We Don’t Like the Jail
You know none of us really like the jail of the ego (you does right?), and so
we would naturally prefer not to know about it, talk about it, read about it and even if we could not study it.
When there is a person that has dissolved the ego or is
dissolving it, you see that this person (not me) naturally does not really want to hear or see the ego. In fact the more they can forget it the better for them.
However, in the beginning we can not allow ourselves that luxury. We have to know about the jail of the
ego, because if we do not know it there is no way that we can escape from it.
The reason why we study the ego is so to be able escape from it at the due moment.

No Escape Without Knowledge
Nobody would be able to escape physically from a jail if they
had not studied every aspect of that jail before hand. See that all the jail escape movies involved an intricate plan that implied very detailed and exact knowledge of the jail and the way it was managed.
Of course, though, people may study the ego to acquire knowledge for very different motivations. The motivation that we take in Gnosis, is to dissolve the jail and thus
free ourselves from it.
Other people may wish to acquire knowledge of the jail of
the ego for vanity, to defraud or seduce others, to take advantage of others
etc. etc. All of these motivations though only further strengthen the jail of the
ego.
