Principal Psychological Profile (PPP) of Pride (229)

Introduction

As mentioned in the previous post, this post will be dedicated to describing some more characteristics of the PPP. In particular this post will concentrate on describing what it is like to have Pride as the PPP.

Pride as Your PPP

What I would like to achieve with this post is to describe how one’s psychology is and life is having the pride as the PPP. My hope is that with this description it will help you to either rule out that your PPP is pride or either set you on a course to discovering and confirming that your PPP is pride.

What is it Like to have Pride as a PPP?

If your PPP is pride then the majority of your psychological processes will be taken up with envy, resentment, offences – giving and receiving, remembering insults, arguing, mental and verbal protesting, being worried about being wrong, feeling hurt, being right, fantasies of glory and heroism, fantasies of being right and loved by everyone, feeling important, feeling devastated by no one loving you, fear of embarrassment, fear to learn what others think of you, basically always being hurt and retaliating with responses that express the same value.

Thinking people are against you and then being against others and there is always a strong element of friction, opposition, resistance and conflict in our minds and in our relations with others.

Basically what causes a person much trouble when they pride as their PPP is relativity, where differences in treatment and being less or more really upset the person. The person who has pride as their PPP is very sensitive to relativity. The slightest detail can provoke one’s pride and upset them.

Conclusion

If a person’s PPP is pride then unfortunately most of their psychological life will basically be taken up by protesting against relativity that goes against them (less than others) and feeling exaggeratedly great when relativity is in their favour (i.e. better or more than others).

End (229).

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

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...
