As an instructor, I have heard many people say that they are working on themselves. A lot of those people have given up their Gnostic studies now and some have gotten themselves into problems...
I use to be skeptical and cynical when I heard those words. I would tell myself that they are not really working, they think they are but they are not. Though, sooner or later I would find myself in situations which were due to a lack of work on my part... Another instance where judgement does not work...
Now days though, I tell myself that everyone is working on themselves and really everyone is. It's true isn't it that everyone does do some kind of work on themselves, and everyone is interested in getting better at something and being better at something.
The only difference that I have discovered, is that it is very rare to find those that are working seriously on themselves. That is, those who are truly pushing towards dying in themselves.
If someone says that they are working on themselves I tell myself you and that is really good. No envy, no judgement and no disbelief - more good-will.
We are working seriously on ourselves when there is a clear heart felt goal in place to dissolve an ego, we are working consistently towards, and we have yearning to dissolve it in the shortest time that our efforts will allow.
The above are the parameters that we need to know about to work out if we are working seriously on ourselves.
End (2670).
