Unlimited Horizons
• Decide if feeling self-important is more valuable than
inner growth. • Remembering how hurt we felt when others treated us
with arrogance and haughtiness (e.g. during childhood), - why then make others feel this way? Certainly - We are the pride of creation no-one will ever reach and of which there can be only one.
Sure. - Unfortunately we'll hardly find others to endorse this, since everyone else also feels to be the crown of creation.
So let's scale it down a bit - in the huge emotional space beyond the region of arrogance we'll find inner sovereignty entirely independent of others recognizing
or confirming it. • Open up to new ideas and concepts from every source
that is presenting them. • Realize that you are not enlightened yet - otherwise why
would you be reading this text. So why not ask others for assistance if this enables you to reach higher spheres faster. And if arrogant treatment hurts you, you can easily remove this from your life. Just stop dealing it out to those 'beneath' you (children, subordinates, trainees, students etc.). Dealing it out inevitably programs you to experience this problematic emotion from the receiving end as well. Stop this vicious circle before it even begins.
