Old School Bully Died - (3570)

Years Ago

So this was years ago. I picked a fight with a kid in primary school and it went pretty pear shaped. That's because he won and very quickly became like an enemy and his mates turned into like bullies. 

Thank goodness he didn't kick me there.
That was a really good lesson to learn. I first thought the lesson was: "if you pick a fight make sure you can win". I tried that, then I learnt that up against teachers and the school principal you are never going to win. After that I began to learn the lesson, that: antipathy does not take you anywhere, only into lots of trouble, into lots of reprimands, stress and fear. Its not the right way, the best is to be on good terms with our fellow man and then live in peace. 

Dead

Anyway that aside I was one day reviewing my life and I remembered that guy and I so I googled him and holy macaroni the guy is dead, he died in November 2017 during the time of one of our big retreats. I couldn't believe it, he was a very athletic and fit guy. But according to the public records he is really six foot under. I wonder how he died that old mate of mine...

What do we feel when a person like that in our life dies? A relief, happy, nah not at all really - sad more like it. An enemy is a friend really, and sometimes a friend is an enemy. I would really have liked to have met him again and God willing and him willing also, turn that enmity into a friendship and pay that debt forever.

Friend and Enemy  

Both friend and enemy are similar. We are linked closely to both. We have intense feelings for both. Both help us. We think a lot about both. We help both. We know both. They both know us well. They both know our weaknesses and strengths well, we wonder why both are in our lives and we deep down in the quiet recesses of our essence we love both...  

The only thing, is that feelings, thoughts, help etc., is polarised in opposite ways for friend and enemy. A friend helps externally while an enemy helps internally.

A friend can be an enemy to our essence, because the friend protects and justifies our weaknesses. An enemy is a friend to our essence as it gives us the opportunity to grow stronger through adversity. 

The conscious friend is both friend and enemy in one. A friend that helps in all the positive ways but then when it comes to our egos, that friend is an enemy, because that friend wants that we dissolve those egos and see the light of our essence shine through.

An enemy was really a great friend once. All the real enemies of Gnosis for example, were once great Gnostics. The big guys in the abyss were once great angels. And sometimes the best friends are those who were once sworn enemies.

A friend you know Master Samael says is an esoteric degree. It takes much maturity and much consciousness to be a friend on the esoteric path and even in life to someone.

End (3570).

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).
