This is good news and bad news
good news is that I met you in my heart
and also everything you said was ringing in synchronicity with me
but this also brought some arrogance with it
kind of spiritual arrogance
can you all hear?
it's worth to say it again
because what he says is that
his connection with me, it was like an immediate thing.
like a sort of love at first sight
And he says that is a good thing and bad thing
The good thing is that you felt this meeting inside your heart
The bad thing is that it develops some spiritual arrogance
what is this arrogance? why do you say arrogance?
Because of the feeling on the same page
I kind of started to feel that I am somebody or something
And also the environment makes it like that.
people feel attracted somehow and then you start to feel you are somebody.
It's very good to hear somebody come and really expose feelings like that
because normally we hide this type of thing
we feel embarrassed about it
but he is openly declaring 'Yes, some arrogance came'
because I felt some sense of special-ness.
and also perhaps the way that people begin to respond, because
even if you have a basic understanding
of what I am speaking and after all I try to make it as simple as possible
because it is simple
then if you have swallowed some of it
it's going to have some impact
people may notice that you are more peaceful
even they don't know you,
they may find that some attraction comes.
And some arrogance may come because of that.
Very often people get some spiritual insight
some opening
and some arrogance comes.
And you have to watch this. It can be very subtle.
You may even feel good about it.
'I am special'
And some person may ask 'What is the problem?'
'After all it is something special!'
It's not good to start to feel that you are special, because
really
the true resident in this body is God
and the first born, the Christ-consciousness, which manifests as the feeling of presence inside
neither of them feel 'I am special'
Can you imagine that God needs to feel special?
Among whom?
so it's not that
something wants to feel special
the one who feels unscpecial
wants to feel special, you see
so you watch this tendency. It's not you.
but it is very appealing when we are in the mode of person-hood.
the person wants to be special, wants to be important,
wants to be remembered and so on
it's very attractive for the personal form of consciousness for a while
but I love that you expose this thing
because clearly you must have seen that it gets in the way of something
because you may hold on to the feeling of special-ness
you don't grow
you have a little knowledge and it plateaus of
you are not growing
no inspiration is coming
because the truth will not reveal itself
in an arrogant mind.
