Instinctive Limit

Instinctive Limit - (4867)

What is the instinctive limit?

We can see this from different angles. One angle is looking at it from the point of view of the instinctive centre and the psychological "I".

The heaviest side of any vice or psychological defect is the instinctive side. Anger has an instinctive side, greed does, as does gluttony and lust, not to mention fear, and it is this side that is very intense.

A strong defect pushes right to the limit of the instinctive centre. When that instinctive limit is reached something happens that the ego backs down.

For example, we may drink or eat until we feel sick and then something happens within us, like a kind of an inner agreement or handshake and then the ego of gluttony calms down and goes and we don't feel like drinking or eating anymore.

This is either because the ego is programmed to be satisfied once this instinctive limit is reached or either the consciousness in the instinctive centre dispels the ego. Maybe it is both factors at work which work together to make the ego go.

Some people have slighter instinctive limits than others while others have a greater instinctive limit.

The instinctive limit that we have is in many ways due to our level of the Being and our history of training or 'mistraining' the instinctive centre.

There could also be other factors as well that contribute to making our instinctive limit the way that it is. One such factor could be the amount of available energy that we have and the amount of cosmic vital values or bobbyn kandel nochs that we have in our human machine.

Karma does something mysterious with our instinctive limit. IT increases it so that we can stay paying our karma...

The practical conclusion to this post is: 1.) to know our instinctive limit, 2.) work to not approach it and 3.) work to understand why it is the way it is and then work to modify it by raising our level of the Being.

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).
