Notes on Solving Problems

Notes on Solving Problems - (5308)

Gnosis gives a very good set of pointers to do with solving problems.

This post is just a short list of some points to do with what Gnosis says about solving problems.

Don't worry there are meant to be problems to solve in life. Life is a series of continuous problems.

Life is about solving problems.

The attitude we have towards solving problems is a determinant factor. For problems inside of us to disappear we basically we have to become someone who loves facing and solving problems. Then a problem is not a 'problem' anymore. There are people in life in fact who really love and make a living off solving problems.

Most professions are about solving some kind of a problem or another. A doctor solves our health problems, an engineer solves a company's technology, electrical and mechanical problems, a cleaner solves the mess problems etc. etc.

Problems are relative. What is a problem for me is not a problem for you. Some things we call problems are not problems. For example, we are hungry and we are at home and our fridge is full of food and yet we say there's nothing to eat - that's not a problem, just open the fridge and make something to eat. If we were on the streets, with no money and where to live and we are hungry then that's a problem.

Many people are in jail because they solved their problems or a problem using the wrong means or in the wrong way or while they were in the wrong internal state.

The solutions that are of value in life are the solutions that are arrived at by applying the Law of Three.

The consciousness is excellent at solving problems and finding solutions.

The mind is not very good. It takes a long time and wastes so much energy trying. Many times if the mind finds a solution, it only holds for a couple of days.

The real solution comes when the mind is not thinking about finding a solution. In other words like what Master Samael expressed: "we solve problems by forgetting them".

Every problem is sustained by the mind. When the mind forgets the problem the problem is gone.

Every problem has two opposing poles. The solution lies in reconciling these two opposite poles. Hence the Law of Three. That is what the Law of Three does so well. It balances or reconciles the opposites. We need a bit of consciousness to do this.

A problem is a drama and it has a beginning, a peak and then an end. This is the law of problems. They all always follow the same pattern.

Changing centres is an excellent, simple and practical way of solving problems.

Problems basically afflict our intellect with worries and our emotion with anxiety, tension, loss and fear...

When the intellect is worried engage the motor centre. When the emotional centre is anxious engage the motor centre.

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...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
