Behind the Mask: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants "Mun ba har zuwa hadarin da kasada kadai; domin heroes dukan lokaci sun tafi a gaba gare mu; da labyrinth ya cika da aka sani; muna da kawai bi thread daga cikin gwarzo-hanya. Da kuma inda muka yi tsammani zan samu qyama, za mu sami wani abin bautawa; inda muka yi zaton kashe wani, za mu kashe kanmu; inda muka yi zato tafiya m, munã zo tsakiyar namu zama; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.” – Joseph Campbell. The bridge that spans the gap between finitude and infinity is the human torn between being both an animal and a god. This is the ultimate challenge on the path toward self-actualization: the counterintuitive balance that must be maintained between honesty and hypocrisy, the ruthless acceptance that the perception of reality is inherently a metaphor for reality. The price of admission is a commitment to the constant realization that we are eminently fallible creatures crammed with delusions, base emotions, biases, and holier-than-thou tendencies, on the one side; while also reveling in the exact uniqueness of our improbable being and magnificently enigmatic propensity toward god-like creativity, on the other side. There is hypocrisy inherent within the human condition, Lalle ne haƙĩƙa,, but there is nothing saying that it cannot be sincere. Sincere hypocrisy is an act of credo qua absurdum, embracing the absurd. Man can, in one breath, admit that existence is inherently meaningless and, in the very next breath, deny that meaninglessness as meaningless and affirm his existence as meaningful. “To acknowledge untruth as a condition of life,” wrote Nietzsche, “this surely means resisting customary value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that ventures such a thing, just by doing so, places itself beyond good and evil.” Idan, as Isaac Newton wrote, “I have seen further than others by standing on the shoulders of giants” then it behooves us to don the masks of the great heroes who have gone before us in order to see further than they did. The art of mask-wearing is akin to standing on the shoulders of giants. I’m using the term “mask” as a symbol that metaphorically represents the act of “standing on the shoulders of giants.” Amma, and here’s the rub, each mask is meant to be broken. The most important mask to break is the first one. If the first mask is not broken, then the Shadow remains in an unconscious state. By breaking the first mask we force the Shadow into conscious awareness. One of the more important lessons learned by self-actualized people is the recognition that the primordial self consists of a menagerie of personas and sub-selves, each with the power to wear a plethora of masks. This includes shadowy persona and ‘dark’ sub-selves. Like Jung wrote, “Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it becomes.” And so the bête noire ‘the black beast,’ the arbitrariness of self, must be discovered rather than ignored, must be embraced rather than suppressed, and must, fiye da kowane abu, be forced to move in a new way, through a new passage. A sacred turning in you turns the universe. Say mai, a sacred turning of your shadow transforms the shadows. One should not shun the shadow for fear of being immoral. Nowhere is it written that one cannot be both compassionate and individualistic, both humble and daring, both stable and rebellious, both respectful and insurgent. Balance and moderation in all things is the key, especially with the Shadow. But even balance and moderation must be tested from time to time in order to discover New-chaos, which can eventually be transformed into New-order. Like Louis Herman wrote, “By accepting the inevitability of our shadow, we recognize that we are also ‘what we are not.’ This humbling recognition restrains us from the madness of trying to eliminate those we hate and fear in the world. Self-mastery, balaga, and wisdom are defined by our ability to hold the tension between opposites.” Breaking the first mask humbles the shadow. It frees us to move on to the next “mask,” to leap onto the next “giant’s shoulder.” We don’t do this because we want to walk the path of the giants, dole, but because we want to learn what they have learned, and then see further than they did. The knowledge gleaned becomes a sacred tool that we can place into our “sacred tool bag” for use on our own unique path. With the Christ-tool we move this obstacle. With the Buddhist-tool we remove that obstacle. With the Nietzsche-tool we leverage this obstacle against that obstacle, thus removing both obstacles. The more sacred tools we use, the clearer our path becomes. The more shoulders of giants we stand upon, the further we see. The more masks of ancient heroes we don, the more sacred things appear. The world becomes a giant playground of interconnected, sacred knowledge, and it’s all ours for the seizing. Our individuation unfolds into godhood. Our self-actualization is at hand. And what do we discover? The more we know, the more we realize how much we don’t know. So we better cultivate a good sense of humor.

