Gurdjieff: When remorse comes without self-love, it gives us the desire for something better. But when it is mixed with self-love, it weights you down. The effect of true remorse is hatred of yourself, repugnance towards yourself. These two things make up true remorse of conscience....
"YOU HAVE TO FEEL A LOT OF THAT IN ORDER TO KILL YOUR ENEMY. WHEN YOU FEEL THIS DEPRESSION YOU SHOULD DO THE "I AM"., THEN YOU NEEDNT BE AFRAID OF BEING MORE DEPRESSED. ONLY THROUGH THIS IMPULSE CAN YOU TRANSCEND YOUR NOTHINGNESS. YOU SHOULD REJOICE THAT AN IMPULSE HAS AWAKENED IN YOU A REAL WILL TO CHANGE".
- From Meeting number twenty five - Thursday, 20th April , 1944.
