Centre of Gravity in Mind Pros and Cons

Centre of Gravity in Mind Pros and Cons - (4460)

Everything has its pros and its cons, and that changes from which point of view you look at it from. But still everything has its pros and cons...

Say if we are to look at this question of the centre of gravity in the mind from the point of view of the work we see that its pros are that we will read and study all of the doctrine. Understanding it is another matter but we would have read it all and have put it into our intellect. Which is a big help.

The cons are that the mind will by default take the lead. It will via its patterns, concepts and logic block and take the place of the consciousness and because of the belief, trust and pride that has grown for the mind over the years it will be the one turned to instead of the heart (where also the consciousness and the Being in us is). The heart will be seen often as inefficient, unpractical and a little naïve or even a bit silly and childish.

There are many cultures in the world that in general have their centre of gravity in the mind...

It is difficult for such people to experience the 'real' or the esoteric unless they use drugs or something out of the ordinary happens to them. Because the mind always blocks the unfolding of any esoteric experience. Also being always in the mind one is never so happy and so no wonder why there is so much drug use in the western countries, which are all efforts to get out of the mind to experience 'happier' emotions, using something external to turn off their mind, instead of going to and cultivating the heart.

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).
