Anger from Being Right and Virtuous

Anger from Being Right and Virtuous - (217)

The anger to do with being portrayed as NOT right and or NOT virtuous can be intense.

This is often called the anger of righteousness.

Because anger is involved it si mechanical.

Mechanical righteousness is when assume we are correct or virtuous. Often this assumption is something of an error that brings anger to defend and convince others that we are right or virtuous.

As often is the case, anger gets it wrong and misses the point totally.

The point about being right and virtuous, is that it is not virtuous or right to get angry and coerce others into believing that we are right or virtuous (kind caring, honest etc.).

The thing that anger misses is that being right and virtuous all resides in looking intensely as to where we could be wrong and where we could be lacking virtue. This is precisely where being right and virtuous live within us - that is to correct where we are wrong and lacking virtue.

We never have to defend or convince others about what we have - it simply appears for all to see. We often use anger (force without reason or truth) to try and convince of others about what we don't have.

Our conscious balance in relation to being right and virtuous is to be looking more for where we may be wrong or lacking in virtue.

It is this same righteousness in us that can not stand others speaking about virtues and leaves the class room in disdain.

This mechanical righteousness becomes cynical and skeptical of others who speak about virtues or act with some virtue.

This mechanical righteousness always believes the virtues in others to be false and it also finds satisfaction in exposing the limits of the virtues in others.

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).
