In regards to the ego, some people think so long as they're the ones on top, it's perfectly fine to tell people what to do, to guide as the teacher and to have the right to educate and be 'superior' so long as everyone else stays below them.
This is not my viewpoint and it shouldn't be for anyone who devotes in guiding and helping members. It's inevitable some people have past lives where they were stronger, and upon certain meditations this comes full force to reveal they are more powerful and skilled than the members who taught them how to get there. Some people just plain advance very fast and really devote a lot of effort.
I'm not afraid of the people I inform, educate, or guide becoming more powerful/advanced than me, even if at one point they were less so. I'm not afraid if the information and guidance I give someone allows them to quickly grow well beyond my level. I will not be wounded in ego nor will my dignity be kicked over. I feel great pride when members learn something about themselves, when they learn to perform an ability, when they become able to do things even that I have not yet been able to do or have done yet, perhaps even with that they can teach me.
Everyone learns and advances at their own pace, so I will advance at mine and help others to advance at their own, whether this is slower than mine or faster than mine. It's all the more desired if someone is able to become stronger than me because it's more power to our people and our cause, granted they do not get blinded by their advancements and refuse to provide aid with it and don't become consumed by their ego.
As one of our HPs once said, some people are blinded in their advancements, in that once they start to 'become' something, they see themselves as superior and deem 'lower' individuals unworthy of their attention, help or guidance. This is a toxic mindset and I vastly despise it. Being humble is vital, it is not about who is better, we're supposed to help build each other up.
So if by helping you you eventually become more advanced, spiritually more wise, capable and stronger than me, then by the gods I will help you in every way I can to do so. My only wish is that you do not forget those who assisted in getting you there. A lot of people would like to think they got to their high levels of advancement on their own and that the credit goes entirely to themselves and their efforts - this is major, ungrateful, ignorant and blind bullshit.
I never would've gotten to where I am today at all if it wasn't for Satan, the clergy, the gods, my guardian, everything. I had my hand held a lot and I can't claim that even 50% of my advancement was of my own doing because a MASSIVE majority of it, almost the entirety, was because of Satan and everyone else. The only thing I can take credit for is the willpower and deliberate effort to actually consciously work towards advancement with everything they gave me and taught me, to actually use it and put it forth.
I did not do this on my own at all.
And as a community working to build one another up, we're not supposed to anyways.
