Dash the Untouchable Concepts - (2347)

Introduction

ANZAC day in Australia is today. From the common point of view as an Australian, it is a sacred day. A day to remember all those who fell in world war one and two. It is a sad day, with a dawn service, a bugle sounding the “last post”, war veteran parades and so on.

Just imagine someone stands up and says: “What a load of …!”. My goodness me such a person would really have to run!

Well you know someone can do that one day and how are we going to react? I would prefer to be psychologically dead in that, and not get all shocked, disgusted and irate and end up verbally insulting the person or worse.

Being a Gnostic

Being a Gnostic someone who works on themselves. One can investigate such concepts and detach it from one’s pride and anger. This certainly does not mean that one would stop respecting ANZAC day. No!

One would understand and respect the day and those who hold it dear to them but it would not be a part of the way one feels intimately towards oneself nor would it form part of one’s identity. One would see themselves as an essence, who once was perhaps even born in a body that belonged to a nation that fought against Australia, but now has a body that was born in Australia and has an Australian personality, with values in it from the land and people of Australia. But that too will change in the future.


What Would it Mean to Not Have those Sacred Concepts?

It would mean that when a person from a foreign country says that ANZAC day is “rubbish” you will not react with anger nor pride. But with a degree of tolerance, simply leaving that opinion in the person, because after all it is only an opinion.

Understanding what the commemoration day is about and then expanding the essence of the day universally to all people and nations and the human condition, we can break the exclusivity that such concepts have on our minds. Basically, in the light of the esoteric teachings all these commemoration days come down to our sleeping relationship to death and karma.

Say if somebody no longer fears death so much or at least understands the fear one has of it and understands how things are moved by and are due to karma, one changes the way that they regard the way people think about war, death, loss, memory etc.

Untouchable Concepts

There are many such sacred concepts around. These concepts I think can be investigated and the deep attachment that they have to our egos can be loosened and this is a big help in weakening the personality and in freeing our mind.

Some of these sacred concepts are: death, illnesses, tragedy, war veterans, family, national days, commemoration days, all things that are related to the dignity of being a man or woman etc. etc. Things in other words that are sacred to the personality. Which is quite relative. Because what is sacred or untouchable to some personalities is commonplace and nothing to other personalities.

Conclusion

Concepts are not reality, concepts about a country and their people are not universal and we are likely to come across different conflicting concepts to ours. Therefore it is worth working on these sacred concepts. Often also, because the masters are free of these concepts our tests can come to us through these concepts.

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).
