Don't be Afraid of the Thoughts - (3740)

This has helped me very much!

If we are afraid of certain thoughts, I want to say straight away that that is not a good situation. Something can be done to fix that.


If we resist certain thoughts and we cringe trying to block them then that is an issue that I had and one which I see now as a lack of understanding about the nature of thoughts and also a lack of separation from the mind.

We are not the thoughts!

We have to understand this deeply. If we are the thoughts it would be so terrible. We can't be because we would be so scattered so many millions of different identities and people.

We are the one constant background awareness that sees, hears, observes, witnesses the thoughts unfolding in its own theatre - the theatre of consciousness.

A thought comes and goes. It can not do anything. A thought does not mean it will happen nor that we will do it nor that we have to do it.

A thought is a puff of air blown into our psychological space. Like a puff it dissipates quickly and can't be put together again once it dissipates.

Separate from the thoughts no matter how awful, violent, disastrous, embarrassing, antithetical, etc. by understanding them as thoughts only, we are not them and so we don;t have to engage in them nor do we have to do them nor be scared about having them.

When we can separate from them we are not worried or scared of having them because we know they are not us and we have the full right to not feel the compulsion to follow them or do them.

The thoughts come from mechanical triggers, whose relevance is far left behind in time now and or the subconsciousness, which is very illogical and mixed up. 

The thoughts don't come from the consciousness which is us. Even if they did they are still only thoughts. They are suggestions but we chose, we have the right, they are only that: suggestions, concepts, ideas, images, words, they can't do anything to you and they are subjective they don;t represent the reality of whats happening! Don't believe me, then just hold the thought and wait for what is real!

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).
