achievements

As a daily meditator, I’ve often asked myself if I could reap more benefits from my practice.

We are proud of the things we have achieved. Pride in our profession, our performance, our awards. In our country, our city.

If our pride is so great, then why are there always people who try to convince us that their achievements are better? And why do we have to defend and justify our own?

Looking at the Map of Consciousness, we see that pride is still calibrated in negative territory. This means that it is a contracting energy with a tendency to slip further into negative territory. Why?
