Some Facing Mind Tactics

Some Facing Mind Tactics - (3607)

It is good to have a bit of info up our sleeves about how to deal with the mind.

When Negative and Sensitive

When we are in a very negative and hypersensitive state, one negative thought sets us spiralling down. In such a state the best thing is to not think, not even glance at the thoughts. Just ever so gently and nice and quickly let go for as long as necessary until our normal psychology starts to show the first glimpses of coming back.

Constant Bombardment

Being bombarded by one thought after another makes it very hard to analyse all the thoughts and look into them so to dissolve them. When our mind is like this we have to increase our alertness and use our consciousness to catch what it can in an instant and then let the thought go. For as long as necessary.

Negative but One at a Time

When the thoughts are spaced we can do it. When they arrive one after the other we have to select the thought we wish to dissolve, by means of analysis, seeing both sides of the thought, seeing the absolute value of the thought (the value which the thought is a positive or negative side of), inquiring into its truth or falseness, turning it around which is switching the relative reference point of the thought to an opposite reference point.

For example: "She thinks I am stupid.". Turning it around we get: "I am thinking I am stupid." or "I think she is stupid." or "I think that I am smart.". Then ask which one is truer. Obviously the first one is. That thought then remains nuetralised.

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).
