The first deadly sin is PRIDE: “An excessive love of self or the desire to be better or more important than others. ‘Respect for the human person proceeds by way of respect for the principle that “everyone should look upon his neighbor (without exception) as ‘another self,’ above all bearing in mind his life and the means necessary for living it with dignity.”‘” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance174 views0 answers0 votesYourdictionary.com also has this to define arrogance: “Having excessive pride in oneself, often with contempt for others.” From this definition, we can glean that arrogance is not synonymous with pride, but with excessive pride that corrupts the person. Why does excessive pride become a toxic and corrosive influence? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs220 views0 answers0 votesThe common assumption is that arrogance is really a cover for deep inner insecurity and doubt about one’s standing, value, and capabilities. So this implies that not all of the arrogant fully believe their own exaggerated self-appraisal. Are some of the arrogant self-aware of their arrogance, while others are genuinely clueless? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs255 views0 answers0 votesWe know that arrogance is a huge problem for beings in the physical, especially when cut off from intuitive feedback from others. But it seems that arrogance is also a problem for light beings, as exemplified by the fall of Lucifer and his cohorts. In the light, it would seem arrogance poses a problem because nothing is hidden. If light beings are aware of the thoughts of those around them they would know immediately if someone is out of alignment. Can such naked exposure to the assessment of others produce both humbling and incendiary effects? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs224 views0 answers0 votesThe essence of enlightenment is to be fully in alignment with the divine. It seems arrogance of any kind would be a good indicator of how far away or close one is in terms of divine alignment. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs223 views0 answers0 votesSetbacks for the arrogant appear to either induce humility, or rage, perhaps even a complex mix of the two. Resulting rage can be targeted at the self, others, or both. What is it about rage that can overwhelm humility, and even eventually extinguish it all together?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs218 views0 answers0 votesIt would seem that humility is in fact a striving for excellence, while rage is a striving for revenge. The lust for power seems to be a desire to give everyone a successful comeuppance—except for the self. Unchecked, it seems rage begets more and more rage until the mind is filled with nothing else. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs233 views0 answers0 votesThe size of a setback can have a significant bearing on whether the result is humility or rage. For instance, a parking ticket legitimately earned, even if unintentionally, is likely to result in humility. But if the car is towed, impounded, and quickly sold at auction the next day by corrupt officials, the result is not likely to be “humility.” Some setbacks are karmic, but others are first offenses or unearned and undeserved insults. Humility seems to have the deck stacked against it in these situations.

It does seem the more arrogant the being, the less of this is taking place internally. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs234 views0 answers0 votesHow can Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help both others and the self overcome the toxic and corrosive influences of arrogance, and assist the individual in seeking and valuing humility rather than seeking and valuing revenge?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs238 views0 answers0 votesThere is a saying that “pride goeth before the fall.” Is pride in a sense, the antithesis of love, in that pride always needs an inferior source of comparison? For instance, when one is proud of their athletic achievement, that emotion itself is dependent on a knowing that others failed to acquire that same level of achievement? Is pride a focus on the self, either directly or vicariously, resulting from a “me” or “us” versus “them” mentality?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Potential304 views0 answers0 votesIs it accurate to say that motivation to do anything stems wholly from one of only two base emotions—love or pride? From the former comes the desire to unify and uplift all, and from the latter comes the desire to conquer and fully elevate the self over all others?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Potential286 views0 answers0 votesDuring a Lightworker Healing Protocol session, an intuitive heard a demon say repeatedly, that they just wanted to die – over and over. Is this a being so wretched, that it has lost BOTH love AND pride? And therefore lacked any desire to continue existing? In other words, this being lost ALL meaningful motivation (other than a base hunger for energy) because in order for there to be motivation to do anything constructive or even competitive, one must be guided by either love or pride emotions? When one has lost both, is there truly anything left?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Potential328 views0 answers0 votesIs this why a truly egalitarian philosophy and political system cannot possibly arise from emotionless rational thinking? Because there would be no motivation to engage in the rational thinking in the first place? And that all such resulting structures, are in actuality either a product of love or pride (or a mixture of both) but never a product of anything else because, without these emotion-based motivations, there would be no action to create any philosophies or politics in the first place?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Potential306 views0 answers0 votes
