Pride Increases Fear Through Karma

Pride Increases Fear Through Karma - (742)

Introduction

The consequences of identification with pride are varied but one definite one is an increase in the strength of the general fear that we have, and this often goes unnoticed. Notice that the people who have a lot of pride also have a lot of fear. If for example we jolt people, are rude and insulting we end up fearing social engagements and activities especially where there are people present who may not like us or maybe rude with us just as we have been rude with them or others.

This post is dedicated to explain why pride increases fear.

Why?

Because pride causes one to make errors with something very important, fundamental, deep, innate and intrinsic within our physical, psychological and spiritual nature, and something is fairness and balance.

When we act unfairly or unjustly we affect that very intrinsic balance within us and the results of having that inner scale affected of course has varied effects but the common one is a kind of separation, rebellion and regret in our three natures, physical, psychological and spiritual.

We often with pride we try to correct something that we see as unfair but we do the unfair thing and hurt others or treat them unfairly.

That separation is a kind of distance from the balance and harmony within ourselves, which most certainly includes our Being, and that separation is a kind of unbalance and of course to get back to balance we have to make some efforts or if we do not make those efforts voluntarily we incur and debt that will at some time be collected from us. In other words pride increases our karma and karma in turn increases our fear.

Why Karma Causes Fear

We have fear from karma because we instinctively know that karmic debts will be collected at some time in the future. That unknown time is one cause of fear and the idea that paying the karmic debt will cause us pain is the other.

So because pride causes karmic debt we get a little more fearful because deep down and instinctively we know we have erred and that error will cost us. This principle applies to any other ego that generates karma.

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...
