Karmic Debts and How they are Paid on the Path and in the Work - (4916)

On the Path and in the Work

On the path and in the work our karmic debts are all about learning a lesson so that we don't repeat the error. As it is by the law of recurrence that we keep repeating our mistakes accruing more karmic debt.


If we affected others negatively in the past and we don't remember, and we don't know that we accrued some karmic debt, that is all fine, until we now are on the path or in the work and we want to dissolve our pride and anger that remarkably unknown to us, was precisely the elements in us that affected others negatively in the past. 


Then two things happen for that karmic debt to be paid. The first thing is that we get affected negatively and secondly it becomes very difficult to dissolve our pride and anger. We actually tend to strengthen our pride and anger instead. Hence we suffer greatly...as the circumstances become more difficult to bear...


We soon see that we can't continue like this for much longer so we try to do something to pay that karmic debt. We try to get closer to help those who affected us negatively. That doesn't work - things only get worse and our pride and anger get bigger now with resentment added on top.


Way to Pay and Learn at the Same Time

Then what to do?


We know by virtue of the teachings that karma on the path is about learning a lesson and that lesson is learnt by consciously developing a value that we come to understand is the best solution to the difficult circumstances that life throws at us. As we develop it, it becomes a part of us so that we will naturally answer with that value and not make the same mistake again in the future.


The big question is: what is the value?


The value is hidden in the circumstances themselves...


What others are doing to us, we must do the opposite to them. If for example they are gossiping about us we must not gossip about them but remain quiet and be magnanimous, don't allow any internal judgment to be made about them. Send them understanding and good will.


That's the formula either do the opposite of what others are doing to us that negatively affects us or do the opposite of what our egos want us to do to them in these trying circumstances. 


In Case we Reject the Value/Lesson...

We find the value and we don't want to give it. Oh well we still have to pay - back to paying with pain.


Pain gets too much ok let's pay with the value. A little later on, we see that we still don't want to give it. 


Then we have an experience seeing what we did and we see how merciful really the Divine Law has been and we then decide to pay with the value to benefit and repair the relationship with ourselves and others.


How stupid have we been is the main thought and how merciful is the Divine Law and our Inner Being.


We see that our Karma wants our awakening and the realisation of our Inner Being... Before that we saw it as a misfortune, a curse or random egoical non-sense...


Then we gladly develop the value not caring about our thoughts and feelings as to who is right and who is wrong.

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).
