Look Inside
If there is something that we do not want to let go of to
give way to the work or the inner Being or Spirit in us, pride is behind it.
Whether it be resentment, greed, eating (gluttony),
laziness, a grudge, a certain fear, an avoidance, lust of one kind or another…
pride is behind it.
Pride wishes us to stand apart with our desire, vice, problem
etc. and not surrender to the Being or Spirit within us. The simple act of just
standing separate is pride. The fact of believing more in the desire, vice or
problem than the Being or Spirit is pride.
To believe more in something that is not of what is
essentially us is pride. To believe in the more, the less, the extra, the
additional, the diversion instead of what is essentially us is a separation and
that separation is always pride.
Pride always separates us in relativity, it always separates
those into the more and those into the less. However, in our case this separation
occurs within us.
Remedy to the Inner Separation Caused by Pride
This inner separation can be remedied by reversing the
relativity and duality imposed by pride. When we believe more in the inner
Being or Spirit we merge we then surrender. If we believe that the Being or Spirt
is more the solution, is more contentment, more happiness, more fulfilling then
the separation by pride closes.
To do this we have to work on it and practice it and
reaffirm it and comprehend it deeply. Educate our free essence that the Being
is better, best and the real.
End (1966).
