Recently, it has been understood that there is great sadness from Spirit about the way humans are behaving. It seems there is no going back to a place where we might have corrected some of our actions; that time has passed, and we are facing what has been designed by the Great Mind.
One of the behaviours that stands out at this time is arrogance; we would call it blind arrogance, because that is what arrogance is. People are unable to see beyond their own desires, needs, goals and belief systems. It is a part of the flaw of Self, which, as we know, is a strong flaw at this time. So, if people are not considering how they are, including any weakness they might have, then this weakness will continue. In the case of blind arrogance, the ego will continue to inflate making it no doubt a higher place to fall from and a harder landing when the time comes; for in coming to the Earth, you are coming to learn, so in time, in the due season, something will come along in your life to bring you up short and force you to contemplate who you are and how you have behaved.
You could see this as part of the gift of life from the Great Mind: by behaving in ways against the Natural Law, a situation will arise that allows you to pause and find the strength and courage needed to face the truth. Some of what happens related to a flaw will be tapestried, because it is all part of the design of that life, which offers the potential to make spiritual progress through the tests that will follow. But some things that happen will be your choice, your responsibility, in how you behave and whether you take the opportunity to stop and think and reflect on your own weakness.
In order to learn the lessons of, in this case, blind arrogance, you will need to do wrong, perhaps many times. But it is only through doing wrong and perhaps causing much stress and trauma to others that you will have the experience to help you later, when you are ready to face the truth. This truth could hit you at any time and in different ways. It is similar to any event that happens in the World. Why has the event happened? It is because something is not right. If the root cause of the problem is not addressed, the event will be repeated. So, if you experience a situation where something has not gone well, finding the courage to look at yourself is a major step forward; the alternative is continued expression of the flaw.
It may be that you start to observe a person turning away from you, showing disrespect in your view, or simply feeling that you are not admired as your ego demands. Why is this happening? If you can ask yourself this question, you are drawing on the strength that is within you and giving yourself a chance to turn things around. Having an awareness, then, of something not right, and perhaps a realisation of the arrogance being a part of your nature, is in effect half the battle because you are facing the truth. The reality is dawning. You might feel deflated, depressed, angry, even, but acknowledging the truth will surely release a burden you didn’t know you were carrying. You have been going against the Natural Law, which can be painful when facing reality. This is because a journey of understanding is needed to overcome the weakness and turn it into a quality of strength.
If half the battle is acknowledging the truth, the other half is then working to diminish the arrogant manner and thoughts that shape this flaw. Self-analysis, as with all the flaws, is key to this work, and it will take time to overcome, but the understanding that follows will give depth and breadth to what has been necessary to learn. With a positive desire to correct behaviour and the strength to face how you have been without remorse, then this can be truly rewarding, both in how you slowly come to feel about yourself and your interactions with others. You can feel more peaceful, less burdened, and less stressed because you are working for a good purpose and tuning in more to the Natural Law.
You will find more joy in others because you start to consider others more; their needs, their problems, even perhaps the realisation that they, too, have this flaw of self and that it might also demonstrate a blind arrogance. Because this is the interesting thing about life: we are all a mirror to each other, reflecting the truth that has the potential to help all cast in its reflection. If you are analysing another’s weakness, is it not logical that you may well be identifying something you have knowledge of because it is a part of you? If you have not faced the truth about yourself, you are, in effect, being reminded of your own weakness, which may cause you to dislike a person or have thoughts of a critical nature.
So, how you react to a person demonstrates how far you have come in your own understanding and acceptance, and whether you have found peace through the work necessary to overcome any flaw. If you can feel tolerant of this person with the same flaw, if you can find some generosity in your thoughts towards them, appreciating their situation, then this will be reflected, and demonstrate that your weakness has become a strength. You might even get a chance to help this person by graciously offering a word that helps them see the truth of their behaviour. But this should only be done when the circumstances present themselves, and you feel you can use the opportunity to help another. This may never be the case, but you can still be responsible for how you are and hope this helps another. As Erasmus has said, we teach most by example – good or bad; a positive recall when witnessing the display of blind arrogance.
