Arrogance

Arrogance is something that can creep up on us unknowingly. Even the most spiritual persons can be caught up in the web of arrogance. We find this is something also called ego.

Blessings and cursing coming from the same mouth.

When you are under attack by a person with arrogance , don't show hatred. Its something you need to identify quickly. Arrogance often appears by judgement, someone will try to trap you into saying something or twist your words. Often try to make you feel guilt or doubt. They could be a member of a cult or a major religion.

Arrogance will wreck lives , relationships and even cause enough hatred to kill.

It is often disguised under the CLOAK of RELIGION.

Socrates most famous saying was ,  I know , I know nothing.
Here was one of the greatest teachers or all time. He recognized that being bloated with knowledge or
getting a big head could lead to arrogance.

I was with a friend and companion, they were constantly attacking me with questions and challenging my integrity. It seemed after a long session of prayer , this attack came on. It will often happen that those who are nearest to you will be used in arrogance mode.

Arrogance is what causes terrorist to kill, cause relationships to end , families to break up.

Your only defense is humility and truth. Better to avoid a person that is arrogant.
God is only concerned with your happiness and well being , does not tear you down rather lifts you up. So if a person is not contributing to your happiness , they are not of God.

First recognize arrogance from others  and can be found in yourself. The Truth is seven fold described by Isaiah . The Lord , wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, of knowledge and fear - being fear of the Lord. This fear is approaching God with awe and respect. It is also called reverence.

Peace,

Earl
