For the Ego No One Is Special

For the Ego No One Is Special - (3052)

This is something quite true but hard to come to terms with. But if we do, that is understand this well it is really freeing and wonderful!

The ego in ourselves and in people gets upset, annoyed, angry, resentful, lustful, jealous etc. at anyone no matter who we are. This is because it reacts/manifests based on impressions and based on its interpretations of the impressions.

That is why we think: "I am your good friend, don't yell at me" but we get yelled at all the same and feel really hurt. We even think "if I was the neighbour they would not yell at me and I have done more for them than the stupid neighbour".

So we can start to see that we are not special for the ego, for the essence yes, but not for the ego. Even I would rather stay on the side of being an essence than being special.

We get quite upset because we feel that we are beyond being yelled at, and should not be yelled at. The truth is that when the ego occupies all of the mind, it no longer sees people it just sees its interests. So we have to adjust our thinking and understand that when another person's ego occupies their mind fully they will not see us anymore, they will only see their need to defend or attack or desire etc. This can happen even in an instant too you know.

When they do see us, things are different. In fact, many times after being yelled at, the person who yelled, repents, because their essence realises that they did something not befitting the kind of relationship that they have with the person that they yelled at - such as a friend.

So a key here for us is to always keep in mind our relationship with others. This acts as a brake to not allow the ego to fully take our mind.

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).
