Working the Personality Notes 1 - (4570)

Introduction

Objective of these three posts (4570. 4595 and 4598) is to highlight why we don't transfer our values into the work and why we keep them in the personality.


Disclaimer

If any points in this or other post hurt or offend it is the personality reacting.


Background

Purpose of the personality is 'to do' life well in time and in space. In and for life it is great, but in the spiritual work it is a real interference. 


Gnosis teaches us that the personality needs to be pacified and later dissolved so that our essence can awaken and relate directly to the Inner Being without any interference.


Interferes with the Work

In general the personality interferes with the work by transferring the patterns of life and the personality onto the work. Where they do not match and how we add things and do things because of the personality that are not esoterically correct.


Examples of how the personality interferes with the work. Examples per centre. Life is what we do in our centres. 


Intellectual Centre

Reading magazine type articles and watching YouTube and Facebook type videos frequently.

Researching things to buy using up lots of time.

Always planning and organizing life movements, activities, trips, finances etc.

Intellectual exaggeration of concern for appearances - body image and social standing etc. Being intellectually stuck in the importance of those factors. Thinking excessively and obsessively over them.

No esoteric way of thinking - only physical blocks of matter way of thinking. 

Can't see or conceive ourselves as an essence. 

Doesn't allow us to think outside of time. 

Doesn't allow us to look up at the stars, we are too busy with earthly personality things.

Does not allow us to see our past and our future beyond this life. 

Superficial view of life always. Is adamant about there being nothing more profound or beyond our way of life.

The way the personality thinks makes us to make many esoteric mistakes. As the personality way of thinking is wrong for the path.  


Emotional Centre

Feeling humiliated as a person. 

Sentimental emotional values which do not foster change or seeing a person's reality.

Personality does not allow disinterested love. Loves only for a purpose. 

Feels disinterested and bored in the spirit. 

Blocks the superior emotions of and for the Being. 

It's identified with the things in matter. 


Motor Centre

Doing lots of things, so busy, agitated, it does not mediate nor pray. 

Can't sit still to practice. 

Feels so uneasy - things have to be done and tidy to be at peace.

Does not allow us to trust the Being. It goes out there and does all these things.


Instinctive Centre

Comforts, senses, taking everything with the senses, culture, food types, traditions of family, religious, certain things outside of pour religious background don't feel right. 

Can only accept certain foods and and our particular likes.

The works feels unnatural or wrong. Security. 

Blocks us from accepting the traditions and ways of Gnosis. 

Does not allow us to chose solar activities over lunar activities.


Sexual Centre

Can only activate the sexual centre and energy given a number of conditions. Chocolates, music, colours, clothes, body types, hair, deep voice, soft voice, tall, short all those types of things.


End (4570).

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).
