About Respect, Self-Respect and the Wrong Self-Respect

About Respect, Self-Respect and the Wrong Self-Respect – (2477)

Even a Man Who Has Finished the Third Mountain Can be Disrespected

Certainly though such a man or woman would inspire respect from those who know him or her and invisibly from those who do not know him or her but come into contact with him/her in daily life.

This respect is due to the Being (up to Kether) of the person being incarnated and the fact that there is no karmic reason to be disrespected. It seems like anything is possible in life on this planet.

However, it can happen though that at the markets such a person can be spoken to in a very disrespected manner.

Of course, though it is not so good for the one who disrespects such a person, but because they do not know they are forgiven…

Lesson: if even such a person can be disrespected, we have to come to the conclusion that true respect is inside of oneself.

In fact all respect starts with self-respect first.

Self-Respect First

Respect is giving ourselves freedom and plenitude within and respecting with dignity our own inner divinity. This respect is inside of ourselves and goes from our essence to our inner Divinity and it does not demand others to respect us.

To demand others to respect us is to not be respecting our inner Divinity. It is absurd really. Why should we expect others to do what we do not do for ourselves?

Such a respect for the inner Being within ourselves allows the awareness and will to pervade our life with respect and this most certainly includes treating all others with respect.

We can only give what we have, and if we have no self-respect we have to way to respect others, or the government, laws or anything else, even our own parents.

When we demand respect from others or are upset because we were not respected we loose the sight of the Being in us, which then sight of what it is to respect and we act in an undignifying way inside and outside of ourselves.

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...
