Hello Kchoo,
There is only two things I would like to question in your list and that is:-
Pride is no longer useful...
and possibly:-
Letting go of what no longer has value...
Pride
It has to have value otherwise we become unimportant to others. Pride is belief in ourselves and without that we lose both our values and identity. Not only with ourselves but with others. We may say it does not matter what others may think of us as all what matters is what we KNOW about ourselves? That in itself is being conceited .
I had dealt with very high entities and they have pride. The ancient gods do/did . Martyres who allowed themselves to die for what they believe in. Of course it is pride based on belief. They do/did not say:- "Oh I know I am this or that...why should I die for it?"
Saints all had pride. Joan of Ark was a saint.
It is only latter day 'ramming of methods at schools' which tell children that the ego is wrong. People have to be controlled and to shut their mouths. We simply cannot be allowed to say what we think or believe because it goes against the status quo of society which enforces discipline.
Pride is also respect in ourselves. It means that we bow down gracefully to take a stance with ourselves. Getting dressed properly and buying new cloths instead of smelling like a pig.
Letting go of what no longer has value
Me! Folks say that I have no value and to b*gger off! Relationships? Do we get rid of people who we no longer need?
Everything has value that passes through our lives. What has value and what does not have value?
Lack of USEFULNESS???
You have value to me, but as long as you have value in yourself and pride then you have my respect. Respect is pride and when YOU believe in yourself you have my respect. Value...you have none other than who you are.
If I ran you over in my car you would have value because then you would be burden (and a bl**dy liability)
Value is the worth what we see in others. I would never let go of something that had no value because it did have value at one point and just because it outlived it's usefulness does not mean that I would let it go.
I would question this kundalni?
