Real Calm Spot Photos - (3716)

Special Spots

Just on a lighter note now. Taking a break from the fantasy posts.

I think we all have to have our special spots where we for some reason, who knows why feel so calm. So suddenly at peace, more alert and just overall well. A place where we can really relax and let our nervous system replenish itself. The better we can relax and feel at ease the better and quicker we calm, heal, repair and charge up our nervous system which certainly has benefits for us.

To have our nervous system frayed, tired, exhausted puts us on edge, makes us nervous and we begin to believe that we can't keep all this up. We are so easily annoyed and just want to sleep or run away. 

Suprisingly these spots are not: Lake Como, the Swiss Alps, a deserted island, the Rockies, Gibraltar,  the red dusty outback, Nepal, the Sahara, Mount Kilimanjaru, etc.

A Few

Here are a few of mine.

This Tree on Canning Highway has something about it, whenever I walk past it (slowly has to be slowly in a rush one does feel it) every morning to the bus stop, such a calm and alertness washes over me and soon as I get a little distance from it, the effect dissipates. I remember one monring I was in a state, and when slowly walking past it I noticed such a contrast. To spend a few miniutes under its boughs was such a balm. 

Hope they don't cut it down. It is special.

Just sitting on the floor looking out in front of the fire place is another. On the floor, making contact with the ground, rock bottom, supported by Mother Earth, that's all that one needs.


This stretch of the path at Trigg. Same effect as the Como Pub tree. Maybe the pine trees or the wide vista and the Indian behind. Don't know but it works. I've untied a few aching internal mental and emotional knots while sitting and walking up and down there like a pacer.


Up here at Kings Park. Just the wide and high vista calms the mind. Allows the perception of vastness and emptiness to enter the mind which quietens it and like heals it from its detailed and narrow jails.


Practical Part

Whenever needing some help to feel a bit calmer, clearer, alert, at peace and more deeply reflective, visiting your spots is not a bad idea. Well worth it, if you can.

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).
