A Memory is Central to an Ego

A Memory is Central to an Ego - (2718)

Central to Structure

Many egos have a particular sensation central to their structure. While other egos have the memory of a feeling as central to their structure.

In both cases - if we were to remove the memory or we if forget that central sensation or feeling, these egos "shake at the knees".

Lust, laziness, selfishness, fear etc. are examples of such egos that have memory as central to their structure.

A fornicator for example, is driven by the memory of loosing the sexual energy. If that person were to forget the sensation and feeling then that ego would be severely handicapped.

Obviously the central memory is registered in the person as something positive or negative for the person. Positive registering causes desire and negative registering causes avoidance or fear.

Working Memory

In our work with memory, to firstly know that there is a memory central to the structure of an ego, and it is this memory that is driving that ego's desires, helps us to work seriously on an ego.

Once we know the above we can begin to deliberately not entertain that memory.

After not giving ourselves to remember that memory we will be able to see that indeed it is the trigger for the desire process and the main goal the trapped will of the ego drives towards.

One will then come to understand that more work has to be done. When one delves deeper one will understand that it is actually not the memory but it is the effect of the memory and the thoughts and emotions that the memories have built up in us, that affect us.

It is these 'memory effect structures' that we must dissolve.

If we remember without thought and emotion there is no problem. But the problem is that when we remember thoughts and emotions are generated that start an egoic process in us.
.
If we meditate on what the memory has built up in us we can help ourselves out a weakening and dissolving that ego.

End (2718).

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
