Transcending the Self Cult

In my pursuit of greatness I realize that I have never fully defined it. I wont go into that here, because I don't know that definition yet.

What I do know, is that the world of the self - the world where we promote all things having to do with being perceived as completely unreliable on anything or anyone else - and that unreliance is naturally THE source of success - THAT world is a myth.

It is the prison of loneliness and not getting your way. It's filled with anger and lack and being lost. Because there is only the self and no other data points to provide context, then there is no perspective on one's problems. Those problems, therefore go unsolved.

It is a cult that requires one to be the master of one's domain. And that requires a LOT of money. Money to hire servants and vendors and consultants. Money to build up reserves of cash in case there's a threat to the career or the investments. Money to drive the nicest cars and visit the nicest places. Money to create the the appearance as well as acts of influence. Money and the cult of the self doom one to never connecting with one's greater purpose.

Money and a global or even spiritual perspective, however, work like a contribution to the greater good. Much more than money and the right perspective are needed to make a solid contribution.
