Jealousy - A Significant Step to Take in its Dissolution

Jealousy - A Significant Step to Take in its Dissolution - (1979)

Remedy

The following point of work is very effective to counter the feeling of ‘less’ that is at the centre of jealousy.

It at first may seem wrong or too hard to do but trust me, doing it will provide you with a relieving balm.

Appreciate the Value of the Threatening Other

We must start by looking at the person we are jealous of and then reflect earnestly seeing all their values. When we begin to sincerely see the values in the other person we slowly start to appreciate these values and then appreciate that person.

This by the way diminishes the ill-will so ever present in jealousy. This also directly counters the angry feeling in jealousy because we then see in some way why they deserve some affection or deserve to be liked.

Don't worry men do exactly the same. This is the ill-will part of jealousy that
looks for the failings of the other person, when we should reverse this and look
for values of the person so as to escape jealousy.
The ill-will keeps us stuck in jealousy.

But Why Do This?

But more importantly, appreciating the value in the other opens the door for us to be able to appreciate the values in ourselves and that directly counters the ‘less’ feeling of jealousy.

This works because when we are in the grip of the ‘less’ feeling of jealousy it is obvious that we are not appreciating or considering the fact that we have our values. We forget all about our values and our self-image or the way that we perceive ourselves points downwards.

Recognising our values points our self-image or the way that we perceive ourselves from downwards to slightly upwards or to what is real. Then logically we will feel differently to the way that the ‘less’ makes us feel.

Conclusion

Give this point of work a try, right in the very moment that you feel the "I" of jealousy bight the hardest. Remember for it to be effective, one must do it on purpose and do it honestly and sincerely.

End (1979).

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).
