Sorry
Sorry about being so rude, I am only writing from
experience. I am not targeting anybody (in the whole post) I’m just posting
something I have experienced with this ego.
When it Grows
Self-importance when it grows just like every other ego it becomes
quite harmful to us and others, and one place that it harms more than any other
place is our mental health. Lust for example affects more than anything else
our mental and sexual health, and anger - the health of our heart, fear - the health
of our stomach and nerves, and so on and so on.
When this ego becomes very big we start to suffer like crazy
and think that whatever is said positive or negative is about us or for us, when
of course it isn’t.
We think that when a lecturer is talking he or she is talking
about us or for us. We, for example see a bus with a message on it or a number
on it and we think that it is a special symbol or message for us and we think
that people should be taking care of us, thinking of us and doing things for us
all the time.
Does not See the Unbalance
With this stupid ego, it is stupid because it does not see
that it is unbalanced and the unbalance is the source of its pain, it just wants
to receive and receive and this makes it fatter and uglier and increases its sufferings, because it goes against the fundamental law of nature.
Desire to be Important to People
There is that desire in self-importance of wanting to be
important to people and that is often an illusion. But we suffer like crazy
when we are not taken into account by others. That has to be inverted to what
is realer or truer and it is that the Being (which is higher part of ourselves)
must be the most important thing to us and not us being the most important to others
because we can not be and never will be. We must have the Being ever present in
us just as we want others to have us always present.
The secret why we expect this of others is because we do it
for or with others and that is the way that we think that we love them and it
may be so though others love in different ways and we are projecting our way of
loving onto them, which may not be correct. It isn’t correct because it hurts
doesn’t it.
End (949).
