An Elegant Business Woman just Topples Over - (3501)

One day after work, 17:10 hundred hours, out of the office and on my way to catch the 910, walking down St Georges Terrace approaching the traffic lights at the corner of St. George's and Miligan there was a very elegant lady, executive type, dressed to kill as they say, hand bag, high heels and laptop. 

Then she just falls over, laptop and hand bag contents go everywhere. People scramble to help and collect the rolling contents of her hand bag. Someone asks: "are you ok?" and she says a few times: "yes, just so embarrassed". She took it pretty well actually. Just so strange how she fell, Just standing there and then next thing she's on the pavement.

All of that happened right there in front of me like 8 metres away. That was something I least expected from a lady like that.


Something like that has to make one reflect. We can walk around sometimes so far removed from those so very human possibilities of 'stacking it' (Aussie expression for crashing). Head held high, straight back, walking majestically, super duper...

There's the fear of pride getting so hurt seeing ourselves 'stack it' like that, or getting into an argument and showing our distorted angry face, or being defeated or toppled over in a scuffle or skirmish, etc.

Somehow at the base of it is a rejection based on ignorance of, or a lack of acceptance of our real nature as human beings. Pride still thinks that we are invincible super dupers or something.

Pride tries so hard not to show our upset emotion at being defeated or being by bothered by others or having an accident, 'stacking it' or otherwise... 

When seeing someone having stacked it, somehow though, our essence underneath it all recognises the more human natural reaction, because it knows it to be real and sees the courage in that person of having accepted the accident, rather than the proud person inebriated with 'super duper' images of him or herself showing nothing or being angry and not wanting any help. We know those latter attitudes come from the false self-image projections of pride that are not aligned with reality.

We tend to find such a person more likable than the no emotion or very angry person, because they show more humility and understanding than the arrogance of the 'no emotion' person, which later one day if we get to know that 'no emotion' person they will hit us one good, where as the humble person is not likely to do that.

What is quite funny we are even too embarrassed to release a natural 'gas ball' when we are in the work toilets, for fear of being heard. No one can really complain it is the right place to do it.

End (3501).

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).
