The 'Topic' of Abandoning the Work: Part 1

The 'Topic' of Abandoning the Work: Part 1 - (4398)

A series of posts about this subject. With each post treating one point at a time.

One may think that such a post let alone a series of posts on this subject should not be written. However as we all know this topic is a reality.

People after showing much promise do abandon their spiritual studies. Perhaps if they had some advice available to them at the time they could have kept their ‘promise’ going.

The first point to make here is that all of us at some point or another have at least thought of abandoning the spiritual work and walking fully back into life. It is something in reality that does happen and it is something that we will face at some point.

It does not matter at which point, the beginning, the middle or end but what really matters is that we look sincerely at it and find the truth about it.

If we find the truth, I mean the real truth of it we will know what to do next.

I'm not going to suggest anybody to stay or leave what I would really advise people is to sincerely search and find out what is going on inside of ourselves. Take your time, relax and search within... Pressure or rush clouds our vision and decision making ability - so take your time.

I know and trust in the truth that once it is found it will lead and advise you by itself in a few seconds about what to do.

Ultimately, these states of contemplating abandoning our spiritual work become recurrences that we learn to recognise. They all have the same flavour and at the bottom are about the same or a very similar issue as previously encountered.

Certainly in all good faith to find out really what is going on and why we wish to abandon our spiritual studies is nothing harmful, there is nothing wrong about it. We do not have to tell anyone, do we?

If we find out why we wish to abandon our studies then our Being knows... Who is more important to say something about this to than our Being, the one to whom we are working humanly and spiritually for?

More posts will be written about this topic covering various other points.

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).
