Maturity of the Path's Fellow Companions - (2453)

To be a companion of others walking the path requires maturity. I would even say a spiritually oriented type of maturity.


As anyone walks the path, what is hidden to themselves and maybe to others, has to come out, and become as visible as necessary, for as long as necessary, so that it can be overcome.


On the path, what matters is that the hidden baggage we are carrying comes out. It doesn't matter so much how - only that it comes out.


Some stages of the path are too difficult to walk while being weighed down by hidden baggage. So the baggage must be dropped. 


People always get stuck on how the baggage comes out and on the nature of what is coming out. 


This is immaturity and the 'how' and 'what', is not what is important. What is important is that what comes out is overcome, transformed and dissolved.


People who lack maturity get disappointed, upset, lose faith and stop their own work...



The truth is we all have a lot of ugly hidden baggage that needs to come out, and be transformed into strength and light... 


It is all transitory, it is all about stages, it passes quickly to reveal something new and so on and so on. To get stuck is to be sleepy in our consciousness because we are forgetting our own Being and our own work.


Do we know what is hidden in us and has to come out yet? Have we worked enough to be able to handle what is hidden in us? 


To understand the above points is maturity.


An even greater degree of maturity is required, the closer we are to others walking the path. 


We as companions, are often directly affected by what comes out of the person walking the path or the person working seriously on themselves. 


This can be difficult to deal with and requires drawing on our own consciousness, work, virtues and strengths to transform and deal with it.


To be a companion, a friend of fatih, a brother or sister of the path, implicitly means to see a lot of darkness before the light shines and to go through a lot of hardship before easier times come along.


All of this requires SPIRITUAL maturity.


End (2453).

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).
