Facing Horrifying Thoughts

Facing Horrifying Thoughts - (5880)

When we are in a negative state, and sometimes not in a negative state, we can experience very negative thoughts, that easily scare and shock us. We often think: "how can I be thinking that!", "what is going on, how did such negativity come to be insinde of me?".

What happens is that the thoughts pass and afterall they are just thoughts and we return to normal. What though is the worst thing about the whole experience of very negative thoughts, is not knowiung what to do with them and leaving what thought them unexamined.

If there are very negative thoughts, we can think immediately to what the opposite of them is, and straight away know within us that we have the power of the opposite within us. Those scary thoughts are the very opposite of the beauty we have within before there were the negative thoughts. Let's see an example.

For example, a very cruel, senseless and callous thought appears, the opposite is kindness, care, support, protection which is what we actually have in our essence, but has since become partly conditoned in the opposite, somehow and for some reason along the way.

As soon as we see that, we know where the negative thought comes from, and that it is the opposite of our innate qualities of our essence.

The thing to do next is to focus on the opposite to the negative thought and use the contrast to choose and shed more light within. One thing we often see when we do this is that the negative thought is telling us to be more of the opposite, which for eh example above was to be more kind, caring, supportive and protective.

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).
