Get Out of Poverty

Get Out of Poverty - (6023)

This is an important topic for people, especially in countries where there is physical poverty.

When we are in circumstances of physical poverty it is very difficult to work on ourselves.

Truly it is difficult to start the work in such conditions and it is even difficult while we are already working on ourselves.

To work on ourselves while in poverty would mean a very dramatic change in lifestyle and change in life circumstances.

We tend to think being poor is a really good condition to work on ourselves. For a certain time it really is. However for a prolonged duration it really isn't.

It is also very difficult to work on ourselves being very internally poor. This is how most of us start the work on ourselves. Physically well provided for but internally poor.

Even though we are poor physically and internally there is always something that we have that we can make use of. This is the good news.

In general karma is not totally merciless. The karma always gives us a tool of some kind to endure it and away to lessen the load if we so choose.

We have to start to work where we are and how we are.

Why? Because we enter into a very instinctive way of living where we become totally consumed with worries about how we are going to make it through the next week. Some people call it survival mode, where in that state there is no room to think about our soul or to even think rationally.

Like everything in this world there is a reason for poverty. It is not a random curse.

It is not a random or unfair misfortune. Though I wouldn't say this to anyone suffering from poverty.

The question of poverty comes down to the same principles of give and take, dharma and karma.

The insensitive thing is to say to a person that you are poor because of your karma. The sensitive and helpful thing to say is to offer teachings to get out of poverty.

The teachings to get out of poverty include addressing the main principles of giving, working honestly hard, raising the level of the Being.

Here are the main points on a high level:

• Raise the level of Being.

• Give as much as possible in any way that is possible so as to be helped with opportunities to change circumstances.

• Cultivate and transmute the sexual energy.

• Work on dissolving fear, pride, lust, laziness and vices such as drinking.

• Work in actively developing as much good qualities as possible.

• Relate well to money. Use it wisely, hold onto it for the future for future necessities.

• Go to work and don't wait for hand outs.

What keeps us poor is a low level of Being due to lust, not giving and stealing due to pride and loosing the sexual energy as well as resorting to witch doctors and the like which increase our karma.

End (6023).

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...

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...

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...
