The Value of Dignity – (1614)

Introduction

Everyone has their dignity and is in some way aware of their dignity. It is usually thought of in the way we are treated.

To be treated like a dog or a cat is to be treated for example, we say, against human dignity. Within dignity there is a value system or system of inherent worth. The recognition of those values determines what is appropriate or not. Dignity is a lot about what is appropriate or not.


What Enhances the Essence

Some activities have a higher level of dignity. Esoteric and sacred objects, activities and practices carry inherently a high value system. Therefore, these activities are more dignifying. There is a teaching from my marvellous missionary that says "dignity is what enhances the essence".

Naturally what does not enhance our essence is against dignity.

To act with dignity is to act with high human and spiritual values.

Dignity is the knowing and appreciation of those inherent inner values.


Dignity and Balance

The values of dignity and balance operate together. A balanced conduct is dignifying and dignifying behaviour is a very balanced behaviour that imparts dignity in its own conduct and in the treatment of others. These two values complement each other and dignity is controlled and appropriately contained by balance.


Pride and Dignity

In pride when we are treated in a certain way, this treatment is compared against these inner values for appropriateness (dignity). Then that comparison is registered against our sense of balance, fairness and justice. Then a conclusion is made as unfair, inappropriate or fair, good and just and pride is exactly that the conclusion of these values being processed relative two certain concepts of dignity and balance.

My marvellous missionary says that we ‘finish’ with pride when we learn how to deal with imbalances from within ourselves through our inner Real Being and when we have the concept of dignity in our Being.


Real Dignity

A person with a lot of dignity that is real, dignity, when treated badly will not react indignantly. Because that is against his dignity.

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).
