Ways of Self-Deception

Ways of Self-Deception - (3407)

Introduction

Master Samael says that in the ancient times those admitted into the mysteries were foremost taught all the ways of deceiving oneself, with the purpose that they would not later fall into any form of self-deception.

It certainly merits I believe to study self-deception and work on it eliminating the possibility from within ourselves.

Deceptive Arts

Self-deception is much worse than deception. Us deceiving ourselves is worse than someone deceive us.

There are many ways of self-deception.

In the end, self-deception is what 'shoots ourselves in the foot".

Self-deception as is deception, is always about not seeing the truth - not seeing the reality of things.

For there to be deception or self-deception there has to be someone, some force, some power, some intelligence malign or otherwise that orchestrates the deception.

Within us, it is easy, this deceiving power, is our mind, any ego, our subconscious and the kundabuffer.

What deceives us are mistaken reasoning and mistaken perceptions.

All that is closet to the truth avoids deception or self-deception.

A balanced vision is one that is certainly not deceived. While an unbalanced vision or perspective is making us to see only one side is what deceives us, thinking we have seen both sides when we have only seen one.

The may fantasies that we have are elements of self-deception.

We have to constantly keep close the truth and reality to see and see the real.

We get identified due to self-deception. When we stop seeing the ego as an ego and see it as the whole and authentic us we have been deceived.

We are deceived by the logic of the ego - believing it is the way things really are and that the reasons the ego presents are real and infallible reasons.

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).
