The Ego Trap and The Shadow of Self Importance
Worst thing you can do is use words and ideas to feel better about yourself
Words and ideas are prone to ego inflation to the most distorted degree. These comforting words and ideas are also like a drug, temporarily gives you a quick dopamine hit and keep you feening for more. "Intellectuals" / mind-heavy people tend to fall into this trap. A stroking of their own ego.
Twisted and distorted comparison is their drug. Racism / Race-Superiorism , genderism / Gender-Superiorism, politics, classism, etc.. these are all just idea masturbations they are not linked to you as an individual. This is you attempting to don on a fake mask of identity to feel important without actually earning self importance yourself. They are linked to you trying to feel better about yourself indirectly...
Obsession with titles. Every time you try to tout "your group" you've identified with to be great you need to be careful with the ego trap. It's often rooted from a place where people lack self importance trying to feel importance even if it is a pseudo method in doing so
Everyone is obsessed with the mind stuff and the identity stuff because their connection to their own self and body sucks. Their sense as an individual body is nothing great, so the mind and identity stuff is just a coping mechanism.
Feeling is a bodily sensation. The only way to actually feel better about yourself is do better. Your self worth sucks because you suck as a human Being. You just need to step it up as a human Being and align more to your inner self instead of your outer self. Soul over the masked shallow Ego. Only then you can settle yourself in your own body instead of being stuck in distorted ideas about yourself
TL DR
- People who lack self importance try to fulfill that need indirectly through identifying with groups, namely groups that makes them feel superior than others
- These people are the same people who get triggered if someone else directly claim the great things that someone else has done or can do, not realizing they themselves are low key envious/jealous and disconnected with their own sense of self importance
This is the shadow of self importance. The triggers are the archetypal and the individual's relationship to it. The hate is towards the individual's relationship to the archetype, but they like to believe it is the other to feel better about themselves
The ego trap... Saying you are important without really Being important. Saying you are great without Being great. You flex your ego but it really is just air, an inflated ego. Thoughts and ideas are just air. The ego can only be properly filled with Soul.. and Soul can only be found in Art & Beauty, in Creativity & Freestyle, and in Healing & Strive... The Force of Life itself or LifeForce Energy
Does your action and energy steer the world towards the expansion of Life and impulse of Life... Or does your actions only feeds your ego and steer the world towards collapse of life moving towards extinction, an all consuming ego. This is what creates the shadow of self importance... Where you stand between Creator and Consumer of the Impulse of Life
