Re: Earthly Ambitions

Dear Rawn,

Thank you for the prompt response. 

Just to fully understand the meaning of your words, I would like to 
bring an hypothetical example of some one who did a very sincere, 
thorough examination of his self. He followed his inner truth, 
listened to his inner voice. The results were quite good, and he 
came up with over 200 bad traits which he then carefully assigned to 
every element. There was only one problem, he did not fully 
appreciate the negative impact that his vengfulness had on him and 
failed to include the trait in his "Black" Soul Mirror. This should 
not surprise us, as he was still in the very beginning of his 
spiritual path, and his senses were sometimes deceptive. 
With years of intensive work he managed to transform his negative 
traits in the mirror into positive ones. From his point of view, he 
became a very good human being, only that he still was quite 
vengeful, and anybody around him could testify this...

Now my question is, is he a balanced human being, only because from 
his point of view he is? If all that matters is our own truth 
and "Subjective vs. objective has no meaning here", this would imply 
that yes, because this is exactly what HIS Inner Voice tells him. Or 
am I wrong? 

Also, do you think that I am complicating things too much here? 

Thanks,
David
