The Whole is Great

The Whole is Great - (3390)

For the "I" of pride, life is hard.

Pride always wishes to see one person (ourselves) as exceedingly important, as the one amongst a group, a suburb, a city, a country even a planet, standing out in quality etc.

It intimately can not understand how we are not great, and don't really stand out.

The truth that so many others are so good, so skilled, so intelligent, so virtuous, so brave, so hard working, so aware etc. leaves pride quietly puzzled, and left with nothing it asks so what am I then?

The answer is there in front of us, it just requires some courage to grab onto it and embrace it.

Answer: we are a part of the great whole. The whole, the oneness is what is totally great! And we have a part in that. We are an essential piece. Without us the whole is not whole.

To feel that the oneness begins to creep into our identity is very interesting and liberating.

Pride thinks that strength is the individual, the strong rebellious individual standing out amongst all the rest.

But really the strength, the wisdom, the love, and the power of the preceding three is all in the whole, in the oneness.

Try to bring the oneness into the picture of you, so that you now see yourself as a part of the whole.

Many egos will then suffer mortal blows. Egos such as pride, envy etc. will get such a good hit.

It will also help you in your understanding of the whole and help you in the interactions with people.

End (3390).

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...

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
