Soul Work Doubt

["JLA" <superjoel11@...>]

Dear Rawn and other members,

I am doing my soul work at step 1, and I didn't understood two 
negative characteristics of the air element that Bardon mentions.
I searched the dictionary, but I didn't find a good explanation for 
those two.
Can someone explain to me what's valorization of the ego is, and what 
is "fanfarronice"?
"Fanfarronice" is the word in portuguese wrote in the book, but I 
don't know how to translate it to english, I don't know if it is 
pretension, or other thing.
I found a word that describes the person that possess that 
characteristic(fanfarronice): swagger.
Could someone explain to me better those two characteristics?

Thank you,
Joel
ps: I read that this group is going to close because Rawn is 
retiring, can I continue to enter in contact with you Rawn(in the 
email: rawnclark@...) and ask doubts if I have them? And 
Rawn..don't you think that is a good ideia for someone of your trust 
to administrate the group for you? This way you don't need to close 
it.
