Survival Mode Escape

Survival Mode Escape - (6039)

It seems that this way of living is an experience so common in Africa. So many experience the situation where there is not enough money and the means to get money narrow down to apparently nothing right in front of one's own eyes.

Then the preoccupations begin. I need this amount of money to live and I have no way to get it.

Then the nervous system alters and we enter into an instinctive way of living called 'survival mode' where we are only concerned about surviving nothing else.

In such a mode we don't have space for anything else. We are all consumed by the need to survive which means get money, and then if we can't get money it means securing or finding food and shelter.

The survival mode is highly characterised by hyper focus on the physical means of getting money now. The other dimensions of life are erased from awareness. One forgets the Great Provider of all things - the Being. One also forgets the cosmic laws of giving and receiving and the many practices to work with our karma.

In survival mode one says: "how can I focus on God when I have nothing to eat!".

Focusing on the physical means entirely with no opportunities to make money forthcoming, leads to crime.

It is a storm like everything else and will too pass. The key is to not get identified as hard as it may be and to remember above all else the Inner Being and to go about physical recourses to solve the situation.

Often the essn3ece of such karmic situations are for us to learn the lesson to focus on the essential and maintain ourselves there in balance, and see all the unintelligent (living outside of our means) and perhaps dishonest behaviours that lead to the 'no money' situation.

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...
