Dharma and Karma in Countries - (5840)

Psychological Atmosphere

The dharmic or karmic environment of a country really helps us to learn different qualities. 

Each country has a certain psychological environment, which is largely determined by the dhamric/karmic character of the country.

Within that psychological environment are many opportunities to develop qualities which maybe new for us. That is why we often have to remove ourselves from different environments and enter new ones to develop certain qualities.

We actually all do these often in life through different scenarios and circumstances, through different people and events.

Different Countries

As far as countries go, living in a different country allows us to see better the psychological environment of the new country and better understand the psychological atmosphere of the old country.

In South Africa, the psychological atmosphere is such that one can learn much about balance through several different areas and levels. 

Some of those areas are: equality of opportunity, management of resources, intellect and action, charity greed and fear, life priorities, compassion, community, God and survival... Some of those levels are the personal, the family, the social and the national.

All of this is possible in South Africa because of the karma and culture that the country has. 

South Africa is a place where you can open your heart. It in fact, forces you to. This is at first strange, how such a karmic environment can be good for spiritual development, yet it turns out that for some individuals it can be very good. When there are lacks there are opportunities to be filled with true values of the soul. 

Australia, is a very dharmic country in comparison to South Africa. That dharma allows certain qualities, yet hinders others, just as karma does. The dharma in Australia allows one to study spirituality yet the karma in Africa hinders it, because it is so difficult to devote to God when you and your family have no food to eat.

The Dharma in Australia makes everyone ok and independent because of having money to look after themselves through professional services. This in time becomes a kind of selfishness. Because everyone has money, meaning there are less people in need to readily give to and everyone essentially has the means to look after themselves. Hence why many Aussies may not even have spoken to their neighbours for years, all because we are all ok and charity plus community is not a pressing need. We can all look after ourselves. While in Africa due to the abounding poverty and consequent crime, charity and community are needed.

In the end, the atmosphere of Australia does not stimulate us to open our heart. Our heart can in fact stay however it is, because there is not that need for it to open and to reach out for meaningful and deeper connection, because the environment does not demand it, making it a voluntary choice. (It is also true that as soon as we chose something new doors open for many opportunities.)

These are some differences, which are good to know so that we can take advantage of, for our inner growth. Australia offers us the stability, time and finances to create a space to work on ourselves, while Africa offers us opportunities to open our heart, learn a lot about balance in many different levels and work on giving and dissolving fear.

  1. Thank you for such a beautiful perspective of South Africa and it's karma. There is always good in the bad, and bad in the good. It is wonderful that you are opening your heart instead of turning a blind eye and making the most of this opportunity.

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).
