Treating Ourselves with the Value of Compassion

Treating Ourselves with the Value of Compassion - (4645)

Here are some notes about the real value of compassion directed towards ourselves.

Normally we want compassion from others in the form of: understanding, in the form of concession, in the form of justification, in the form of others taking on our burdens, in the form of others doing things for us that we should do ourselves and in the form of not having to change...

Often we get upset with others who do not offer this form of compassion. This is self-compassion in action. It wants compassion for our personality and our 'myself' or "I". It does not want real compassion but a compassion that benefits our defects keeping them just as they are.

This is not real compassion! Real compassion wants us to not stay as incompetent, lazy, half-baked, half-developed, defective and sick, but to be fully developed, strong, fully capable and healthy and active.

We know kindness goes with compassion and this is real kindness to ourselves to want ourselves to change.

So when we fail or fall short in any circumstance of life where our ego of self-compassion would manifest we need to bring the real value of compassion forward. Which is a very powerful force that comes from inside of ourselves to pick ourselves up in a firm but careful way. Seeing exactly where we are at and treating ourselves at that level and helping ourselves from that point forward.

Real compassion works with humility, as humility is to know our place in all circumstances, events and situations. It is true balance. As soon as we overstep our place we break balance. Humility is conscious so as to see our place, respect our place and know how to stay there.

The real compassion is strong, intelligent, resourceful and patient. It does not get disappointed easily and it persists with the right methods until reaching the goal, which is to get ourselves up and walking again.

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...
