THE EGO AND THE NEED TO BE SPECIAL

The ego has a desire for you to be special and it believes that being “special” is what will
make you happy.

As we explained earlier, the ego understands the world in terms of comparison. The ego can
never feel contentment in the long run. Whatever you get, however the circumstances
change, it’s never enough. It keeps making you strive for things in the external world, things
you need to achieve, become or acquire. This is in part because in a dual model of the world
(the way the ego sees the world), there is always something which you are not, (to which
you are an opposite) therefore you can never feel complete.

The ego wants you to be better than everybody else and ultimately, it leaves you with the
desire to feel not only that you are enough, but that you excel.

The good news is that in a way you already are just that, but your ego cannot recognize it.
What it is looking for cannot be found on the surface level.

This desire to be “special” is a misinterpretation of the mind and ego of a natural impulse that
exists in all of us. That impulse or desire is to give expression to what makes you unique.
You are a unique expression of the DIVINE LIGHT. You are a manifestation of DIVINE
ENERGY, in a way that is unique and can never be competed with. You ARE special. But
not necessarily in comparison to someone else, as a rare and unique expression of the
DIVINE that is within you.
That’s what makes you unique, that’s what makes you excel in your own playing field. There
is no one in the whole of CREATION that is the way you are. You are beyond comparison.

1 Peter, 4: 10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same
one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.


Everyone receives certain talents, gifts and interests from the DIVINE WORLD that suit
him/her, but which also allows us to make a contribution to the world around us.
Instead of being in competition with each other, everyone could just do whatever they are
good at and in doing so, be a gift to others in this world. (In doing so you would behave like a
“good steward of the manifold grace of GOD.”)
