Is that Thought True? An Extraordinary Help

Is that Thought True? An Extraordinary Help - (2519)

Just this One Question

If we ask ourselves just this one question we can help ourselves like we don't imagine.

The ego projects at the best half truths and the rest are falsehoods.

The thing is we believe both half truth and complete falsity, totally mechanically, and that makes our consciousness sleep.

Asking ourselves the question is that true, for every thought or for at least the intense egoical thoughts, stops the mechanical believing and therefore the sleepiness of our consciousness.

This can be very profound actually. It will help you to peer right through the mind and to grasp what is real in you and what is really you.

Asking this question really really helps us to understand the mind and understand how it works. Just this one question opens up many doors of knowledge for us. How powerful this one question is!

We have a thought about a person and an image from our memory that accompanies it. Then you ask the question: "is that true?" You may see that it is not really, you may understand that the image of the person is not the person and it is not how the person looks right now, and so it is not really true, it is only a representation that our mind uses.

Is that a shirt you are wearing? Is that true? A shirt? The answer has to be "I don't know if it is a shirt". Because you don't know in full honesty, because we only all agree to call that a shirt.

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).
