Ego too Huge - Take It Down One Bight at a Time

Ego too Huge - Take It Down One Bight at a Time - (3174)

We may find ourselves having difficulty trying to define ourselves for the death of an ego. This may really worry us. Don't despair - all is not lost, there is a remedy.

The remedy is to work on facets or small parts of that ego which we find ourselves ready and capable to dissolve.

For example, if we take anger, we may be very happy to dissolve the part of anger that swears. But yet we feel incapable of dissolving the whole big block of anger. Somehow we need it or rely on it or whatever it is - we just feel we are not capable to dissolve it yet.

If we work on these small parts of anger we will end up weakening the defect of anger and the "I's" of anger that characterise it. One day soon due to the work that we have been doing we will be ready to dissolve the defect or the big "I's" of anger.

The big "I's" all feed off the smaller ones. If we have been taking down that ego piece by piece we will find ourselves pretty much ready to take the great leap and seriously work to take down the big block. By the way when we do decide to do that it will be easier as we have taken a lot of supply lines from it already.

The ego is like a tree that feeds through its roots, many of which are small. So taking away these roots makes the tree really weak and unable to feed.

There is a common saying that goes: "How do you eat an Elephant?" with the answer being one bight at a time.

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).
