To Know when We Will Die

To Know when We Will Die - (6042)

One of the most important things to know in life is when we are going to die.

Why?

Because until then we think we have time.

We resist wanting to know when we are going to die, because we like to think that we have time yet, because we know that as soon as we know - then we won't have time.

Our life loses that dream-like romantic feeling.

To not have time is stressful and scary, and implies great responsibility.

Being asleep we know that we evade responsibility and we can't be blamed, becasue we simply don't 'know.

To know when means to accept what is realistic about where we can reach, instead of romantic wishful thinking.

Accepting the when changes everything. The coals of the fire in our belly can receive extra heat to burn brighter for the long final battle of this life.

When we know when, we have the responsibility on our shoulders of having to do something serious or not. To decide to do something serious or not, is a weighty decision, one not to be taken lightly and one if taken in jest, will can cause great lament.

To think we have time is an illusion. Our end date is already written and the only time we have is 'now'.

When we know when, we can die consciously. We can prepare and we have the greatest opportunity of life which is to be as ready as we can be for that final stage.

If all of our life is driven to take us to the exact moment and cause of our destined death it makes sense that it is one of the most important things to know about our life.

Full knowledge of a process is to know when it begins and when it ends. If we know when and how a process ends we can know the stages and the nature of these stages, the process will pass through. So we can know how our life will be in advance.

If we know when, we can always work change that when. We can not change what we do not know.

What do people do if they know they are going to die? They make a plan, which invariably leads them to go back to the very essentials of their life. Which is essentially 'to be'. To be with their loved ones, to enjoy, to be happy, to rejoice in life and to make others happy. Most naturally evaluate their life knowingly or unknowingly trying to fuse all that was of value in life into one's eternal soul and prepare for the angel of death's scythe...

End (6042).

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...
