How to Change Our Way of Thinking - (5072)

General and the Particular

There are two angles from which to approach this question: from the general and the particular.


Starting with the general prepares for the particular.




General

The general all starts with changing the way we see ourselves. We always think, feel and act in accordance with what we see that we are. If we change the way we see ourselves we will change the way we think, feel and act. 


The change is to see ourselves as a soul - as a psychology. A psychology that is made up of many values that are the means of expression of our Spirit.


This means to see ourselves at every moment as an expression of these values. We are really an energy of our Being expressing through our psychology. Whether it be free expression of conditoined expression.


To change the way we think truly we need to be these values in actions. This is psychological and esoteric thinking. It is not human thinking.


To be these values we first need to know a few things. One is that we are also our attention and our consciousness. If our attention is absent our consciousness is absent and we are absent.


To know that we need to be present and have our attention on ourselves and outside of ourselves in the event is the foundation.


To know that with our attention present we can be the values is fundamental. 


The reality is that we are a mixture of light and darkness, and so two classes of elements will come to answer any event that we are in. One will be the ego and one the value of the essence. We being present with our attention in the moment will be able to choose.


If we know the values we can choose the right value to answer the event. When we answer with the values we are being our spirit.


To better see this new way of thinking we need contrast, which is to see how we normally think which is to think by virtue of our desires, to think in accordance with our mechanical conditioning, to think by virtue of our painful past, to just to do something whatever it be to get out of trouble, to get away with anything that we can that benefits us, to think that it doesn't matter if what we think makes us to do a few things wrong, etc. etc.


This change leads us to understand that we are responsible for our psychology and our internal states and that our fundamental role here in this life is to be a loyal expression of the values of our Inner Being.


Particular

As we observe each "I" or conditioning we will understand its way of thinking and feeling. When we know the what and the how it thinks we will be able to change its way of thinking to the opposite, or to something else altogether different that transcends that it. 


End (5072).

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).
