Who are You? A List? No/Yes? I don't Know? - (5289)

A list right?


A list of qualities: virtues and defects, a list of titles, a list of roles, a list of points of view, a list of styles, a list of experiences, a list of sufferings, a list of dislikes and likes, a list of strengths and weaknesses, a list of skills, a list of abilities, a list of victories and defeats, and the list goes on... (pardon the pun).


That's life - things accumulating, lists forming and filling out, experience and debts accruing...


Death is list deconstructing...list erasing... 


If we want to know ourselves in real values of Being we will know ourselves in the struggle to die psychologically and we will know others when they are in their fight to die psychologically.


Maybe it is only in difficult circumstances that we get to know ourselves and others. The rest is just more or less you know West Australian strawberries which look nice but taste insipid because the soil is too sandy, lacking the nutrients which give strawberries their wild and exotic flavour.


In Gnosis we know we are not a list. A list is memory. Lose our memory and our lists will go but we still are, we still exist, we are still present. However, it is so difficult to know who someone is in essence and who we are in essence.


We have to perceive... Let the essence, our intuition, our centres feel who we are or who the other person is.


When we try to know ourselves or someone we get to know lists. But what about if we don't, if we get to know ourselves or them outside of lists. 


Maybe they are the vibration of them, which is a reflection of their inner quality. Difficult to feel our own vibration isn't it? Maybe they are their particular psychological nature, we can perceive our own psychological flavour, which changes often during the day.


However all these things are still not all that there is. There is the esoteric, the ontological, but that is really hard to find out, say if we do, it adds a dimension of respect in dealing with the human being, which can be good or can be inconvenient especially when we cross that line of respect into disrespect. 


Or is the mystery of not knowing, a better experience than knowing? Maybe yes, maybe no or maybe a bit of mystery and a bit of knowing is best?

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).
