The Mass Image Of Self-Importance
By The Pathwork Guide
Greetings, my friends. God bless all of you, God bless this hour. We have often discussed inferiority feelings and their true origins. This is an important trend in human nature, and therefore needs further understanding in your work of self-finding. I think that by now you clearly understand that the real reasons for inferiority feelings are hidden. Subconsciously you do register your imperfections and inadequacies, and while you do not want to face them and come to terms with them, your knowledge of them does persist. You cannot eradicate that. So you seek relief from it and mistakenly believe that this can be accomplished by receiving attention, admiration, and approval. We have already established -- and many of you have found this out by now -- that no matter how much approval you receive, the relief is only a very temporary one at best. So much for a short recxapitulation of what has been said on this subject so far.
