The Tendency to Consume All of What's Left that is Inconvenient for Us

The Tendency to Consume All of What's Left that is Inconvenient for Us - (6078)

We tend to have that tendency to consume all that which is not healthy for us as quickly as possible, even all in one go.

That is often whey we get drunk, we get overweight, we oversleep, we overthink, we gossip too much, we watch to much, we etc. etc. too much.

On a surface level, often it is not what is consumed that is not healthy it is the quantity.

We can modify this tendency understanding that we can still consume though in small quantities.

The benefit in that is that we don't go into the unhealthy zone and we get to enjoy consuming whatever it is over a longer time span.

Going deeper, the element to really focus on as being unhelpful is our attachment to what we get from what we are consuming. We all get a certain feeling and it is this feeling that we are always looking for.

The basis of this tendency is that we feel for some reason that what we are consuming is not so good for us and so we try to get rid of it as quickly as possible by consuming it all in one go. We do this to try and start again on a new slate, thinking we can be clear of it because we have gotten it out of our system now. But it doesn't quite work out for us later on.

It is this very thinking that actually perpetuates the cycle.

Why? Because we think to start that what it is that we are consuming is unhealthy. That is not the focus the focus is what is it that we are feeding that is unhealthy.

Because we miss the point we fall back into it again and try to get rid of it again by consuming it all at once again so that we can start off on a new slate thinking we will be different because we have gotten it out of our system.

The way to address the cycle is to not see what we are consuming as unhealthy but to see what it is that we are lacking as the thing in us to heal. We at the end of the day are using consumption as an attempt at healing the internal injury or lacking we have.

We are mostly lacking happiness of some kind and so consuming we find happiness and excitement or novelty to bring some happiness.

End (6078).

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...
