So Many Ways to be Under Life

So Many Ways to be Under Life - (4771)

There are really so many ways that we can fall under the hypnotism of life and materialism.

Many of those ways are not directly related to possessions and money.

Normally our way of being under life and materialism depends highly on our psychological structure. Our principal psychological profile (P.P.P) determines the way we go into materialism, that is the way we relate to matter. For example if pride is our p.p.p then materialism will serve our pride, in the way of the more and the best.

We may renounce possessions and have only what we need and only work to acquire the money we need, and no more. Yet we can certainly be under the hypnotic grip of life and materialism.

Working too much. Very busy with unnecessary movements and changes, over organising things, continued worry about people and things, over-researching things, continual or excessive planning of things, continual fixing of things, continual thinking of outside improvements, constant social engagements in person or online, frequent travel and outings, continual creating of problems with the necessity that they be solved, constant to-do lists etc. etc.

All of the above things are not so much about money and possession yet they are about matter, as they are all about moving and organising matter. They are good skills yes and need to be transferred into the psychological and spiritual spheres.

In the end, any way that we are under life and materialism, the result is the same, which is to ignore the spirit and be more dedicated to and trusting in matter.

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).
