Pride as Rejection of Pain – [18

Pride as Rejection of Pain – [18 – Iovis-L]

Pride and Pain

Pride is intimately related to pain. Pride has roots in so many areas of our life.

Pain is produced by a lack of balance.

Pride is a protest against pain.

Duality

There according to duality is the plus and the minus. What we have on the plus side we have on the minus side but in the opposite property.

The price of arrogance is humiliation.

We have the whole psychology of duality in pride. We protest when we are hurt, and this is pride.

Because the dignity and majesty of Being has been lowered or compromised.

Properties of Pride as the Sense of Balance of the Being

Restoring Dignity

Anything that has to do with dignity and honour has to do with pride.

We try to restore that dignity by inflicting harm on others. Then if this can not be done directly it is done indirectly, and the ultimate act of compensation is suicide.

A Fighter

Pride is a fighter. It fights where majesty and dignity have been lowered or compromised.

Pride is not flexible, because it is the misperceived enactment or exercise of justice.

Pride has a huge control over will, and in the casual world is where our scale, our balance resides.

Justice

Justice is the worst enemy of Pride, meaning by the law of duality and analogy justice is inside pride. Release justice within you, and pride is totally finished.

The four columns of pride are: conflict, opposition, friction and resistance.

Pride and the Being

Pride is the only “I” that faces the Being. The other egos do not. There are only two keys to dissolve pride they are: unity and justice.

Pride is self-sufficiency, which if we go to the root of the word, we see that it means: “enough knowledge, sufficient knowledge in oneself”.

Resistance creates separation. Pride is a blind ego. It is active and masculine. Violence allies with pride. It is also disdain, contempt, sabotage, control etc.

There are several attitudes, one is constant talking and another one is distant and arrogant. Self-sufficient people don't accept help. Because they feel their dignity has been lowered or compromised, if we are helped that is.

Rebellion in Pride Against God

We rebel against the pain that is inflicted upon us. Deep down in the ego of pride is a place where we blame God for our pain and we feel the pain for having lost balance.

We blame God for having lost balance.

Someone with pride always feels that somebody has humiliated us or harmed us. But they are not to blame it is us. If we go all the way back we see that pride holds God is to blame, that is the Absolute it thinks is to blame for having made creation possible.

Spirit and Matter Split by Creation – Hence Our Distance from the Being

Creation split matter and spirit, producing two distinct parts, hence the great duality.

But we don't have to see this split or division. We must see it as one, spirit and matter together.

To be on one side only is to be asleep. We really need to be one both sides or see both sides together, simultaneously.

God is perfect multiple unity, God and matter are together but at different levels of condensation.

The acceptance of god inside you is trust. We have to see God in matter and how God needs matter. Then real trust emerges from the sense of unity, that is the unity of these two factors.

The rebellion of the sleeping essence against the Being stops when we see we are one. When we are a unit.

The sense of unity is achieved inside of us first of all.

Unity is also balance! And justice! The psychology of the exodus is unity.

The psychology of the exodus is the psychology of the Being and of the awakening.

Pride, Trust and the Stigmata – [21 – Martis-LII]

Pride Dislike and rejection are part of distrust. Not accepting is also part of distrust. Four stages of trust: 1.) A trust that comes and goes. 2.) A trust that things will work out ok. 3.) A trust that comforts whatever the outcome, good or bad. 4.) A trust that is integration and unity with the Being. When we chose-wisely we can trust. Distrust is the same as fear. We have to start here to trust. Trust our Being here in the physical world first of all. When we trust in the work, we also trust in the Being which is to trust in the will of God. Trusting in the will of the Being through doing the work is the key! Trust is to be active mi the work! There are countless ways of trusting. Trust People trust in life. Trust the outcome of the work! We are going to trust our own work. Everyday, that we are alive is a proof of the trust that our monad has in us! We need to know that our Monad has in us His greatest investment, He has pu...

Subconscious Notes (New!) – [50 – Saturni-IX]

Subconscious The mind that is not realistic is open to infinite possibilities. Subconscious is possibility and memory. Subconscious is not reality, it is outside of reality. Subconscious and Fantasy Fantasy is the subconscious projected onto reality. We believe more in the impossible becoming possible than the possible becoming possible. Karmic thinking is in the small details and governs humanity totally. There are positive desires from the subconscious and we have fantasy from that because our pride does not want to accept reality, our own reality of what we are and have. The possibility of reality is fantasy. We can make the subconscious conscious through knowing and understanding. We have to know that what appears from on subconscious is not real. Subconscious and the Known The subconscious is always the known. It is does not encompass the unknown. When we lose our attenti...

Unrealistic Mind and Trust – [57 – Mercurii-XI]

Unrealistic Mind The mind that is not realistic opens itself up to infinite possibility. An unrealistic mind is the "what if'' mind. In such a mind open to the unrealistic, fantasy takes over. Fear is an ego that puts the mind into states of generating possibilities. To be realistic is to begin to curtail fantasy. To line from moment to moment is to be in reality and one must grasp firmly onto reality. Especially when faced with the events of life. We must work intensely on our karmic memory and the other memories. When we have karma, we in our mind fight without possibility. When we have karma we think in relation to impossibility. When we don't have karma we think in relation to possibility. The key of awakening is separation. Another very important key is trust. We are all doing the work and this is the issue. Sometimes, actually more often than not, it is better to trust the work more...

Payment of Karma – [53 – Saturni-IX]

Karma If the person has the time, the means, and the work, then the karma be lightened up to allow the person to go ahead and work to pay their karma. If we are lacking in time or the means, the situation becomes very difficult. Time, work and the means are fundamental in dealing with karma. Our work is a race against time. Expression of the Being and Karma We express the Being through the work, then the path, then through the Being directly. Conditioned will is desire! The will descends from Tiphereth and is dressed with mind, emotion, word and action. The will gets vested with the mind, that is, the logic, reasoning and justification of the mind. To do the opposite of the will of the ego stops the ego at its origin. Which opens up the way for the Being to flow through us. The Being is really Atman-Buddhi. Our karma resides in Tiphereth. When our causal egos are eliminated our karma is practically gone. So, if we divert our will to the Being ...

From the Being's Upper Reaches - [59 - 20.2.2019]

Major Defect and Virtue From the Being's upper reaches descends the major virtue and defect. If we know our P. P. P we know our major defect and therefore our major virtue. For example, if one's P. P.P is pride then that is one's major defect, and therefore one's major virtue is: balance, dignity and majesty. A person during the course of their work and life has to elevate their major virtue to the maximum. We must work on our will, our mind, our emotion, our word and our actions so to elevate the major virtue. Balance as Major Virtue The majesty of pride is arrogance. We need balance in our will, in our mind, in our word, in our emotions and in our actions. We must also then balance all of our virtues and resources such as force, love, patience, sexuality, time, money etc. We humiliate the dignity of another because ours has been humiliated. We lower the dignity of others because ours has been lowered. We unbalance the scale of o...
