a person has, is largely an expression of the person’s cosmic capital and merit. However, there are merits of life and there are merits of the path.
Merits of the path are not usually shown in the physical money that we have.

The Benefits or Use of Merits

Merits heal us.
Merits allow us passage into higher octaves of the work and path.
Merits pay for light.
Merits allow us physical vitality.
Merits allow us knowledge.
Merits allow us to marry the right person for our esoteric work.
Merits allow us to die psychologically.
Our merits can heal others and be used to help others.
Merits allow us a happy physical death and one that is conscious or more conscious than mechanical.
The merits of purity, tenderness, kindness, love allow us to work magically with the elementals of nature.

Best Way to Earn Merits

Any work that we do that has a positive result earns us merits. Helping others earns much merit.
Spiritual work is the highest currency to earn merits with.
Transforming oneself is the best way to yearn the most merits.
Our Being is the greatest treasure. Anything that enhances the Being, that is brings our Being forward in us earns the highest merits.
Any practice earns us capital and merit.
The greater the sacrifice the great the merits.

Karma and Merits

Many times the merits we have pays our karma allows us to negotiate with the Divine Law regarding our karmic debts.
There are however, karmic debts that no matter the quantity of merits and dharma that we have we must pay that karma. It simply cannot be negotiated.

Conclusion

We need to fabricate merits. Merits are best fabricated by working on our psychological death. With merits we can progress in our work and achieve and acquire all that we need to complete our work and wish to know, be or possess.
Work in the three factors to totally maximise your chances of earning merits.
End (2315).

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).
