Things we Have to Do for Ourselves

Things we Have to Do for Ourselves - (788)

Introduction

We all have a relationship with ourselves that is for sure. How can we deny that?

A part of that relationship with ourselves, just like any other relationship, are responsibilities and things that must be done to keep the balance. Because when there is a relationship balance comes into the picture straight away. Healthy, functional relationships are about balance.

These responsibilities and things that we need to do in the relationship with ourselves are things that we need to do for ourselves. That is they are our job - our responsibility. The interesting thing is that we don’t realise this, we think others should do it for ourselves. When we think that others should do these things that we should do for ourselves we get into suffering and more suffering.

List

Here is a list of all the things that we have to do for ourselves in the relationship with ourselves:

• Love ourselves

• Trust ourselves

• Consider ourselves

• Respect ourselves

• Heal ourselves

• Be intimate with ourselves (really delve deep into our ownselves)

• Know ourselves

• Die in ourselves

• Pay our karma

• Transmute our own sexual energy

• Love our divinity

• Awaken our own consciousness

Conclusion

The list above is just a small list of the responsibilities that we have and the things that we have to do for ourselves in the relationship with ourselves.

For me it is pretty important to remember those things, that is to remember that it is our job to love and trust ourselves or love and trust our Being. We get it really wrong when we expect others to do that for us. When we try to get others to love and trust ourselves we always at one point along the way end up in trouble – suffering.

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...
