52 - Self-importance - the Self-defeating Attribute of the Self-focused Fear-enslaved Mortal

Image
Self-importance 48:6.37 You will learn that you increase your burdens and decrease the likelihood of success by taking yourself too seriously. Nothing can take precedence over the work of your status sphere—this world or the next. Very important is the work of preparation for the next higher sphere, but nothing equals the importance of the work of the world in which you are actually living. But though the work is important, the self is not. When you feel important, you lose energy to the wear and tear of ego dignity so that there is little energy left to do the work.

The High Spiritual State of  "Ever-momentarily" and "Ever and Always"  2:7.4 ...Truth is beautiful because it is both replete and symmetrical. When man searches for truth, he pursues the divinely real. 180:5.2 ...Divine truth is a spirit-discerned and living reality. The Truth with No Agenda From the wisdom-discerning level of divine truth-perception...the majority of the seven decades of my experiencing in the hue-manimal bio-suit has been "shifting" back and forth from the easily programmable and robotic mere consciousness level (consciousness) into the evolving soul self-awareness (the consciousness of being conscious) level.  Within the last decade...new "shifts" are occurring back and forth between the natural (spark of life-force) consciousness (consciousness) into the morontial self-aware level (the consciousness of being conscious) and the Thought Controller spiritualized level of tri-dimensional consciousness (the consciousness of the ...
