When Instinct Comes to Solve - (4947)

Introduction

This post is a little bit about the instinctive centre and the conditions in which it is most active.


Known Already

We know that the centres of our human machine work as follows: Intellect (thinking) then Emotion (feeling) then Movement (acting, speaking etc.). Where is the instinctive centre in this flow?


An Observable Function

Here below is an explanation of where the instinctive centre comes into the flow mentioned above.


When we have a difficult situation to solve and after numerous attempts and many efforts of the intellect, emotion and action, there is still no solution or overall improvement, the instinctive centre then comes to help.


The point of this post is that one of the instinctive centre's functions is to come to the aid of the other centres when they can not relieve or solve a certain situation that is ill affecting our state of well-being.


The instinctive centre gives the other centres a certain amount of time before it appears. Interesting to see how the centres co-operate via a certain natural order and timing.


It is also interesting to note that the solution of the instinctive centre ends indecision, procrastination and vagueness. It is always very definite in nature.


A common example is that one may feel nervous and if the efforts of the intellect, emotion and action can not displace the nervous state in a certain time frame, the instinctive centre begins to do it, by either running, fidgeting, excessive talking, toilet, vomiting, in other words by overwhelmingly activating some of the instinctive functions of the body.


Activities such as drinking alcohol excessively, taking drugs, indulging in sexual activity for reasons other than transmutation are solutions to stressful circumstances that come from the heavy instinctive side of the egos of alcohol, drugs (partying) and lust.


Often violence appears as an instinctive solution to a severe injustice that ill-affects ourselves and others when that injustice has persisted beyond all attempts to peacefully solve it.


Three Modes of Instinctive Action

Going back to the example above, the instinctive centre solves the increasing and sustained unease in the human machine by resorting to roughly the methods given below.


1.) Taking us out of the stressful circumstances. 

2.) Making us to fight or protest, complain, argue to remove the elements that are creating the stress.

3.) Shutting us down, by provoking intense spells of drowsiness or fainting. 

4.) Trying all of the above in roughly the order given above.

5.) Something very uniquely intelligent, which could range from a very intelligent (astute) reason which serves one of the above methods, such as a very good excuse to leave the event. It could also be something uniquely intelligently positive, that is a new solution that is good for all involved.


In the last method the instinctive centre employs the help of the other centres - mostly the intellect to think up a crafty excuse, and in the best case the consciousness listens to the urgent message of the instinctive centre and produces a win-win situation for all involved.


Let's remember that the most intelligent of all the centres is the instinctive centre.


Summary

In summary, one of the many functions of the instinctive centre is solve persistent stressful situations when the efforts of the other centres fail. The way the instinctive centre solves stressful situations is via these three basic ways:


1.) Flight or Fight

2.) Shutting Down

3.) Instinctive Intelligence 


Sometimes these ways permanently solve the situation other times they are only temporary relievers of stress.

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).
