Turandot (15) - The Temptations

Ping, Pang and Pong, as representatives of established power, immediately seek to bring the young and enthusiastic dreamer with immediate profit prose ("You who gaze at the stars, lower your eyes"), and they do trying to seduce him with those temptations that they know are always very powerful and usually no such resists (the proposals that we can not reject ...): sex, money and power. The
puzzles were three, and three are the temptations, or rather the pressure accompanied by reward.
To save his life, the ministers proposed to the Prince to escape, leaving unfinished the victory, and in exchange offers, if you love what you're looking sexy, so many beautiful girls ("Look, I am beautiful / I am beautiful in bright veils ! lithe body ...").

Al decided not to Calaf, pass the second attack by offering baskets of all kinds of jewels, riches and treasures, pouring abundantly ("blue fire! / These shining gems! / Green splendor! / Pale hyacinths! / The red flames Above Rubies! / I drops of stars! / Get is all yours! "). Without thinking
a moment, the answer is "No!" absolute and then moves to the third proposal: that it relies on the desire for power and glory. "You want glory? We will let you escape ... and go away with the stars, to fabulous empires", suggesting ministers to Calaf, while the entire crowd cheering him to accept and run.
The young hero has needed all his courage to get rid of what looks like a nightmare and calls the dawn, her ally, to pass free of such pressures, and reaffirms "the world collapses, I want to Turandot." It remains so faithful to his research and his heart. Only those chosen souls are so firmly, and the talent to resist such pressures can not be improvised ("I resist everything except temptation, "said Oscar Wilde with the usual, ruthless and ironic truth.)

The theme of temptation in a very difficult test is proper to the great spiritual paths and do not be surprised if we dare to compare to the Buddha and Calaf even the Christ. Prince Siddhartha became the Buddha (the enlightened one) after the famous night when, sitting under the tree of knowledge, he managed to stay completely calm and unflappable in the face of Mara, the demon-eros India that assailed him with visions triggered by the work required of three children, troubled, Inspiration and Pride, and three daughters, dissatisfaction, pleasure and greed. On behalf of the children can understand the nature of temptations and see what are basically the same as the ministers of Calaf in Turandot present. The Buddha's victory will bring the dawn and all of its heavenly rejoice with him ( Aśvaghoṣa , "The deeds of the Buddha, ed. Adelphi).
From Freud we know how powerful and important impulses related to sexuality, so as to have a low sex drive libido all attracting fierce criticism of contemporary educated in the nineteenth-century moral yet (the publication of 'The Interpretation of Dreams "opens in 1900 ) Adler and instead set his whole psychology about the "will to power", another great drive, almost always denied, but just as powerful.
Jung attempt to go beyond, not denying their importance, but recognizing the need to find the man's ultimate self-realization (the process of identification) or not nell'esaudimento immediate removal, but the transformation under the guidance of the instinctual drives of the self. Only a few are committed to this process and the great champions of the spirit are the models.
The temptations that Jesus (before he became the Christ) will face during its 40-day retreat in the deserts miss the temptation of sex (at least the Gospels, which completely removes sexuality, do not mention it) and are pressing ones power, glory and pride to boundless omnipotence. However, it is important that even Jesus had his temptations by the adversary, and only by passing has been able to start the real mission. Other temptations will come back eventually, to underline the difficulty of the choice and the drama of the last sacrifice. Without this, the ethical value does not exist and could be an individual choice.

Returning to Calaf and its temptations, this is the time when there is further clarified the nature of its transport and Turandot, which outlines what is happening is primarily a spiritual path and identified, because all'esaudimento immediate instincts he prefers to fight and to win a woman who is the most secret depths of its soul, which makes it unique and indispensable. Turandot The fascination exerted upon him immediately because of the nature of the projection of Soul, more than a mere sexual attraction, the same projection of Soul that make up Dante and Beatrice which led him to make big business through the " travel "dangerous. Turandot is the Soul to regain it, or rather that aspect of women's inner man, in the progression of the unilateral and domineering patriarchal consciousness, has estranged himself from inimicandosela. Only men more sensitive to notice it, usually artists, and often the poem is a song in search of unity interior (harmony) that we lost long ago, a search of his heartfelt princess raped and abandoned, and when it happens in front of trovarsela, we must be able to do any test to win her back.
