Defeatism: Poisoned Chalice

Defeatism: Poisoned Chalice - (3736)

This is a serious issue.

What is it really? What is defeatism?

We can define it intellectually, almost academically, but in the reality of the effects we feel due to it, we can say it is something like a poison.

Drinking it all up we like poison ourselves. We end up going against our own essence.

We, with our own hands, feet, body, mind and heart created the ego and if we created it we can undo it.

We have an interior divinity that has everything, will, power, intelligence, consciousness which is good enough to undo what it created. Why can't we do it if all that we need is there, just for us to use it.

Defeatism believes that we can't do it, that we won't make it, that we are unworthy, that we are not intelligent, enough, energetic enough, powerful enough, preserving enough and it goes on and on.

All these reason if we look at them are excuses, evasions, they are not real reasons, in truth putting those excuses aside we can certainly do something.

Don't drink from defeatism. Don't believe in it. It takes your faith, your power away.

Defeatism is a major causes of laziness.

I mentioned in a previous post that laziness is about avoiding work.

When we are lazy we avoid work because the defeatism in us makes us to not have any faith in that we can go to the path or work inn dissolving the ego or that we can transmute our energies.

Faith solves laziness.

Defeatism ribs us of faith and if we are robbed of faith we are robbed of power, which is mostly will.

Separating from defeatism and laziness we do something for our path and on our path even if we are married or not, old or young, well or unwell.

It is really wise to not even say that aloud or even think that we can't do the work. Don't say it to ourselves and don't say it to anyone. We have to get tough with this thing to send it far away from ourselves.

End (3736).

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
