Issue of Mystical Pride

Issue of Mystical Pride - (4180)

Mystical pride is a little scary how it can close the path off for a person. To the point where the person themselves will close the door to the path they so yearn for.

To feel that we know it all already, and that we shouldn't have to wait to receive the advanced teachings that we yearn for. To feel that we are ready now and we should be in the advanced classes already because of what we know from other studies, that are not Gnosis, is mystical pride.

It would be so simple... Apply what has been taught and exercise patience which is everything in every place of life and requires deep self-knowledge, would be all that is required to overcome the first layer of mystical pride and get what one yearns for...

Many newcomers to Gnosis face this obstacle in some way or another. It seems the more knowledge or data rather, the newcomer has the more difficult it is.

To think that the age old tradition of neophyte, chela, apprentice, initiate, master, guru and so on, no longer applies for the path is mistaken.

All one has to do, is to look deeper into the knowledge they are receiving and apply it. Applying it sets it all right!

Mystical pride mixed with the doctrines of many modern day 'spiritual', 'healing' and psychic beliefs creates a mixture (Kalkian personality) which is mistaken and impedes us from seeing our own reality.

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).
