How we Treat those Below us Counts More than How we Treat Those Above us - (2144)

We All Treat those Above Well – No Surprise there

Especially in spirituality we always treat those who are more advanced or who are teachers or who have been in the spiritual studies a long time, very well.

We subdue our egos of pride and bring our humility and respect to the forefront. Everyone does that. It is like people turn into very co-operative angels around such people. 


We must not stop respecting, loving and treating those above us well, we must improve the way we treat others apparently below us, in both our interior (mind and heart) and physically with actions and words.

The Good and the Bad

However, within the person who does that is something of good and bad. It is good that they do that, it shows to themselves that they do have the capacity for humility and respect and if they want to they can subdue their pride.

But the bad side is that it hides their reality from them. Because as soon as someone below them comes along they treat them very differently don’t they? And this is our real nature or our real level of the Being.

How we treat others above us is a temporary departure from our level of the Being which because we can not sustain it becomes false. We must look to improve how we treat those below us first and pay much more attention to this point.

To Those Above We…

To those above us: we give money, we fulfil promises, we finish tasks for them promptly, we use a warm tone, we care, we visit, we write, we bring gifts, we support, defend, we give our time, we work for, we appreciate etc. etc. But for those below we may not do all of things and if we do some of them we may not do them with as much interest or heart. But that is wrong!

So, beautiful it is to see students helping their missionary when their missionary is the one that taught them from the beginning and is not someone high up.

This is not to say though that those high up are not beautiful, loving and caring either. It is an inner psychological exercise of self-exploration and an invitation to change if one discovers something there deemed worth changing.

Conclusion

It is beery much like what Master Samael says, that what is more important is how we treat people internally within our mind than how we treat them externally, physically.

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).
