Panic Attack Cards on the Table - (3732)

Here is a post that may be helpful in diffusing a panic attack. 

Here goes.

With panic attacks there is that element of being scared of fear. Like we are scared of getting a panic attack. We fear the panic, like Winston Churchill said that there is only fear to fear.

It so happens to us, that being scared of a panic attack means our mind is remembering it and is thinking about it and this unfortunately calls it forward and makes it happen, and happen against our will.

The last thing that we want to happen is the onset of panic. But it happens.

Obviously we believe that a panic attack is negative, certainly because it feels really awful. But there are other reasons there too. Because it is socially unacceptable, embarrassing, unprofessional, image destroying, it is just not normal, it is weird, it is psychotic, it is plain scary and irrational, it is stupid and petty, it means we are a non-sense Gnostic etc. etc. 

In our mind that suffers from a panic attack some words like: "Ah no one cares really really, they will forget it when they go home to a nice dinner and fall asleep at night in their nice comfy bed feeling all nice and cosy in their skin, so if I am worried about what they think or feel and they are not worried then I'm not going to worry either so who cares!” Are quite useful.


But we can't say that can we, the consequences of what we are scared of are just too important to wipe away, forget about, disregard. 

The consequence of a panic attack may be serious like a pilot panics when landing and he is flying a plane full of passengers, but the trick is to in our mind fully disregard it, like make crash landing the plane not a problem in our mind, that is not a problem in the mind of the panicking ego. But physically we still fly and land the plane nicely and safely. Read on...

The trick is to mindfully and without resisting it call on the panic.

The panic is approaching, let it come, it is ok, let be like ocean waves crashing down then dissipating, ok ok...

When we do this the mind gets confused and then diffused. 

The mind says: "What! This possible consequence is not a big issue to him anymore? Then what, I've got nothing to do, no reason to provoke panic to make him alert to danger so to protect him from stuffing up or getting into trouble". Then it backs off.

By us opening it up in our mind and making it not a problem anymore. We make the unacceptable acceptable. Then fear has less and less of a reason to be present.

The trust comes in that we have to trust that it is all in our mind. That that the mind obeys the logic that if there is no danger or anything to worry about in its reason or its knowing then it will obey logic and back down. Our mind has reasons that a panic attack is terrible, when we void those reasons it has no reason to call it.

If we don't have mind we will perform totally well. We don't need the mind to jump the gun and to tell us about danger by making us scared, and panicked we have to trust more our essence than our mind. Our consciousness or essence can do any task better than our mind can. 

The pilot is not thinking of crash landing the plane and so it is not an issue in the mind and the mind does not react calling panic to make sure that does not happen. And the pilot lands the plane beautifully.

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).
