Self-importance is a big one. There's a lot of that going on in youtube. Almost no one is 100 % at all times free of self-importance-especially the gurus on youtube who want to moderate your comments before letting you comment.

[JamesJTraitz]

@anatureperson Self importance affects all of us to some degree;most however are in denial and do not even realize it's hold. The key is self remembering so as to recognize and master the tendancy to feel and act self important

[anatureperson]

@JamesJTraitz Well it's not hard to recognize who feels self important- and to me, it's those who want to moderate your comments. Obviously they 'take to heart' whatever you say - something a true-blue guru would never do. Thank you for your response.

@anatureperson your welcome....thank you

@kneecapped1000 Ugh! Like if we would still be alive enough to have gained intelligence&knowledge to control&create stuffs beyond our imagination in this present and even control the universe..i don´t think human att all would fully prevent chaos...the human race are quite egoistical/have a selfcentered mind...we would use our control against things we don´t like and destroy....that´s like what we always have done one way or another..like we would suddenly be completely less selfcentered, no way

@kneecapped1000 I'm sure you will 'feel' it

when you 'know'!

Good Luck!

@JamesJTraitz your video's are wonderful.

I agree with you, but I think, a better explaination,

or rather, a simpler explaination is necessary

to answer questions like kneecapped asked.

I'm not sure I have the answer for him.

As a meditator, things just become 'knowable'

I guess it's the wisdom of the 'heart' the

connection with the universe.

Thanks again, your efforts are appreciated!!!!!

@kneecapped1000 Your questions, are very thoughtful. Do you meditate? The way out of this labyrith is not through intellectual thought, you'll just go around in circles, see Zen their koans attempt to knock you out of intellectualized thought. There is more to your mind, than reason & intellectualization, they are just programs, very workable, when you use them properly. Meditation, will open your mind, to understanding. You are also being victimized by duality & reductionism.

@kneecapped1000 Our souls evolve /'grow' in consciousness and experience-actually in being-by sending out 'selves' into the dimensions of actuality which 'selves' themself grow in consciousness ..animals also evolve in consciousness into and also possess a 'soul-nature'

You might want to do a video on what possibility lay between "repressing" and "not expressing" negative emotions. Because one might not know of anything other than either/or... what is it to not express, but not repress? Thank you.
