Compensating for Psychological Imbalance

Compensating for Psychological Imbalance - (4179)

Psychological balance rules so much of our lives.

We are always engaged in some sort of psychological balance seeking activity.

When something no matter how small or big happens to us, our psychological balance is affected.

When we are unable to immediately return to balance within ourselves, we strongly tend to quickly go outside of ourselves to seek that psychological balance.

For example, we may receive criticism which surpasses our concept of what is constructive, and so we feel unfairly treated and inwardly we are out of balance. Unable to balance that inner imbalance, we return fire, until we see the criticising party is somewhat diminished and sorry for their words. As soon as this is happens we feel inwardly balanced again.

That is how we roll, all day and every day.

How to find balance within without having to go outside, is a really good question, and is one that in order to die in certain egos such as pride and anger we need to answer.

Suppressing our outside movements to find balance won't help. It will create more imbalance within, which will implode or explode one day soon.

To find that inner balance within ourselves we need to appeal to higher values within us. These are the actions of comprehending the other person, the action of looking sincerely within to find the truth being presented, the action of staying calm and trusting that the flow of life will bring compensation a little alter on when appropriate, the action of faith in our work to transform it and grow stronger because of it etc. etc.

In conclusion, the crux of this question about inner balance is that to balance ourselves psychologically we need to regain balance via superior psychological values not inferior ones. This way we achieve a stronger balance with a touch more consciousness.

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
