What to Change In? See What Others See of You

What to Change In? See What Others See of You - (3388)

How We See Others

Someone mentions a person's name. The next moment we find ourselves expressing silently or out loud - "they have that wrong", "asleep in that area", "a bit controlling", "selfish", "egotistical", "arrogant" etc.

We tend to only know or think of a person by their faults. We associate them with the general fault of laziness, gluttony, selfishness etc. and our mental representation of them is heavily flavoured by them having that fault.

For example, you hear the word controlling and then the image of the person appears in your mind.

When we see that they are not changing in the fault/s that we associate them with we think they are not changing at all.

Which could be wrong of course. We have a limited vision of them.

What we see of others is their visible faults which maybe invisible to them. Anyway what we see is quite significant and if they were to work on it considerable changes would come about in their actions, overall nature, personality etc.

How Others See You

So the big question! How do others see you? What are the faults that they associate with you.

We can find out by asking, mind you, ask an honest person for their honest opinion. We can also find out using our imagination.

See yourself with others and see yourself interacting and then using imagination observe yourself from the corner of the room and then evaluate...

What others see about us are major faults that we often don't see or consider unimportant to work on. But we are wrong really what others see are very visible and affect our life in a significant way. So it is definitely worth working on these things that others see.

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...
