SELF-REVEALIZATION ACCEPTANCE® – UNDERSTANDING SELFISHNESS: PART 1

Many people have problems when they contemplate voluntary change. This is because they fear inconveniencing others for the wrong reasons, such as the aforementioned negative sentiment and manipulative grace. As a result they unwittingly seek an excuse to keep the status quo. By ignoring their true feelings and negating their desires, they create additional frustration and confusion for themselves. This is because they do not understand the virtue of selfishness, either pure or impure. Incorrectly used, selfishness is your enemy. When it is intelligently cultivated, selfishness is your best friend.

Pure selfishness is the best thing, as it is the giving of any aspect of yourself with the sure knowledge that the equivalent good, or preferably better, returns to you without your having to wonder where or when it is going to come. It is a form of giving that is without expectation of reward and is a mature, intelligent, logical and realistic attitude to have. By your very act of giving, all good things grow through you as new experiences while opening new areas of consciousness that you may never have been aware of. This includes money and love, the two things that everyone wants, but many people fear having because of insecurities as a result of negative sentiment and manipulative grace. Pure selfishness is based on self-love, but it must be correctly understood. It is an expression of appreciation to the Creative Power of the Universe.

When you love yourself first and foremost, it is easy to love others without restraint or condition, and you should continue to do so until the object of your love proves unworthy according to your feelings, and your feelings alone, at which time you can withdraw it and love something else if you are so inclined. Assuming you have a healthy mind, you will eventually get past the emotional impact of the object of your love. However, make sure not to love superficially. Love completely, and if you are rejected for any reason, release that person or thing from your consciousness without a second thought with a self-revealization acceptance to alleviate the condition. It will not cause disharmony.

Love is a genuine part of everyone’s life, and though this should not be a revelation, the reasons for misunderstanding love may be. Think about the things you truly love or think you love. If necessary, construct another list. By the way, writing lists is how you come to terms with those things in your life that matter most because words precede function. Ponder the things you are most selfish about. Are they the same? Consider the reasons for both, and in the order of importance, find the connection between what you love and what you are most selfish about. For now do not be concerned about your motives being pure or impure.

Contemplate the order in which you thought about these things. Did you select yourself as number one in both lists? If not, there is a good chance that you do not have the self-esteem you think you have. Regardless of what others may think about you, it is important to see yourself as first and foremost in your life: before wife or lover, before children, before job, career, or anything else. This may seem like a harsh statement, but when you think about it, you will see that if you do not acknowledge yourself as truly number one in your life, you cannot adequately provide for the needs of anyone or anything else, material goods notwithstanding. You will still be seeking your own self-acceptance. Acceptance of yourself as the number one priority in your life must be understood as the prime factor for being. An attitude of pure selfishness puts you in accord with the values you place on everything else.

Impure selfishness is foolish as well as debilitating. It is a form of being in love with yourself, and being in love with yourself is not to be confused with loving yourself. Being in love with yourself is demeaning and evidences a true lack of self-esteem. It is loaded with arrogance, conceit and false pride, along with a general contempt for everyone and everything else. Impure selfishness destroys the good in your life whether you realize it or not. It limits the good that can come to you because of the general “comes around, goes around” principle. When you give something with impure selfishness, you give with a closed heart in the hopes of receiving it back in like amount, perhaps from the source you gave it to. You secretly hope you will not be losing what you are giving away. Hope, incidentally, is based on wishful thinking and is a limitation of acceptance.

When you give in the purity of totality and completeness, there is never a need to worry about losing anything. Knowing that all is returned in abundance and that the universe is not limited, anything and everything you could ever desire is available in larger amounts than can ever be conceived of or accepted. There is always more of everything, and with sincerity of giving as mentioned above, you don’t have to know where and when it will come from. On the level of the Absolute, the Creative Power of the Universe, everything already exists and needs only to be accepted.
