Unlimited Horizons
The higher the stage we focus on, the clearer we perceive what causes arrogance within us and how to neutralize it.
In STAGE 9 arrogance merely surfaces as mild emotion. Yet its ever so slight egoistic urge stops further expansion.
At this stage we easily identify and neutralize any manifestation of this challenge.
Practical Tips • It's irrelevant whether everyone bows to your point of view.
What matters is to advance to higher stages.
Leave the sphere where you're always right. Wanting to always be right only rivets you to your present level.
Cherish new clues from anyone providing them - even from those deemed far beneath your status.
• Positions defended by pride and arrogance are not based
on better arguments, but solely on the projection of negative energy (aggression, unwillingness etc.).
Battling them restricts you to their narrow scope. Simply ignore them, they won't help you grow in any case.
• The more arrogant an opinion gets presented, the more
narrow-minded it is.
• The more sovereign and secure we are in our knowledge,
the more we tolerate or accept the views of others.
