Importance of Maturity in Dissolving the Ego

Importance of Maturity in Dissolving the Ego – (1152)

Like Children

With some egos we can be exactly like children, where identified with the ego, we throw a temper tantrum wanting what it wants and not caring about the many other very good reasons why we should just that desire go!

Many egos do this, lust does this, self-love does this, resentment does this, jealousy does this, fear does this.

When the instincts and petty emotions are involved and we can’t or don’t want to sacrifice them we are exactly like children.

To be mature is to be able to see that the desires of the ego are whims and that they are not going to benefit ourselves, the situation or all or most of the others.

To be Mature

To be mature is to be able to take a no, to respect other’s will, to be able to sacrifice inferior things for more reasonable things, to be able to see past the short term gains and to the long term benefits, to be able to accept the difficulties of life with strength and understanding, to be able to think of others, to be able to consider others, to be able to sacrifice our silly inferior negative state to rise to the nature of the occasion that we are facing, to be able accept difficulties, show up and take them on the chin with humility but with a firm resolve to solve or better them.

Conclusion

Our essence is mature, it has within it the experience of millennia and so to be mature is to be like our essence. The ego in us is what makes us immature when we identify with it.

Basically when we don’t see that we have to sacrifice, or that we can’t imagine how we are going to get past the difficulty or we can’t see that we are going to be fine within that difficulty then we go into immature mode, but this is not needed. What is needed sometimes with some egos is to think, feel and act mature and take the difficulties as they are and work to better them or make ourselves to feel better within them.

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...
