It is important to note that not all-empowering information is beneficial. Empowering information may help your true self, or it may simply build your ego, which is the product of your false self. For example, I could say to you, “You are smarter and better than everyone else in the world.” That is indeed empowering information. However, you can see how it is not information that will help you grow and improve yourself. You must be wary of the ego as you choose information because it can mislead vou easily, even causing you to be offended by empowering information that will help you achieve your highest self. Disregard information that does not propel you toward your highest self. Learn to differentiate that which contributes to your true self from that which appeals to you only on the egoistic level.

We speak sometimes of being Americans or Koreans or Brazilians or Africans, but in reality, all we really are, are Earth humans. Nationalistic identities and borders are nothing more than illusions of separation. Imagine how this simple shift in consciousness could transform our environmental and political outlook for the better.
