To Separate Things in Life is a Necessary Skill

To Separate Things in Life is a Necessary Skill - (4090)

A necessary skill in life is to know how to separate things. Especially when it comes to people.

We have to apply separation all the time really. If we don't separate we can fail at whatever it is. I think even being able to separate is a sign of maturity - a sign that a person has much experience in life and in the workings of human nature.

For example, with co-workers we have to separate their beliefs from ours and see them as a co-worker, as a professional with many learned and useful skills. Separate from our mind what they believe in and how they worship etc. and relate to the professional side of them without our feelings or appreciation for them being affected.

We mainly have to separate things when we have a problem. Say I have a problem with someone's beliefs then when I deal with that person I have to separate from that so that my thoughts about them are kept positive or at least neutral.

We need to apply separation when we make a psychological error of seeing one aspect of the person as the whole person.

A person may give a talk and we know that he or she does not know from direct experience what they are talking about, so we get disappointed and we stop listening. If we are intelligent we will separate, the talk from the person giving the talk. The information that they are presenting if they are repeating the teachings is not wrong. So then it becomes more important for us to then make conscious what the talk is about and forget about the experience of the speaker. If we did not separate we would not learn anything.

Separation leads us to learn something. Because it allows us distance through which light can enter and then we can see and then we can learn.

We also need to separate from all kinds of sensations and emotions. So as to not allow those sensations and emotions to affect our psychology.

End (4090).

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...

Gnostic View on Vampires and Dracula - (426)

Introduction I came across this passage from Master Samael when reading up about the Earth’s two Moons. I was quite astonished, mainly because I always thought that vampires did not exist or only existed in the Astral as a type of negative entity. However, Master Samael says in the following excerpt that a vampire is a condition that can be unfortunately developed by a human being. He says further that it is a very abnormal and abominable condition, which certainly it is. From Master Samael “Among the most abominable products of Lilith, it is opportune to cite the case of Count Dracula in Russia. This movie personage truly existed, and H. P. Blavatsky comments about him in one of her books. This great female Master stated that such a Count (in times of the Czars) was the Mayor of a certain Russian town. He mortally hated his wife, because vampires are homosexuals; they mortally hate the opposite sex. After...
