Jealousy is not About the Other! – (448)

Introduction

This may seem to be a crazy statement, but is it quite true. Why we ask. But first thing is first there is of course something to do with the other person but that is not the main factor. The main factor is the quality of the relationship in ourselves. Read on to know more.


Jealousy Protects the Relationship

We have jealousy to protect or ensure that the relationship between us and our wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend or friend is going ok. Basically fear of the relationship weakening not on our part but on their part is the main factor behind this.  The interesting thing is tht jealousy ends up ruining the relationship it tries to protect.


The Security of the Relationship

What jealousy is really about is how secure that relationship is inside of us. Jealousy typically goes to try and fix how the other person is feeling but that is not the cause. The cause of jealousy is that the relationship or the way we feel and relate to the other person inside of us is not all that complete or solid or secure.

There are holes or gaps or doubts in our affection for the other person. That is the real cause of jealousy.


‘Shoulds’ and ‘Should Nots’

Jealous has so many ‘shoulds’ and ‘should nots’. These are what drive us crazy as well. We think the other should not talk to another person or should not talk for all that long, should not smile, should not feel anything towards them, should not like them that much, should pay me more attention, should love me more etc. etc.

All these should come from the belief that we are in an exclusive relationship where the other should only love me more or only me. But the it should really be that we should love them more. Love is love, love goes to everyone and has space to love others. A relationship that does not allow you to love others in a fraternal way is not very loving, it kills or monopolises love.


Conclusion

If we want to get rid of jealousy we have to sincerely and consciously make our affection toward the other person true and devoid of gaps, holes, doubts, or insecurities. When we feel secure about our affection toward them we start to love and love kills jealousy.

Jealousy is also a very damaging ego and that ruins relationships, especially the ones it trues so hard to protect.

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...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
