One day it bothered me. I am aware I have become this “great” person. I have arrived at a certain point in my spirituality. And with it is power. Because I have liberated myself somewhat from self, the liberation from self actually becomes power because I am able to soar above most things. It came to me my mind could not deny what I know. Great sages like the Dalai Lama has to know they are great but they stay humble. I realized the importance is to stay humble.

I do not believe I am though, there is still a fair amount of self-celebrating which means I am not free from self. Free to some extent to where I am able to work with myself.
