Real Value is Outside Duality

Real Value is Outside Duality - (4181)

I understand now more than ever, that any real value that anyone has, is really real when it helps them in the circumstances that are 'against' them.

I think that any value that we really possess shines in us when our own egos, people and circumstances are against us.

We can take any value and see the above point. We can take respect as an example.

It can often be that we may respect someone, but then later we don't respect them or we lose respect for them. What happens with us in such cases?

It could be that the person was behaving in a way that we liked and the person did all that we expected of them. But then they did something that we didn't agree with and the respect started to go or went.

Examples like this show us that we didn't really possess respect unconditionally or outside of relativity. We only had respect as a result of our conditions being met. So we had respect relatively or conditionally.

To possess something conditionally or relatively is not really to possess something. When it is this way concerning a value I think that we do not possess the value, the value is not yet a part of our soul. It is only a feature of our egoic structure. Because any ego comes and goes, our relative use of the value comes and goes also with the ego.

When for example we have respect we keep it no matter what happens. The line of respect may lower somewhat that is quite normal in difficult circumstances but it won't be thrown down to the ground. Or if it ever is thrown down to the ground, we end up really hurting our essence because the essence knows full well that it willingly compromised one of its own values, which is a part of itself. When we have conditional egoic respect we do not care at all about throwing respect to the floor. we even feel justified to do this.

Even if the person has done something that we consider really bad to us, if we have real respect we will still keep respect. There will always be something that we can respect in another person. The more ignorant of ourselves we are the less we find to respect others.

To respect is to have found things of value within us. Which is a kind of an awakening. When we find things of value in ourselves we know straight away that others have the same things of value within them, they have to as fundamentally they are different to us, so we respect them.

If someone does something and we feel we lose respect for them there is much from the past that we can respect about them. Their human beingness their Monad, their human rights, their life, their free will, their silence, their sufferings etc. are all things that we can respect.

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...
