The Person Lacking Respect

The Person Lacking Respect - (4041)

The person who lacks respect due to their large pride, in their depths does not respect their inner Being.

If we do not respect our Inner Being there is no way that we are going to respect others.

If we don't have respect for the Inner Being in us, that which is most dear to us, that which is at the core of ourselves, that which gives us life, light and so many other essential currents of vital value to us, that which is the Law within us, that which is the most important to us, there is no way we are going to respect something outside of us which is not as important to us as our Inner Being is.

When we respect our Inner Being we can respect others because we will be well aware that they also have a real Being like us, and that respecting their Inner Being is the same as respecting our Inner Being. Because when I respect the Inner Being of others I will use the same respect that I respect my Inner Being with. We can not give what we do not have within us.

If we respect others, respect will come to us. This is how we know we are respecting others.

If we respect others and respect from them does not come to us. Then respect ourselves, disengage from them and leave them with their disrespect.

We lack that respect because we are way too full of ourselves. Pride is so huge, so big, thinking and feeling separate and different to our inner Being. We make our pride to be a power above our Inner Being, feeling the right to fulfill our own egoic will, despite our Inner Being. Pride always thinks it is above respect. But yet demands respect and feels mortally hurt when not respected.

End (4041).

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...
