Favourites in a Gnostic Group

Favourites in a Gnostic Group - (4767)

Favourites in a Gnostic group is not an ideal situation as the other students may see this as unfair, and this can create a silent disharmony in some group members that can grow in time and become voiced disconcertedly depending on the level of Being of the group.

It's true in each group there are students who give more and then there are students who give less.

The injustice may be felt when there are students who give more and receive less and students who give less and receive more.

If an apparent favourite is doing a lot, and is doing what others don't want to do or can't then it is unfair of others to feel disdain towards that person. It is more fitting to comprehend instead.

From the work point of view, the favorites if not vigilant are in a disadvantaged situation. As if, they are not psychologically aware enough they can easily fatten their egos of pride and self-importance. This is something that is not often seen, because the fattening works slowly in time and is only really noticed when the impressions that fatten these egos stop.

Often, however not always, the favourites can develop a superiority over others not because they really are more conscious or more psychologically transformed, but because of being favoured they come to believe they are better.

That superiority can take the form of believing that others are not working on themselves, are making mistakes, are not so defined and in general it means distancing from others with an attitude of subtle superiority.

As with all attitudes of superiority in the mystical field one deceives oneself, believing oneself to be progressing but really one is strengthening egos that need to be dissolved and are becoming more difficult to dissolve as they are getting stronger.

The ones who are not favourites have the great chance if they feel hurt by this to work on pride and self-importance. As they are not receiving impressions that fatten these egos they can if they work make good headway in dissolving some facets of these egos.

There is good and bad in every situation. Somethings that may be good for the personality are not good for the essence and the work and vice versa.

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
