What happens if we are struggling in wanting to dissolve an Ego (240)

Introduction

This post is a remedy to the situation when you know that you really have to work on an ego but it is strong and you don’t want to work on it. In some way we still want what it gives or promises us.

What it Gives or What it Promises?

Before I go on, there is a very interesting point here to look at and it is are we wanting what the ego actually gives us or what the ego promises us.

When we get what the ego wants is that really what we wanted. In a majority of the cases we don’t really want what the ego gives us, because the reality of getting what the ego gives is not so happy, pleasing and agreeable as it sounded.

Usually we want what the ego promises us and that can be something that we can get truly get through the Being instead of through the ego. The reason why this is because what we may want is something that is not bad.

For example

For example we may want some sort of freedom and so lust tries to get it and then that becomes inconvenient for us and in the end it is not freedom that we get but complications and difficulties etc. However, in the beginning we wanted freedom, if we try to get it through the Being we will truly get it.

Remedy

Here is the remedy. The remedy is to search for the truth behind it. To search for the truth of what the ego wants, find the true nature of its end result and its desires.

The truth is neutral and sets us free. If we actually find the truth behind we will be happy to let the ego go anyway. Finding the truth does not cause any pain and does not bother or annoy us.

Conclusion

The key is look for the truth behind the ego, find out why it wants what it does and what is the true nature of what it wants. The truth is something neutral and does not harm the essence or us, it actually frees us and it actually it dissolves the ego.

End (240).

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...