Iza maske: Stojeći na ramenima divova "Mi nismo ni riskirati avanturu sama; za junaci svih vremena su otišli prije nas; labirint je u potpunosti poznat; moramo samo slijediti nit heroja putu. A gdje su mislili smo pronaći gadost, ćemo pronaći boga; gdje smo mislili da zakolje drugi, ćemo se ubiti; gdje smo mislili da putuju van, mi ćemo doći u središte našeg vlastitog postojanja; gdje smo mislili da se sami, što će biti s cijelom svijetu. "- Joseph Campbell. Most koji se proteže jaz između konačnosti i beskonačnosti je ljudsko rastrgan između biti i životinja i bog. To je najveći izazov na putu prema samoostvarenja: izmiču ravnoteža koja se mora održavati između poštenja i licemjerja, nemilosrdni prihvaćanje da percepcija stvarnosti je sebi metafora stvarnosti. Cijena ulaznica je predanost stalnom spoznajom da smo izrazito pogrešive bića prepun obmana, baza emocije, pristranosti, i svetiji-od-ti tendencije, Na jednoj strani; istodobno uživajući u točnom jedinstvenost našeg nevjerojatnog bića i veličanstveno zagonetna sklonost prema Bogu poput kreativnosti, Na drugoj strani. Tu je licemjerno svojstvena unutar ljudskog stanja, siguran, ali tu se ništa ne kaže da to ne može biti iskren. Iskrene licemjerje čin credo qua apsurd, obuhvaćajući apsurd. Čovjek može, u jednom dahu, Priznajem da je egzistencija je po sebi besmisleno i, već u sljedećoj daha, poreći da besmisla kao besmislen i potvrditi svoje postojanje kao smislen. “Priznati neistinu kao uvjet života,” napisao je Nietzsche, “to sigurno znači otpor uobičajene vrijednosti osjećaje na opasan način; i filozofija koja pothvati kao što, Samo na taj način, se stavlja onu stranu dobra i zla.” Ako, kao Isaac Newton pisao, "Ja sam vidio dalje od drugih stajao na ramenima divova" onda nas behooves don maske od najvećih heroja koji su otišli prije nas kako bi vidjeli dalje nego što su učinili. Umjetnost nosi masku je srodan stajao na ramenima divova. Ja sam koristiti termin "masku" kao simbol koji metaforički predstavlja čin “stajao na ramenima divova.” Ali, i ovdje je utrljati, svaka maska je značilo da se razbije. Najvažniji maska za break je prvi. Ako prva maska nije slomljena, onda Shadow ostaje u nesvjesnom stanju. Razbijanje prvu masku ćemo prisiliti Sjenu u svjesnom stanju. Jedan od važnijih lekcija naučenih by self-aktualizirao ljudi je priznanje da je prvobitna samouprave sastoji od zvjerinjak osobnosti i pod-sebe, svaki sa snagom nositi mnoštvo maski. To uključuje sivu persona i "tamne" pod-sebe. Kao i Jung je pisao, “Svatko nosi Shadow, i manje je utjelovljena u pojedinca svjesnog života, crnje i gušće postaje.” I tako je noćna mora 'crna zvijer,’ arbitrarnošću sebe, mora biti otkrivena prije nego je ignorirao, mora biti obuhvaćen nego potisnut, i mora, iznad svega, biti prisiljeni da se presele na novi način, kroz novi prolaz. Sveto preokret u vama pretvara svemir. I tako, sveta okretanje vašeg sjeni pretvara sjene. Ne treba izbjegavati sjenu zbog straha da se nemoralno. Nigdje se ona piše da čovjek ne može biti i suosjećajan i individualistička, i ponizan i odvažan, i stabilan i buntovni, i poštovanja i pobunjenička. Ravnoteža i umjerenost u svemu je ključna, pogotovo s Shadow. No, čak i ravnotežu i umjerenost mora biti testiran s vremena na vrijeme kako bi otkrili nove-kaos, što na kraju može biti pretvoren u New reda. Kao Louis Herman je napisao, “Prihvaćanjem neizbježnost naše sjene, Svjesni smo da su i 'ono što mi nismo.’ To ponizno priznavanje nas ograničava od ludila pokušava eliminirati one koji mrzimo i strah u svijetu. Samosavlađivanje, zrelost, i mudrost su definirani od strane naše sposobnosti da se održi napetost između suprotnosti.” Razbijanje prvu masku ponizi sjenu. To nas oslobađa za prelazak na sljedeću "maske,"Za skok na sljedeći" diva ramena. "Mi ne to učiniti, jer želimo ići putem od divova, neminovno, nego zato što želimo saznati što su naučili, i onda vidjeti dalje nego što su učinili. Saznanja stečena postaje sveto alat koji možemo staviti u našu “sveta alat torba” za uporabu na našem jedinstvenom putu. S Kristom alat se krećemo ovu prepreku. S budističke-alat smo uklonili tu prepreku. Uz Nietzsche-alat smo iskoristiti ovu prepreku na tu prepreku, uklanjajući tako obje prepreke. Više sveta alata koje koristimo, jasniji naš put postaje. Više ramenima divova stojimo nakon, dalje vidimo. Više maske drevnih heroja smo don, Više svete stvari se pojaviti. Svijet postaje gigant igralište međusobno, sveto znanje, i to je sve naša za oduzimanje. Naš individuacije odvija u božanstava. Naš samoaktualizacija je pri ruci. I što smo otkrili? Što više znamo, više shvaćamo koliko mi ne znamo. Tako smo bolje njegovati dobar smisao za humor. Izvor slike: Putovanje počinje, by Parablev Komentari Your article is nothing short of genius.
