Vanity and Pride

Vanity is having a false picture of self that one is better than others, more right than others, more talented or better talented than others. Pride is the defense of that false picture of self by fighting, running, or blaming others; therefore by becoming a victim of others who are victimized. Self esteem is a synonym of vanity.

Individuality is the expression of "X" in each individual form of Life, for instance, talents, self respect is recognizing what I am, where I am, what's going on here, and what I can do. This needs no defense. It is my way of saying "thank you". In the event that Pride has died, vanished or disappeared,  individuality and self respect is what remains.

There is little opportunity for individuality and self respect to be manifested as long as there is Vanity and Pride. The ultimate expression of Vanity and Pride is the Belief that I can figure out what is right, what is good, what ought to be, what I need, what you need. This opens the door for every demon in hell (all the NOT I's), to give you the answers to what is good, what is bad, what ought to be, what I need, what you need, what the future will be and why it is that way. The only catch is, they give two answers, directly opposing to each other---A and B. This is experienced as confusing, depression, worry, anxiety, anger, guilt, fear, insecurity, and leads one to look under rocks trying to find the ultimate answer. In as much as one continuously gets two answers, this is experiencing Hell -- this is Hell.

An honest man

                                           The Perfect complete being

Sees that it is to his advantage for survival, that others wake up. Not important.

He sees that waking up consists in seeing that I am subject to the product of suggestion.

He sees there are many little I's all struggling within him for their rights.

He sees that to be able to repudiate a suggestion silently and cunningly, not to buy the suggestion, is to have one I.

He sees to be consciously selfish is to be free of greed and suggestion.

He sees that to be conscious is to be free of conflict and disintegration, thus unpredictable.

He sees that not to be consciously selfish is to be struggling for the ideal, the non disturbed, and the countless threats to his non disturbance of the ideal. He builds false explanations for his actions based on his feelings in relationship to his environment and others.

He does not ask why he is here.

He does not concern himself with the how of anything.

He sees there is a culture of living, thus removes all limitation.

He discovers and actualizes his potentials.

He sees that conditioning, influences and programming are an obstruction to the actualizing of potential what ever that might be.

He sees that the machine must eventually break down, due to struggling, resisting, and the stress upon the instrument.

He sees without evaluation or judgement what is.

He does not justify, or approve or disapprove of what others do, since he understands that what they are doing, they feel is right, or proper, or justifiable........Agape love....perfect for time and place.

He sees not opposites, only the what is.
