What is Your Self-Worth? – (1492)

You Probably Don’t Know

We probably don’t know within ourselves what our self-worth is yet. This is because we have not thought about it just yet. This is because we havn’t as yet asked ourselves the question: “What am I worth?” and honestly searched for a deep and sincere answer just yet.

When we ask and sincerely search for an answer, something new arises in us.


Answering the Question: “What is our self-worth?”

When we ask ourselves the question and search for an answer, we may find that we are worth $250,000 in new sales to the company that we work for, we may also find that we are worth all the bills paid, food on the table, household chores being done on time, support to our family when needed, a reliable tax payer, etc. But is that really our self-worth? No! That is more our external value to others and society.

What is the value of yourself to yourself? That is more what self-worth is.

Some people may just answer immediately: “a rubbish bin” or a “demi-god”. Both answers of course are not right. We have to go beyond these two extremes and look for the truth of the matter.

We may start by becoming aware of all of our good points, virtues or values and then being aware of our lacks and defects.

You may also explore your inherent value, which is you in life as a person, as a citizen, and then you in the spiritual field: you as an essence and you as a vehicle of a Divinity (a Monad).

What is that value of you as an essence connected to a Divinity? It maybe be hard to know but it is very different to the value that you give yourself or makes you to give to yourself when someone rejects you or does not smile at you or treats you badly, isn’t it?


Our Self-Worth Holding Steadfast in the Storm

Why do we give ourselves a low value when we are rejected when we already have our value or self-worth set as an essence who has a Divinity? Maybe because we havn’t established our true self-worth yet.



If we have established clearly to ourselves what our true self-worth is it is difficult that we so easily accept from ourselves and from others a value or a worth that is different to this true self-worth that we have set up inside of ourselves. Whether ourselves (another ego) or someone else gives us a value or worth that is greater or less than what our true self-worth is!


Conclusion

We have to reflect on that of our self-worth and establish the correct view of it or appreciation of it.
If we don’t reflect on it we will continue to be a victim of our own egos of pride, self-love and of course self-importance.

End (1492).

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
