Okay, now I get the analogy. Thanks for bringing it to attention!

Looking at how silly the 1 lb shoe effectively tames a 4 x 400 lb lion is interesting. 

I have recorded a similar incident in the psyche: 

At 0:33 s, When the male lion bites the female lion's back to let go of the jacket and help humans free up was factual and true.

Human bodied person             →  Core-Self

Male Lion Bodied Person        →  Buddhi/ Intellect

Female Lion Bodied Person   →   Kundalini

Shoe                                       →   Insult or Disciplining Energy

Using one adjunct to fight against another fellow adjunct to free up core-self. It does work well. We call it Distraction! 

When Core-self is playing tug of war with Kundalini against sexual or sensual pleasure, I have used buddhi to bite Kundalini's back by flashing harsh consequences or striking insult energy from core-self or from others to let go of the rope and make a core-self win.

When adjuncts can conspire against core-self, they can also fight within themself. Core-self can also create mutiny among adjuncts and eventually weaken and conquer them.

But, after the mutiny, the core self has to face a bigger enemy who has won the mutiny which is Buddhi!

It is better to fight one on one fight vs one on many fight!

I generally put Buddhi (male lion) against Kundalini (Female lion) to make a core-self win or tame Kundalini with insult or disciplining energy (shoe) or distract kundalini from gross to subtler things!

0:38 s, in this approach when Kundalini (lioness) doesn't get what it wants, it will retaliate and throw tantrums at every adjunct and emit a disgust or unsatisfaction energy.

0:45 s, Core-self (human) just rejected those and feels proud and happy of being let go by Kundalini (Lioness).

0:58 s, Ultimately, Kundalini (lioness) goes back to rest again at her Muladhara base chakra (shade) with a long face waiting for the next oppurtunity.
