Transform Reprimands - (5062)

The same "I" of pride that likes to reprimand is the same one that rebels against the authority of others.


If we like to reprimand others it is truly difficult that we stand being reprimanded by others.


In Gnosis we unknowingly create a lot of pride because we think we know better and more...yet in reality we are the same, hence the pride to believe that we are something that we are not.


If we don't like being reprimanded we need to work directly on pride.


There is a pride within us, that believes that our way of things is best or ok. 


There is no doubt we find reprimands unfair and for that reason we protest and swirm will be receiving one. 


In retrospect we say to ourselves: 'if only there was that element of love I could of handled it a lot better'. 


That is an interesting and very useful clue. It is the sense of being harmed by another person directing a harmful force towards us against beyond our right to be respected (treated fairly).



Of course what we consider respectful needs some examination as well. It could be that we are too sensitive and protective of ourselves...


It all depends on the way we interpret the reprimand. The sense of being harmed is our interpretation. The work is to help us change that interpretation to one of being illuminated or helped in our psychological work.


I have heard some Gnostics who really work on themselves say: "I need problems, bring to me so that I can work more, I need to die in myself." Such an attitude has already transformed all the reprimands.


The tendency is to answer reprimands with reprimands. That is mechanical and not helpful for our work. It escalates things into an argument.


We can jump ahead of reprimands by accepting quickly with consciousness what is being highlighted.


Working with reprimands is all about the speed of the consciousness and the capacity to accept with consciousness for the benefit of the enhancement of the consciousness.


We also learn that we must not identify with the tone or right that the other person is taking to be critical of us. No identification with their facial expressions or gazes either, but full attention to our consciousness to see what is true and beneficial to our consciousness in what they are saying. 


If something does not serve our consciousness it is a simple matter of discarding and forgetting...


A help to transform receiving reprimands is to transform them it into gratitude and being thankful for the advice or light shone on our psychology.


As soon as we say thank you - we have transformed something to do with it.


End (5062).

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).
