Flying Pen - Essence, Ego and Personality - (5019)

Little Story Introduction

A little story showing how the conditioning of life works.


It shows how powerful the conditioning of life is, what aim it has and how it works on us. 


From the beginning we saw things innocently with the essence, then later something changed that innocent vision to 'see' something else. The long and tiring experience of that 'something else' sparked an awakening to recover the innocent view but with a difference. This difference being consciousness.  


Flying Metal Pen

When we first get on a plane, it is exciting. We are in the moment! We are excited to travel, explore and enjoy our new destination. 

At the same time there is a sense of awe about how such a big 'metal pen with wings' filled with so many people and their luggage is going to take off and maintain itself in the air for so long and travel at such a high speed. It all of a sudden seems so precarious a situation…

It is so novel, it is not our everyday experience and it is so interesting and amusing. Pondering why we and these people in particular are sharing a relatively small room together for a number of hours is something really interesting. 

We are given a debrief on what to do in an emergency and we think deep down I hope it doesn't happen then something replies its not going to happen it happened before somewhere else but not now to us.

In conclusion here there is that wonderful excitement of being in the moment yet there is the at awareness of how interesting and precarious a situation is .


Life Sets In

After the miracle takeoff we are flying and we look inside the cabin and we see the glossy magazines, with shiny high end products to purchase and dream of, we see a vast collection of movies and entertainment to chose from and a menu of drinks that comfort us to order from.

There are the flight attendants of which one we find a little fascinating, there are the amusing fellow passengers to observe, the comfortable chairs to recline and the noise cancelling headphones to feel right at ease, the snack and the meals to look forward to. 

Then there's the wild ocean with no-one around, 33,000 feet directly below.


Forget and Sink into Comfort

Then we just forget the ocean, the precariousness, the preciousness of life and its every moment, and we just focus on the comfort or on forgetting. 

We then start to dream falling asleep to the precariousness. Even fear lulls us further into the sleep of our consciousness. Slowly we forget our initial view and concentrate on the drink, entertainment and people. We complain when things are not to our liking and we wish that the pilot would push the plane a little harder to get there quicker and now we are fully seeing something that was novel and awe inspiring as a 'run of the mill' human experience.


Conclusion

The conditioning of life works over the top of the view of the essence and its starts by us focusing on the comfort and the ease of things taking us to the mere human. It's the impressions of comfort that buffer reality that cause us to sleep and is the 'conditioning of life'.

The conscious transformation of this experience is that the precariousness and danger of flying is known and felt without fear yet not forgotten, while the comforts are enjoyed but not to the extent of forgetting or denying with wrong thinking the implicit danger and awe.  


End (5019).

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).
