Distraction is Regretful

Distraction is Regretful - (3451)

Ah we regret having been distracted like nearly 100% of the time. Right?

What did the boss tell me to do again?

Ah my instructor just said something really important, the key to understand this and that, but what was it again?

We get yelled at: "You don't listen. Listen to me!".

The list goes on...

In short distraction seems to be the cause of so much calamity,. strife, accident, misfortunes and problems.

Seeing this I reckon that it is worth working to eliminate it from our own lives.

To do this requires some psychological work, will of course and a degree of mastery over our conscious attention.

It makes sense that so many things happen to us when distracted because our consciousness is not there.

We get distracted by egos of course - hence the need for psychological work.

Sometimes people believe they need distraction. Have to have it they say, otherwise life is too hard, dry, sterile, no fun, no enjoyment no relaxation etc.

We can replace 'needing distraction' with mindful restful, agreeable, fun, enjoying etc. activity. Which in other words is undistracted relaxing activity. This is a huge achievement to do this. People watch a movie but lose awareness and get filled with inferior emotions and waste energy instead of relaxing.

Well any way this is huge work in progress that we arrive at gradually. But still worth working towards.

End (3451).

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
