A great challenge and maybe the greatest source of fear we face.  I meet so many people who feel uncomfortable when I look for the good in them... like hiding behind the mask is some sort of a safe place. I am pretty good at seeing their shadow and often predict what behavior I can expect.  I'm not sure who they believe they are fooling? I actually like what I see most of the time--I see people desperately wanting to be accepted for their goodness, yet affraid to be too authentic.

Self importance. Are we really all that important outside of being a material vessel for the spirit to rest in?

On the way to the top, and Western Civilization has reached the top, one loses one's identity and one's integrity.

Do you know who and what you are?

"I am a humble servant seeking truth and serving those who ask for help; but I am not being asked. I believe this is because as a free man, with a knowing of self, others may not know what to ask of me, for they may not know themselves well enough to want to awaken; they may not be able in the least to recognize their special gifts, and in turn to ask questions of their greater self"
