Hubris & Greed

Wednesday, 25. March 2009 6:52

Hubris is being proud of being better than someone else.

Greed is the desire to be better than someone else.

Hubris is the insolence of our attitude when disconnected from the Authority of our Soul.

Greed is the wanton desire of our will when disconnected from the Power of our Soul.

Hubris is the arrogance of our ego self that believes in the power of its own authority.

Greed is the arrogance of our ego self that believes in the authority of its own power.

Hubris is founded on the belief that the more money that we have, the more influence that we have, and the better the person that we are.

Greed is founded on the need to be better than others in the belief that the best people have the most money, the most wealth and the most influential power.

Greed and Hubris are both nurtured by the belief that money is power and status affords authority and they are both most evident in the Upper Classes of any society that considers its self to be Superior.

Avarice

Tuesday, 24. March 2009 7:04

Avarice is the pursuit of Power over other people.

Avarice is the need to be better than other people, by having more power than other people.

In our disconnection from our True Source of Power, we compete with other people for our  Emotional Power.

In our modern society, we measure how much power we have over other people by how much influence we have over other people.

Our ability to influence others is measured by the amount of money that we have, the amount of status that we have and the amount of  superior knowledge that we have.

Avarice, also known as greed, is driven by the false belief that the accumulation of knowledge, status and money will give us influence and power over other people.

By the Law of Attraction: When we seek power over other people, other people will seek to take our power away from us.

Competing for power results in a competition for power, which translates in modern society as a competition to see who can win and achieve the success of having the most money, the highest status and the greatest intelligence.

When we seek to become healthier, wealthier and wiser than others, we run the risk of losing the competition for Life.

We no longer have to compete for our Life. We have already won the Race to be Human.

Health, Wealth & Wisdom are our birthright and our True Nature, once we learn to connect to the True Nature of our Self, which is our Soul and Inner Coach.

Gluttony & Greed

Friday, 19. December 2008 2:22

Gluttony and Greed are often confused.

Gluttony is having or wanting more than enough of something or anything.

The opposite of gluttony is scarcity or less than enough of something or anything.

Gluttony is often defined as over-eating or over-indulging with food. It is in fact the over-indulgence or extravagance of anything.

Too much of anything is gluttony.

Greed is often seen as depriving someone else of what they want by having too much oneself. This belief derives from a scarcity mentality and is in fact a judgement of gluttony.

Greed is the belief that we are superior or better than another.

The opposite of greed is pleasing.

Pleasing is being humble or adopting an inferior stance to someone else’s superior power or authority.

The greed of winning or attaining a higher status than another, is rarely seen as a sin in our modern society, which is why greed has become synonimous with gluttony rather than its true definition.

Discrimination, bias, preferential treatment and prejudice are all examples of greed and pleasing others selectively.

Greed is an aspect of arrogance without humbleness which has false self-confidence and esteem.

Gluttony is without contentment, abundance and knowing what is enough.
