Biased Against those whom we don’t Know – (2308)


Mental Representations

So many times we meet people that develop a negative attitude against someone that they don’t know, all because a friend speaks negatively about them.
People allow themselves to take on this negative attitude towards that person whom they do not know out of loyalty to their friend, and this may seem to be ok in the moment but down the track this can present an interesting shift of events. Which this post will describe.
When we create a negative attitude towards someone it is because before doing that we created a negative mental representation of that person.
There is no guarantee that our mental representations agree with reality. To beware and not create any mental representations is the more awakened way to go.
We can't put a table in our head but we puit a mental representaton
of a table in our mind instead.

The Shift

To assume a negative attitude towards someone whom you do not know or know well, is an unconscious mechanical psychological action.
Before forming any concept or attitude towards someone, one should get to know the person, meet them and interact with them at the very least.
Gnosis always says that direct experience is to know, and to know is to begin to be conscious.
I stress this point, because what happens so very often is that when people create within their mind a certain bias against someone that they do not know, or know well, they begin to do this with others and they create a bad psychological habit of so easily creating mental representations based on what other people say. So much so that they can easily change their attitudes at the drop of a hat.
For instance, they may have seen a person in a positive light but because a friend says something negative about that person they bias their attitude to be negative, before even their friend finishes speaking.

Conclusion

Don’t be a person who easily creates mental representations of others from what others say about a person.
I say this because such people can not really be trusted because they will change the way that they see you in the near future. All because they are not are not accepting within themselves the need to be more conscious in dealing with the mental representations that their own mind creates for them.
To start to question our mental representations and dissolve them with the help of the Divine Mother is the way to deal with them.
End (2308).

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).
