Develop Your Imagination - (3006)

Necessary

We can benefit so much from having a well developed imagination.

It helps us with our mystical practices and psychological practices. You don't know how much until you really develop your imagination more.

Mystical Work

You know the reason why so many of our mystical practices fizzle is because we lack concentration and imagination.

Imagination like concentration is an ability that we accumulate.

Our physical vision is really pale compared to the richness and clarity that we can develop our imagination to. In other words our imagination can be realer to us than what we see with our own eyes.

This is a rather large mug just in case you were wondering.

Psychological Work

With imagination we can construct the scene of any egoic manifestation and delve deep into the egoic state that we had, and extract some of the information about the ego under study that we lost the chance to capture during the manifestation.

Develop It

We develop our imagination by developing first of all the senses. Developing each sense one at a time.

So for the visual sense we start by looking at something and then recreating the image of the object in our imagination.

We have to practice and practice until we can hold it there for a few minutes. Then we can change the image as we please. Make the object fly, expand, contract, change colour and so on.

When we can do this for at least five minutes we have acquired a level of imagination that we can really do a proper mystical practice with.

Then we have to do the same with hearing, then touch, then smell and then taste. But not mixing seeing with any of the other senses. Imagine a sound with no image component, imagine a taste with no sound or image, imagine a tactile sensation with no image, sound or smell and imagine a taste with no smell, no image, no sound and no touch.

Then when we have developed all of these imaginations of the senses we can combine then all together and really we can be somewhere within ourselves and believe me our mystical practices then improve to a level you had not ever experienced before.

End (3006).

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).
