Automatic Compensation Does not Address the Cause

Automatic Compensation Does not Address the Cause - (3652)

We have many compensation mechanisms in our psyche. Most of them work subconsciously.

All of them that are subconscious attempt to make up for some lack or psychological discomfort or suffering.

These subconscious compensations do not actually address the root cause of the lack or discomfort.

They provide some relief, some forgetting but afterwards they take one back to beginning again, with the same void or suffering unaddressed.

The wise truth seeker would look deeper inside to delve into the actual suffering and find the real cause of discomfort.

When we break into that suffering we see that no one can really fully help us. Others can certainly help. But the solution is ours to forge. It is mostly a certain relationship with ourselves is not quite right, and it needs fixing.

People drink to not feel suffering, to feel happy showing by duality they need to
face the suffering, accept it, feel it, absorb it and transform it into feeling ok.

I can't face myself, I can't deal with myself in that situation, I can't be with myself etc. It all boils down to there being some bad way of relating that is all packaged up in one ego or maybe two.

when one finds the egos at the cause, one sees how far away from addressing the cause the automatic response of compensation is.

The automatic compensation if we pay attention points always to a problem (sometimes exactly to it by duality) and in the case of fantasy it shows one by duality what qualities one is lacking.

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).
