Humility Essential Value for the Path Posts

Humility Essential Value for the Path Posts - (4092)

Absolutely no doubt we need humility for the path, even more than many other values.

Of course we need trust, hope and faith and the many other values such as patience, persistence, tenacity, yearning etc. However, humility especially in the begining is one that seems to be constantly needed in an all encompassing way, and it is also that which pays very handsomely by opening many doors for us.

Of course if we don't have transmutation as a value we are going nowhere on the path even if we are very humble. Anyway a real humility at some point would take us to transmutation. As we would recognise that we must handover within us the way we use our sexual energy to our inner Being, taking it from the hands of egoical interests that upon examination appear selfish, mistaken, mechanical - habitual, superficial etc. etc. offering it up to a higher principle of ourselves, which is what humility is most often about. More about that in later posts.

The main two values we really need are humility and transmutation.

I'm going to publish a few posts this week related to this theme of humility.

For sure its really important to have the right understanding of humility before we start cultivating it. For obvious reasons, being that if we know what humility is we can cultlivate humility and not something else.

The reality of this task is that we can only ever start with an idea of what humility is and as we go along we define, redefine, clarify, hone and refine through our experience and understanding that of what humility really is.

But we have to start somewhere with whatever we have. So in the next post I'll start by giving a list of points on what humility is. Well what I have heard and learnt in my limited experience of what humility is.

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).
