Pride is the Ego that Most interfers with the Relationships with Ourselves

Pride is the Ego that Most interfers with the Relationships with Ourselves - (5763)

One very fundamental thing in relating to ourselves and to anything else, is to be able to see ourselves as we are. That is to see ourselves accurately, as close to reality as possible.

The ego of Pride blurs so much, the vision of ourselves.

I think starting with myself, we all have such a distorted vision of ourselves.

If we have a distorted vision, we don't have a good relationship with ourselves. Because we are relating to something that we think is real but it isn;t really. It is something else, which contributes to so much misalignment.

So much that we believe about oursleves is not accurate.

It hurts the wrong beliefs about ourselves so much when those beliefs about ourselves are challenged.

Anger comes to defend those beliefs with counter-judgement and pride helps us hold onto them with arguments of denial, skepticism and justification.

To end the many events that challenge the beliefs about ourselves there are a few solutions.

One is to change radically our point of view, to one of being open, calm and patient with the intention to really fix the causes of constant correction.

When we no longer feel sentimental attachment to ourselves and our ways, we automatically look towards what is better for ourselves. The corrections may well be what is better.

To be listen for justice when we are criticised. They can be just and they can be injust... Justice and triuth always go together. What is untrue is unjust - discard immediately.

The following things help a lot for us to dissolve pride:

To go and do things before we are told. Pride does not like to be told what to do, yet all it does is tell others what to do.

To do things correctly to the best of our ability - without short cuts.

To listen carefully.

To feel totally ok about getting things wrong. Accept calmly and patiently lectures and corrections. Listen well to not repeat the same mistake.

End (5763).

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...
