Learn and Integrate

Learn and Integrate - (4170)

This is something I am learning the last couple of days.

I am feeling strongly that we need to learn from what is happening in our life right now or what has just happened.

The book I feel we need to read is what is happening in our life or what has happened.

My observation is that we tend to ignore what's happening or has happened in our life and read, listen and watch all sorts of other books, audio and video.

The text, audio and video we read, listen and watch can be great and very helpful, but it just may not be what we really just now.

Our life is always wanting to teach us something and if we don't pay attention to it we really miss the chance to learn so many valuable lessons.

Our life though is very forgiving, it repeats the lessons often, sometimes with a sprinkling of pain to intice us to learn the lesson this time round.

I think that we would want for ourselves to move on and learn many new and other kinds of lessons, not just fail to learn the same old lesson.

So in practice what I am doing is going over life and doing many retrospections picking up first of all the things I was told that I did wrong. Becoming conscious of the correction as deep as I can, reflecting deeply on it and resolving to change and put the correction into action.

Moving lessons into action is the start of integrating the lesson into ourselves. Repeated action brings more and more the lesson into our nature - thus slowly integrating it into ourselves.

If we were not corrected then see all that went wrong or was painful and then look for what caused that. There is a gem of a lesson waiting there for us to learn as well.

The thing that I am understanding is that if we don't deliberately focus on the events of our life that we live and have lived with the intention to extract learning, we are not going to learn anything, and all these learning opportunities will pass us by and we'll end making the same mistakes over and over again, sometimes with more pain.

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).
