About Respect - (4445)

It is worth studying respect. The basis of an essence to essence relationship is respect.

An essence to essence relationship is a real relationship, one with real values. One where one can experience peace of spirit, contentment of spirit and real work on oneself and work for the spirit of others...

There are many aspects of respect. In this post I'm just going to touch on a few aspects and in later posts touch on other aspects.

Respect certainly has an aspect to it that is about knowing, and the consciousness is knowing. So respect has a relationship to consciousness.

So to be respectful is to be conscious. A conscious person is a respectful person.

Respect means to leave things intact as they are. Our consciounsess perceives an order and to have resepct means to leave that order as it is and not interfere with it by making changes etc.

For example, every translator respects the words of whom they translate by not adding or taking away words.

Every muscian respects the composer by playing the music in the actual way the composer wrote it. Not playing extra notes or playing the notes in a different way then what was intended by the composer.

To respect the environment means to leave nature as it is, not to pollute the environment.

For example, we may have a spiritiual master in front of us and when we know that the person in front of us is a spiritual master, respect automatically appears in us. This is because we know the hard work that was done to become a spiritual master and the high value of that work. Respect inside of us would not allow us to bring to that master our heavy egos, our rough personality or the silly things from our mind.

Respect also means to not cross over the invisible line of respect which is only really ever seen with the eyes of our understanding. When we cross over the invisible line of respect we do the following things: say inappropiate things, ask inappriopriate things, change things by adding or subtracting, bringing low values, bringing negative behaviour, bringing heavy words and negativity etc. etc.

Respect leads to trust. When we are respectful towards a person we win their trust.

We can apply directly the above mentioned points inside of ourselves and that becomes self-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...
