Life Teaches Us What to do with the Four Elements We Have Within Us - (3158)

Introduction

Before being physical the elements are spiritual then psychological. The elements are living principles.

We all relate in some way to the elements. Sometimes we don't know how to relate well with them. Not the elements that exist outside of ourselves but the elements that are in our body and psychology.

This post gives some pointers in this regard, i.e. how to better relate to them, by looking at how we relate to them in normal human life.


Fire

We see in life that fire is mainly controlled.

We see that fire is always dialed down or up. It is dialed up or down by controlling what it consumes. It is given less air or more air and it is given more coal or less coal.

Fire is used this way in cars, boats, planes, power stations, boilers, kitchens, refineries etc. 

Within us, life would teach us that we can benefit greatly by moderating our enthusiasms. This covers the expressions of our emotional and sexual energies.

Fire used without moderation is very destructive, just as is our emotional and sexual energy if used without moderation.

Air

We see in life that air is mainly circulated.

We see this in air conditioning systems, fans, planes, helicopters, blowers of all sorts,

Within us our aerial elements if directed can be of great benefit to us. If they are not directed, i.e. our thoughts we become very flighty and end being neither here or there.


Water

We see in life that water is mainly made to flow.

We see this in damns, aqueducts, sewerage, urban and country water supplies, etc.

Within us we see that as a whole our life flows from one moment tot eh next. It is never still. Also we have our raw sexual energy in our inner waters, and we, as life would teach us, to get good benefit from water, is to make that sexual energy flow to a place that where it will nourish us and supply life to us. This is transmutation.


Earth

We see in life that earth is mainly worked.

We see this in market gardens, building sites, parks, home gardens, etc.

Within us our earth has to be worked and trained. Which means to make something fruitful, our body - our earth must be disciplined or trained. A spiritual discipline pays handsomely to anyone who has one.

Common

In life a common approach to the elements is to always contain them in some way. Which means for us that to contain the elements means to be aware of them and utilize them for our benefit. Just as in life the elements are contained to be later used for beneficial purposes.

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).
