Points to Meditate on: 'Life and Death' Post 4 of 10: Our Place in the Vast Universe

Points to Meditate on: 'Life and Death' Post 4 of 10: Our Place in the Vast Universe - (4670)

We live in an almost infinite creation - which we call the universe. How vast is it? Where did it start and how far has it expanded and far will it expand to?

So many questions...the mind really takes off wondering...and the awe of the essence later quietens it.

The most relevant question to all of this is about knowing our place in the 'universe', or at least to honestly reflect upon it...

Below are maps made by human beings of the so called 'universe'...

The earth is not even a pixel on the first diagram, as one pixel is a galaxy. Imagine then what we are compared to the 'universe' - to the whole great reality of life.

The whole relative scale of life. We are insignificant, yet we have life, yet there exist more insignificant creatures on the Earth such as mosquitos. Yet we are significant in our house or neighbourhood.

What about if we were to go through life remembering the vastness of the universe and our relative insignificance, and bring that into our daily interactions with own selves and others? If we did it do it and we did it correctly, we would solve the paradox of relative significance - i.e. significant yet insignificant.

We would not feel so important and so many things would not be important yet to our inner universe we would know how important we are and how important it is to make our life an masterful work of art.

In conclusion such a meditation on the vastness of the universe would make us to concentrate on the how we can positively contribute to our inner universe instead and work to dissolve the outer importance.

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).
