Right Power is Right Knowing and Right Doing - (5715)

The use of power has great potential. It can do so much good or harm. Therefore, It can bring us much future happiness or suffering.

We all have some power in some area or direction. Even if it is just to do with a broom cupboard or the laundry sink cupboard.

In fact, as human beings we have power in our word which gives us some pwoer in the world (life) and power within ourselves. We also have power in our consciousness and sexual energy, which gives us power inside of ourselves, which can be projected outside of ourselves into the world.

Power goes along with dignity, majesty and balance. However, power used with balance brings dignity and majesty.

What is within the balanced used of power? The balanced use can also be known as the right use.

The right use of power comes from the right knowing and the right doing. Right doing comes from right knowing. 

We have to know what is the right way to use our power. To know the right way to use our power, we must know the wrong use. The wrong use is anything that humilates, puts down or is a diservice to ourselves or others.

The interesting thing is, the more we have been subjected to the wrong use before in life, we get to know the right use. 

We often misuse our power as parents or children or husband and wife, even as friends, mangers and co-workers by humilating and doing others a diservice.    

The right use of power is edifying and honest. Sometimes that is very difficult to fulfill given the always deep complexity of the many situations we find ourselves in. Someone will always feel 'hard done bye'...

The general rule is that if others fear us because of our use of power, then we have gotten something wrong in our use of power. If someone uses their power with justice there is no need to fear them. Because justice will mostly always prevail. If we can see justice in the situation then we will agree with the perosn who has the authority. If we don't agree, maybe we have a short sighted or narrow view of justice, and therefore we stand to learn something... Or either the person with the power has to learn something, or perhaps both parties stand to learn something.

Knowing comes from the consciousness and it is the start of power. The next step is to actuate that knowing with action. 

A security guard may know that that person over there is the boss, and has great power within the company. That knowing will then allow the security guard to give the boss full access to the building. Most good bosses became the boss by using his or her power through knowing and action, to become the boss that they are.

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).
