Sacredness does not exist for the true egoist, but does exist for the false egoist who seeks only for himself while not believing in himself as the highest creator in his life. The one who knows nothing higher than himself, yet is always seeking for something higher than himself. The false egoist abases himself by always looking for something higher to serve and sacrifice to, yet never finding anything worthy. In the end everything he does is for the purpose of exalting his own ego even though it is never satisfied because he truly doesn’t believe in himself.
If you must babble today because you babbled yesterday, then you are not the creator of today’s events. You remain trapped by past events. But by living in the present moment you can recognize and act upon each new opportunity that manifests in ways that will create new and exciting futures that you never dreamed of. This is the moment when you are the “creator” of your own life. You are not only yourself, but the creator of yourself and the creator of your life.
The false egoist fails to recognize this because they don’t recognize the higher essence of their own creator self. Because they fail to recognize their own “creator self” it becomes something alien to them, something sacred to them, something external to them that they can never find. It becomes God!
But the human mind seeks to avoid recognizing its own creator self by trying to flee in every possible direction to avoid taking on this horrible responsibility and power. So one sacred thing gradually gives way to the next and to the next until finally one day there are no more sacred things external to ourselves and we are forced to accept responsibility for our own lives. What is so difficult about recognizing that I am my own highest creator and you are your own highest creator? Why should this be such an embittered conflict? Why don’t we have faith in ourselves? We seem to have faith in everything else!
Fantastically well put. Thank you!
