Opposite of Self-Love is Love for the Being – (442)

Introduction

This came as quite an impact to me actually. This is something that I had not heard of before, but in reality just as every defect has its opposite in a virtue, every ego must also have its opposite, and self-love can be no exception.


Self-Love

Self-Love is all about receiving love from others so that we can feel well about ourselves. It is about making sure we are loved by others and regarded highly in the minds and feelings of others. It is not really about giving love to them or about us loving our Being.


Opposite of Self-Love

Knowing what self-love is we can imagine or construct the opposite. The opposite in this is case is loving the Being in us and that means that we give more than we receive and that we do not require the love from others to feel well with and within ourselves. We instead love our Being and use the degree to which we love our Being and give to others as the basis for our feeling well with ourselves.


Conclusion

Cultivating the love for the Being will help us to fill the void that is created when we feel that others do not love us. In fact when we love our Being we love everyone else as well. We are generating love and are becoming love and so, we can say that we have love and so do not need it from others.


End (442).

    Thanks for the inspiration to serve and love the being... I guess some ways of doing this are: making appointments with the being to meditate, going against the ego when it's not enjoyable, prayer and veneration to the being....

    Hi David and thanks for your comment.You are right they are all actions that are loving the Being. Also we can spend time trusting in the Being and also in prayer sending your love to the Being. A very important one is to not allow yourself the egoical pain of self-love, that is a way of loving the Being as well.

    Looking after our health and basic needs, is that love for the being?

    It is even sublimated when we consciosuly look after our health purposefully for our Divine Inner Being.

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure.  Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

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...
