Clean Up - Why Laziness is Not So Good - (2455)

Until You Know the Ego is Not Good for You

I was talking to some Gnostic friends on Saturday and one of them made a very true and interesting comment. Basically he was saying that when we realize in our bones that the ego is bad for us, we then gather up the necessary force, will, emotion and mind set to dissolve the ego that we have come to understand is bad for us.

So in this post I am going to present a little something about laziness.

Laziness and Cleanliness

There is an interesting relationship between laziness and cleanliness. A lazy person is one who usually has her or his abode in a real mess. Well, this is a tricky point, becasue a person may not at all be lazy in certain other areas. A person for example may be very intellectually active or very socially active, but have his or her house in a disgraceful state.

That is the trick about laziness, we know that we have it becasue in some areas we are really lazy. Just like pride, we have a lot of pride in some areas and in other areas where some people have a lot of pride we have very little. But we still have pride well and alive.

We can't be tricked into thinking that because we are very active in one area, that we don't have laziness. When we dissolve laziness we dissolve it globally and the areas where we were lazy we are not. 

The area though that where people have the most laziness is in the area of house cleaning. 

The bad thing about laziness is that when we look out at our weed ridden unkept back yard we feel defeated and even sower, heavier, "too hard" in other words lazier. This feeling is never at all good for us to feel. such feelings take us downwards into more lethargy, weight gain, pessimistic thinking and stagnation.

Sorry - I couldn't help it, I am a lazy egg fan (google "lazy egg" and you'll know what I mean...). Eggs are
amazing really. It is said that the universe was gestated in an egg - the Orphic Egg. They also have a very
special property related to Jinas powers master Samael says. Eggs have always fascinated me.

Laziness Lowers Dignity

To be lazy and have an abode that is messy, and dirty bordering on unhealthy is really against one's dignity. For me to hoard things is against one's dignity and it is an inversion of values. The more one hoards the more one feels defeated and incapable of dealing with anything.

The lazy person starts to develop a defeatist attitude and in the end can't deal with anything. Because all the will and energy needed to deal with things is trapped in laziness... or blocked by laziness. Laziness is the inertia that stops that energy and will from flowing actively in us. That is why the lazy person takes a good long while to finally get going and integrated into the task. 

The less resistance that you have to do something the less laziness that you have. 

Certainly to deal with things in life if we have energy and will and we preserve using these two qualities wisely we end up triumphing and successfully solving our problems.

Conclusion - Laziness in Any Area is to Shoot Yourself in the Foot

Laziness is like to shoot yourself in the foot. To lower your dignity and to essentially give yourself impressions of defeat.

It is such a relaxing and positive inner smiling like impression when we walk through our room and house and see things tidy, organised, neat, clean and fresh. For me personally I value that much more than having a house full of things, even if they are valuable. Those positive impressions are much better or of more valuable then a nice stereo or super leather couch or what not. But don't give away your stereo or leather couch, keep it, use it and enjoy it if you have one.

End (2455).

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).
