This is a continuation of my previous post "
The Unwillingness to Give up on Something"
The self-interest demon is the 'who' and 'what' I really am. Like, underneath all the 'trying' to 'not be self-interested', I am in fact self-interest personified. And the self-interest demon, only cares about self-interest. Only cares about ENERGY. In fact, it IS pure energy. Always moving around. Sort of a 'catch me if you can'.
Something that sort of can't be 'contained' or 'told what to do'. Something that doesn't follow any 'rules' or structure in any way whatsoever. It JUST WANTS ENERGY. It doesn't care about what 'makes sense'. It doesn't care about your rules or beliefs or ideas or, god forbid, 'intentions'. It sort of 'can't be tamed'.
So, if you do want to 'tame it', you better be very smart about it. Cause it will SABOTAGE every attempt. You better fully understand what you're dealing with. And don't underestimate it. You better recognize, the full extent and existence of this thing.
And you might judge it, and try to deny it. Cause it's not a pretty sight. I mean it's a demon lol. An addiction. But the only way is by accepting it. Like accepting 'ok I guess this is me'. Sort of just being real with yourself about what's really going on. Which might not be what you might have believed about yourself.
Only from that point of acceptance can you start to sort of 'direct it'. Being 'fully aware' that the 'nature' of the self-interest demon is to exploit your every 'weakness'. Which is every little point wherein you're not standing one and equal with it. Points of judgment, suppression and self-delusion.
I forgive myself that I haven't accepted and allowed myself to be honest with myself about this self interest demon within me
i
forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hide this
self interest demon within myself, underneath beliefs about 'who I am'
as positively charged self-delusions - like the belief that 'I care'
and 'I do what's best' and 'I have good intentions' and 'I am a
responsible adult'
I forgive myself that I haven't
accepted and allowed myself to be honest and real with myself about the
fact that 'deep down' I am actually addicted to ENERGY and I care about
nothing else than to satisfy my wants, needs and desires for ENERGY
I
forgive myself that I haven't accepted and allowed myself to see,
realize and understand that the point of 'self-interest' within and as
me is completely without principles, without 'morals', without 'rules',
or 'self-awareness' or 'self-restraint' and so cannot in fact be
'trusted' -- but must be 'accepted' and 'directed', without judgment or
reactions to it
I forgive myself that I haven't
accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand that the
self-interest demon within and as me shows me my self-delusions - as it
WILL NOT LISTEN to anything, unless I stand one and equal with it and
direct it as my equal
I forgive myself that I haven't
accepted and allowed myself to accept the self-interest demon and stand
one and equal with it - and to not make illusions about 'who I am', but
rather accept and realize that this self-interest demon is the 'real me'
as who and what I have become, as addicted to energy
I
forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to make
illusions about 'who I am', within denial and judgment and suppression
of the self-interest demon as 'who I really am' - just because I don't
want to truly see and face the actual 'reality' of me -- instead of
seeing, realizing and understanding that in fact, the self-interest
demon FEEDS off of this self-dishonesty as it uses and exploits my
'weaknesses' to generate energy
I forgive myself that I
have accepted and allowed myself to define myself within and as the
self-delusions in the mind as these positively charged beliefs I have of
myself, which actually just serve to hide the self-interest demon -
instead of being real with myself and accepting the self-interest demon
as one and equal with and as myself and directing it as my equal
I
forgive myself that I haven't accepted and allowed myself to see,
realize and understand that anytime I go into any positively charged
self-delusions, I am only feeding the self-interest demon - and that I
need to simply accept and stand one and equal with it and be real with
myself about how I actually exist 'deep down'
When and
as I see myself accessing positively charged self-delusions in the mind,
as beliefs about myself and 'who I am', then I stop and I breathe, and I
see, realize and understand that I'm just in denial of the reality of
myself, which is that the 'who' and 'what' I have become and am existing
as, is in fact a self-interest demon as an addiction to ENERGY
and
I see, realize and understand that by going into these self-delusional
self-beliefs, I am just feeding the self-interest demon as it feeds off
of my 'weaknesses' as the points wherein I am simply not being honest
and real with myself
and that I just need to accept and
stand one and equal with this self-interest demon in and as me, so that
I can practically, realistically direct it
I commit
myself to be real with myself instead of creating illusions as beliefs
in my mind about 'who I am' - and to accept the self-interest demon as
the 'reality' of 'who' and 'what' I am and have become, and stand one
and equal with it, and to direct it from the starting point of that
oneness and equality -- actually grounding myself by being
'down-to-earth' and 'real' with myself about 'who' I actually am and
what's actually required of me so I can direct me effectively in reality
