Every ego has a reward or a payback. To know the payback is very helpful.
To know it, is a breakthrough which signifies the coming decline of that ego.
There are passive and active egos. Anger and pride are active as they express outwards to produce effects in our outer environment. The passive egos do not express outwardly, they express inwardly.
Both egos: active and passive natured egos have their reward or payback.
Masochism in its various forms is a passive ego. It has a payback of loving the suffering. Through the suffering we may have come to experience a sense of self that we know only too well and are very comfortable with.
We have felt it so many times that with suffering it is almost like we find ourselves. We experience that all too well known flavour of ourselves.
However we know in Gnosis that this flavour is not of our essence or our Real Inner Being.
It is the all well too known - that we have felt for centuries.
The Being in us is the open and free that we are afraid of feeling because we won't find ourselves there. In the Being there is not that all too well known flavour of suffering.
Masochism is an ego that we must dissolve. People stay in unhappy and abusive relationships, situations and circumstances in life because of this ego.
When we work on this ego that may change and things may change in our life.
