Relate to Bothersome Thoughts Like Butterflies and Fluff

Relate to Bothersome Thoughts Like Butterflies and Fluff - (4231)

While we have the ego, we have the subconscious and we have to know for ourselves the best way to relate to the bothersome thoughts that these two factors generate.

The best way I have found is to see these thoughts and give them the least importance. Definitely see them and recognise them but don't think a single thought more about them. Certainly do not fight them or counteract them or get scared, worried or bothered by them. Treat them as if they were butterflies flying ever so lightly from one tree to the next.

To be worried about them or give them importance makes them a problem and something we have to fight against and that fighting against them only strengthens them and makes things worse for us. Being worried about them brings them more into our mind as does being scared of them. If we give them importnace it is like we are giving the absurd validity. If someone says something stupid it is so obvious is invalid that it does not warrant us or anyonme else paying it attention, well the same with these thoughts. We should not give them importance or our attention. That makes them valid and our mind sees that and keeps them longer in our mind.

If you as soon as one of these thoughts appears, just go totally silent around it and let it go ever so quietly and gently. If it persists just keep doing exactly the same thing as many times as it takes. Imagine it to be a piece of light fluff that the wind blows onto your jacket. You then gently pick it up off your jacket and let the wind carry it off out of your fingers. We have to do exactly the same thing with these thoughts.

This really helps...

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).
