Worrying About what People Think - (4068)

When we are worried about what people think about us, it is a sign that our pride is alive.


That statement which comes from Master Samael is a bit puzzling at first I found. Putting aside my confusion, it means that pride is the one that worries about what others think of us, so if we work on pride we will worry less and less about what others think of us. That's the key - work on pride. 


This affects so many of us and so many of us don't have this key - to work on pride. 




The real issue of this, is what we do in our mind with the thought that 'others are thinking negatively about us', or 'will think negatively about us'. If we just have the thought and forgot it there would be no problem inside of us. But that does not happen we have problems.


We are never worried about people thinking positively about us. This does not cause problems for us.


We may infer in our mind that if others think negatively about us, then we are less than valid. We are wrong, we may think that we are not up to scratch as a whole person, we may think that we are useless, we may think that we are unworthy etc. etc. All sorts of intensely emotionally felt statements such as these take up residence in our human machine. 


Our pride really can't stand such thoughts and does not want to think and feel these things and that is quite fine, we don't have to think or feel those thoughts. However, the ego of self-compassion really likes to think these thoughts because it's job is to make us wallow in pain. So we inevitably end up thinking and feeling those things.


Also our pride does not want to transform such thoughts or feelings it would rather run from or fight those who send us impressions that have made us think or feel that way. So we end up in the hands of an angry self-compassion, that expresses itself being angry at ourselves, shooting ourselves in the foot talking negatively bout ourselves in front of others etc.


I want to say that all of those statements that the mind infers are truly false. Well it doesn't matter what I say or anyone else says but it matters what we say inside of ourselves in front of those statements that our own mind brings up. As a whole person I can not be less than valid, nor can I be useless, nor can I be unworthy, nor can I be a wrong creation etc. etc. When we really think hard about that we come to the conclusion that our own mind is wrong to think that. 


We may have an aspect that is wrong or lacking or needs correcting like all of us under the sun do, it's just a matter of us getting up and fighting inside of ourselves to correct it. We all have had to do this and all of us will have to do this an infinite number of times in the future. No big deal!

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).
