An Urge is a Notification NOT a Command

An Urge is a Notification NOT a Command - (6003)

Often the urges or impulses that we experience are disguised as commands or taken as commands.

They are after all just thoughts with a bit of emphasis.

If we let them go they will pass.

The very interesting thing is that the urges come for a reason and this is something worth looking into. They often come to cover up some uncomfortable feeling. That is their cause and the issue is not to do what they say, it is to avoid that uncomfortable feeling.

An urge is not a command it is notifying us that there is something that we are trying to avoid or that we feel uncomfortable.

We are quite surprised how often we feel uncomfortable.

The remedy here is then to hold out serenely though the urge to see what it is that it is coming to make us avoid.

For example, the urge to constantly snack is covering something up... Maybe it is boredom and maybe that boredom comes from some kind of an unhappiness. Anyhow it is due to something...

One should keep an urge or distraction log. It is so interesting what we find. There are pattens in the nature of the urges as well as patterns to do with times of day and month in which they repeat.

This seems a little silly but it actually shines light on our psychology.

To finish, we all have will power. There is no one that has zero will power. If it looks as though a person has zero will power it is just that their will power is conditioned and we haven't observed them in the right environment yet...

Will power is something that we spend and drain in different environments and becasue of that we end up finding ourselves lacking will. The important thing with will power is not really generating more of it, it is about saving it.

End (6003).

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...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
