Less Self-Obsession - (5121)

We think we are not self-obsessed but we all are. We all while we are asleep have a degree of it.

We can see it easily in others but not in ourselves.

The less self-obsessed we are the closer we are to awakening.

When we are self-obsessed we take ourselves very seriously and when we are criticised we react angrily and feel very upset.

The less self-obsessed we are the less we react and the more we can appreciate the the truth or part truth of the criticism.

The key of self-obsession is the belief that we are something that we are not and the deep fascination with the 'something that we are not'. Self-obsession is made of two errors, first the false belief and second the fascination with the what we falsely believe in.

For example to believe we are honest and awake and then to be fascinated with honest and awake instead of being honest and awake - the essence - the consciousness.
