A Facet of Pride Related to Love

A Facet of Pride Related to Love - (980)

Introduction

We have pride related to many areas such as our body, our physical abilities, our earnings, our savings, our intellect, our knowledge, our experience, our mystical abilities, our character etc. etc. But we don’t often recognise that we have pride related to love.

A Strange Pride – Maybe Jealousy

With this strange type of pride, we want to be loved more and the most. This aspect of pride comes out when others are in the picture. It may well be called jealousy, but a jealousy not related to fear or lust but to pride.

Part of the Identity

What’s more this aspect of pride has made some of its identity or self-worth out of being loved the most and more. It does not want to be humble and accept say second place just for a moment.

The person feels that at their very core they are being crumbled away or debased. The interesting thing is as a consciousness or as a Being we are not the love of others, or most love or the more love from others.

We Can’t Do Anything Really About It

Others loving or not loving us is the business of their heart, we can’t control that at all, we have very little say in it actually.

We may be so good to a person and another is not so good yet the person we want to love us really loves the ‘not so good’ person.

When this Pride Goes Irate

This aspect of pride gets really bad when people are in a relationship and the one with e pride thinks “we are married or together and so I am meant to be loved the most and more, if not what the hell I am doing in this marriage or relationship”.

The above thinking seems pretty logical, and it can be questioned, though believing that thought only adds to the pain. So maybe it is worth questioning and seeing that for a second or a moment others can be loved more than us if we are married or in a relationship.

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).
