Self Importance

Premasudha reminds us that self-abandonment & self-importance are
just different sides of the same wound. The trouble is our ego's self-importance can block the teacher's wise guidance and unconditional love for us, which if received, would heal our abandonment issues. A teacher patiently waits for us to feel safe enough to relax into the healing. Sometimes to heal means to admit we have a dark side too. Since it takes two to tango, perhaps our troubles are not 100 per cent the fault of others. Premasudha's obvious love and compassion are the spoonful of sugar that helps us swallow even this bitter medicine.

Gosh this is so helpful Janet. I am at the beginning of breast cancer transformation. I don't know what to expect other than several surgeries. This idea of letting go of self importance is a perspective shift on letting go of individual grudges. Self importance feels like the root cause like a shadow, more than each individual grudges or resentment. I've been really searching for a way to let go of resentments and this seems so much more accessible to me right now. Thank you so much. Also I didn't know you had been through breast cancer It's really helpful to hear from someone who has similar beliefs as me who has been through this. Blessings to you Janet.
