Life and the Path don't Understand Each Other - (4169)

The following post is about teh contrast between the path and life. That is really the contrast between the vertical (the path) and the horizontal (life).


This post comes mostly from my expereince nad reflection from my experience. There are also some statements put in that have come from others.


The path and life have differing perspectives on things. To be expected right? Of course. Why? Because both have different ends and natures. This is logical. 


What is right for the path is wrong for life and what is wrong for life is right for the path.


What matters for life doesn't matter for the path. What matters for the path does not matter for life.


Furthermore when trying to marry life and the path, one hits a brick wall. Why? Because both life and the path see things differently.


Why do they see things differently? Because they embody different values.


Different values means different priorities which translates to investing our time and energies into different activities. 


It seems that life and the path can't marry. Because they are too incompatible. Life should marry life and the path should marry the path. 


Life and the path are where? They are in people, no where else. A person with a lot of life should not marry a person with a lot of path, because they will always disagree. The one of teh path has to become more life or the one of more life has to become more path otherwise never ending disagreement.


Life and the path can be balanced instead of marrying or uniting. Balancing them is the key. We can only ever the path one and then walk the balance within the chosen option of the path. 


We are taught in fact that one choses the path and has life inside the path. To chose life and fit the path into our life we are taught does not allow one to live the path, which is the only way the path is to be walked - by living it. The path is our life Master Samael says.


The path we are taught is walked by living it! Rather than by living life and fitting the path into life -  like a hobby or a pass time or as one would go to the gym. This is becasue the values of the path have to integrate into the person and once integrated they are in you they are a part of your life. We can't say I'm just going to put aside the path and be an animal and then put the path back in again. That's not living the path. The path will leave us if we do that, because we left it, and there is no space for it to come into us again. We have to wait and work to create that space again.


We are taught one lives the path or not. We are taught that there is not a horizontal path, that is an esoteric horizontal whichis really life with a flavour of the esoteric or spiritual, but a dedicated vertical path (the path) that incorporates our life.


End (4169).

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).
