Gnosis Seems too Negative to People

Gnosis Seems too Negative to People - (4763)

I have heard many people say that.

In reality Gnosis is knowledge which is neither negative nor positive. So Gnosis is not negative. It is just the way that it is presented or the way it is perceived and the way it is taken.

Knowledge does not harm or injure anybody. It is all how it is used as to what happens next. If that be benefit or injury of some kind.

The negative - that is the 'bad ego', is often focused on a lot in Gnosis, because that is what is the cause of so many problems and so much suffering. There are many people that focus on the light and forget the ego, yet they still suffer and cause problems to themselves and others. The key is to work on both the darkness and the light. There is that definite empahsis on the 'ego' just so that people do not fall into the trap of focussing on the light alone.

What happens is that empahsis is often taken out of context and we make the mistake of only focussing on the dissolving the ego and that inevitably makes us bitter.

The work of dissolution is a large part of the work. However that does not have to be negative. The work of dissolving the "I" is about doing the opposite and giving the values which is really affirming the essence within us - which certainly is not negative.

It could well be that people present Gnosis in an unbalanced way, that is with too much of a negative tone - how so much is wrong with people and society, how corrupt it is and how taken over by sleeping consciousness it is... Yet tehre is so much beauty in the world and human beings as well...

If we affirm the Inner Being in us, Gnosis can be presented realistically as showing the problem and straight away showing the solution which immediately gives hope, light and faith in possibility instead of everything being doomed to failure.

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).
