सेल्फ ओब्सेर्वतिओन self observation

as i go deeper into self (if there is such a thing) i notice my interpretation of others words and my words has changed greatly.  as i truly  sacredly listen to others (still work in progress, this old habit of mine is like Bruce Willis, it DIES HARD!), rather than waiting for my moment to put my two cents in, or being triggered by what someone else says and then not hearing the rest of what they are saying because i am so busy trying to hold the thought of what triggered me and how i cant wait to "tear them a new one".  The change in what I "hear" is that we each are actually talking about what is going on within us, when we say others are needy, hmmmmm does it mean we are needy?  when we say others are lazy, does it mean we are lazy?  when we give others coaching or advice are we listening to our words and hearing the lessons that we need for ourselves not just for the other?  as we step down this path, it can become very easy for the ego to fool you into thinking your something that you are not.  it can trick you into thinking the advice/coaching you give is for other and there are no platinum nuggets there for your ears to hear.  it is so easy to think, well i am the coach, healer, evolved one, conscious one, higher one etc... and start thinking the words you share are for others not for you as well.  so fascinating, isn't it?  i am so thankful to be a spirit learning how to be a human being, so freaking cool!  Our egos are very good at "working" us, they are the best sells people you have ever met, and they will sell you anything as long as it can stay in control of your mind...  be careful of becoming the spiritual warrior that is being run by the ego and thinks he/she is becoming conscious.  and yes...  i am listening to my own words..  i continue the journey..................
