Pride is the Difference

Pride is the Difference - (4858)

We may do something tedious fairly happily all by ourselves and then we may be asked to do the same thing by someone else and we get upset and protest.

In the end it is the same task but why the protesting?

Pride is the answer.

Something in our psychology thinks that we can't be told what to do, or we are being taken advantage of or we should not be told what to do because we are an adult and we are not anyone's subordinate or mother or father or anyone else etc. etc.

We think pride is right. But really is it? Is it really right when it is the same task and it has to be done and the only difference is being told or asked?

No one is going to take advantage of us - that only happens if we allow it, so what is pride fearing or thinking is wrong?

Is it true that we are beyond being told what to do? Yet we go to work and we are told what to do so many times a day.

Isn't it true that with pride we do not possess humility? When we are proud we do not know our place. Thinking that we can not be told what to do is not to know our place. Of course we can be told what to do we are not the supreme boss, and even the supreme boss can be told what to do because he or she can't see everything and is never perfect. In fact the best bosses are the ones who are a bit humble...

When we are proud we are also unfair. Thinking we can't be told what to do means others have to do what we could do or should do. That is unfair.

Pride is not correct! IT is can be easily debunked! Once debunked it be separated and defeated.

Isn't true that when we are proud we are wasting our time in relation to freeing and developing our essence? We are strengthening pride and the price for pride is a humiliation that hurts, and we are here in Gnosis to not bring suffering to ourselves anymore.

When we bring suffering to ourselves others suffer also.

End (4858).

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...
