Respect is something that is won and lost. Respect is also something to a certain level that is given.
The given basic level of respect always remains unless one's it is because of one's karma that it is not given for a period of time.
The extra level of respect is one that is won and lost. It is often this extra level of respect that is not seen by everyone.
For example Master Samael was a man and someone off the street would treat him as an equal. But someone in the Gnostic teachings would treat him with great respect much more than the person off the street.
This extra respect is real, as Master Samael had been working for years to deserve that and the only difference is that the Gnostic student can see that, but the man off the street being asleep does not see that. This is a extra bit of respect is universal. All who awaken will see and feel the same respect. Because if the man off the street began to work on himself he would then see Master Samael's work and then respect him also.
The respect that a crime boss has is one due to fear, a conditioned respect. If we look at this example of conditioned respect from a universal perspective we see that we can't really give such a person that extra bit of respect because such a person does not respect others with such organized crime.
Anyway we can win or lose this extra bit of respect with our actions alone!
