Why Egoic Self-Love Turns against Us?

Why Egoic Self-Love Turns against Us? - (710)

Because it is not Real Love

When we love ourselves through others, that is feel well, nice, warm and fuzzy with ourselves when others love us, say nice affectionate and meaningful things to us, kiss us, hug us etc. that way of loving ourselves will turn against us and provide us with pain, as great as the nice, warm fuzzy feelings were, the greater the pain we will feel.

This is because that way of loving ourselves is really not the right way and what is right and true, or absolute or in the Being, does not change from pleasure to pain. Loving ourselves through others is not real love, it is not freedom for ourselves nor for the other person. It obliges the other person a lot and makes ourselves to feel pain all the time, that is not real love.

The Right Way

The right way to love ourselves is from ourselves, by ourselves and for ourselves. This is the absolute way and that way that depends on us and our Being and not on others. When we properly love ourselves we can love others consciously and not have that surprise of our own apparent love turning into pain against ourselves.

Conclusion - Bases

We also don’t create false bases, which are really the bases in others that can fall out under our feet, leaving us to feel very empty and paining which turns to strong resentment. Resentment because, we created that base as an unspoken sign of trust to them or as a way to say “I trust you and I trust you so much or so intimately that I am going to create a base in you, and I hope that you notice I am doing this”. Now this may seem very nice and loving and trusting but it turns out to jump back up and bite us hard. We must create bases in our Being not in anyone or something else.

This is really such a huge piece of wisdom, that is overlooked all the time and can seem to generalised or synthesised and difficult to apply, but it is so true and it really is part of conscious love. If you want to love consciously do not create bases in the other person!

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...
