Personality sees what is Spiritual according to its Patterns?

Personality sees what is Spiritual according to its Patterns? - (870)

Meaning Exactly?

Meaning that what we see as spiritual or what we consider to be spiritual or belonging to spirituality, we think that it should come in line with the nature, patterns, ways, words etc. of our own personality.

This is something so natural that we don’t even see or suspect that we are actually doing it. However, it becomes very obvious to us that something is wrong when we come into contact with a spiritual school, organisation, association etc. or a spiritual person.

What inevitably happens is that the way that the spiritual school or person operates or organises things or speaks or lays things down etc. doesn’t agree with something in us and we think to ourselves: “this is tough or cruel, how can this be spiritual?”. Sometimes we may be right but most of the time sometimes we are wrong all because we see the event through the eyes of personality.

How Does that Work?

What happens is that in our personality we have certain ideas of what is good and kind and considerate and friendly etc. and we think that those good things are spiritual things but they may not be at all. They may actually be something that does not help improve our spirituality.

For Example

To greet people is good for the personality and we think that spiritual people should do the same. For the personality a good person does not point things out that are wrong and we think that spiritual people should do the same. For the personality people who don’t ask questions and don’t apply pressure are good and respectful people and so spiritual people that do that are bad and ugly etc. it goes on that way.

Here below is an image unrelated really to the post but it is an interesting read.

Conclusion

With this post all I wanted to basically do was to point to the source of where some of our disagreements come from when we interact with a spiritual school or people who run or teach at a spiritual school such as a Gnostic centre.

We normally think that it is the ego but it can be the personality that has problems, remembering that the ingredients of the personality are really the egos we are half right if we think that it is the ego causing problems. The personality has thought and ways of thinking so if we can capture the thinking behind its disagreements we can modify it and solve our disagreements.

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...
