Principles for Taking Action

Principles for Taking Action - (6086)

Needed

Taking action is the need.

Not taking action is what trips us all up.

There is a science to taking action.

Knowing this science and applying it helps us to improve at taking action and changing our ways to be more practical and balanced between thinking and action.

Points of the Science

One of the points of this science is to act straight away.

Don't wait for the perfect setup or moment or preparation.

Accept the first attempt could well be a flop. Get the flop out of the way and onto the next attempt.

Be happy to get it wrong and equally happy to say that was learning and then jump forward applying what was just learnt.

Forget the past and focus on the new actions.

As soon as we think of it do it. If we say to ourselves we are going to do it, do it now.

Think of a helpful idea. Do it right now.

When we feel like doing something go ahead and do it. Don't plan it in for later.

When we feel like doing something that is the moment of us to do it even if we are doing something else. Some balance is needed there of course, being fanatical about it won't help us a lot.

The instant you remember it - do it! Unless you really can't - like you're driving your car.

To enforce the pattern of doing, enjoy doing. Start with small things that re easier to do and can get done fairly easily. We need to train our system that doing is more fun than thinking about doing it.

Stop thinking about doing it. For the small things don't worry about how you're going to do it. Just do it.

First find meaning and fulfillment and peace in doing then later in Being, after the doing has developed the Being.

Doing balances the the two columns of being and knowing.

End (6086).

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...
