Balance is not Absolute there Exist Octaves of it - (4109)

Balance changes as we integrate. Balance is not a fixed or set thing.


For a beginner to work on him or herself forty minutes a day could be the right balance in his or her day. Spending that time allows the beginner time to tend to all his or her chores, duties, responsibilities and pass times.


As the beginner practices more he/she manages to change things in his or her life and works on him or herself for one hour, then one hour and a half and that seems to be the magic balance in relation to the various things of his or her life.


Then he or she practices more and even brings the work into their tasks and interactions of their daily life and of course priorities in their life change and certain pass times that were used to balance the work out before are reduced. Resulting that a new balance in their life is struck.


For example we are told that the masters work all day and night even. Their balance would be to rest by working less intensely in another direction or by working on something else, to give themselves time to rest and recuperate. That's their balance but the beginner works, then has to spend some time watching a movie, working, talking etc. to balance. If they don't do that they become a bit strange, a bit fanatical, or either very weak in their studies, just depending on which side they go to.


So a balance is always struck according to one's needs and structure. Balance for a beginner is very different to balance for someone advanced and vice versa etc.

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into'  a task without reasoning.   "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre.  Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
