Spiritual Pride

Spiritual pride is the most dangerous of prides. Intellectual pride is pathetic compared to spiritual pride, and physical pride of muscle or wealth is even more so.

Spiritual pride separates us from others as we look down on ‘ordinary humanity. People wanting to be part of that is its power. Certain groups in the world feel very attached to an idea that is handed down, generation after generation, with the driving force of wanting to leave a legacy. 

Evil is religious in its outlook. It wants power, and maintains that power by any and every means. It cares nothing for humanity; humanity is its daily bread through the maintenance of ignorance.

The driving force of evil’s pride is the materialistic belief in ‘awakening’, 
as opposed to the awakening of consciousness.
