Encounter the Lacking in Ourselves from the Negative

Encounter the Lacking in Ourselves from the Negative - (5926)

Knowing what we lack is an encounter with ourselves. Some may say it is an encounter with our shadow side. Either way it is to encounter ourselves.

Anyhow the point here is that what we lack will only come to our attention via the negative side of things.

Often the negative side of things could be a sarcastic comment, criticism, a reprimand, a fine, something not working out etc. etc.

All of those things are just helping us to encounter ourselves, that is, to see what we lack. At the end of the day it is all about ourselves and seeing ourselves.

Whatever people say about ourselves is always reminding us of ourselves. The happier we are to meet ourselves and make some adjustments, the less and less of a problem it is.

The more we see that we are not perfect and we are working and working on ourselves, the less upset we will be about having to see ourselves and the more we will appreciate it.

(If we are forced to see ourselves, that shouldn't really a problem because it is our own selves. We see ourselves every waking minute. We could have a problem being forced to see someone else that we are not interested in. That is fair enough. The problem is that we don't really want to see ourselves and we are not really that interested in ourselves. To love ourselves consciously is the key to dissolve self-love.)

This bit of understanding can really help us to weaken self-love and anger. Be happy to see the lack in ourselves through the negative, is the start to transform the negative and the lack into a strength and the into the very positive.

To see ourselves perfect is to love ourselves way too much in the impractical and painful sense. To see we are a huge work in progress is to love ourselves consciously.

To see others as a work in progress and we are all working towards fixing ourselves is to love other more consciously also. Expecting them to be perfect is insane and is a lack of maturity.

To see something as our fault when it truly is, is to see ourselves. Many of the lacks we have are our fault and the negative that comes our way is often our fault.

End (5926).

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...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
