It's possible to be enlightened and be a horrible narcissist

[Heart of Space]

For example, you can be a belligerent narcissist in your work place and be enlightened.  Lately I've taken that form.  One specific example is that I stabbed my coworker in the back and got her fired.  

My ruthless narcissism is not from a place of ego, it is a state of being.  It's currently how I'm loving the people around me unconditionally.  I have no identity.  I take any form God needs at a given time to love others.

I know what you mean and do whatever feels right, but you will still have to face consequences of being narcissist later in your life, karma is a real thing.

what an asshole

Narcissism sounds a lot like solipsism 

[The0Self]

You sound like someone who just awakened yesterday.

 

 

If your chest tightened when you read that, you still have a position to defend. If absolutely nothing happened, you may have the abiding enlightenment goods. If you felt both of the following: completely inwardly unbothered by it, while at the same time having outward anger towards me, that's narcissism.

Is this narcissism? Or is this true devotion? 

God is not the relative human good incarnate, so why would you look like relative good if you were truly holding hands with the Absolute in every step? 
 

People still fail to realize that a true expression of the Absolute is always right in front of you, and for essentially everyone, this includes many things you don’t like or see as bad in some way. Act as your nature and environment compels you. You are not here to be some inauthentic expression of the relative human good. Christ already has that base covered. Be original. It’s all God wants.

@Heart of Space You can NOT be a horrible narcissist and enlightened at the same time. In fact this claim is a sign of narcissism.

There's no such thing as narcissism that's not from a place of ego. Narcissism IS ego.

You're nowhere near as enlightened as you think you are.

[The Lucid Dreamer]

Then you are not enlightened.  You’re merely trying to justify your devilry.  

[SolarWarden]

No.

Do you know the definition of narcissism? 

A narcissist is overly focused on his attributes and appearances. He cannot love himself as no parent loved him. He reacts to circumstances from a place of pain.

Either choose a better description for your situation or just accept that you are not enlightened.

No.  It's about selflessness not selfishness.  The other responses were all on par.  Take a look in the mirror.

This does not sound like the good shade of crazy my man. There’s not knowing what you’re talking about, and there’s also not knowing what you’re talking about. 

[Heart of Space]

There's the difference between being a narcissist and taking the appearance of a narcissist.  One comes from ego, the other is simply form taking the appearance of something.  

A shark kills smaller weaker fish, but we do not project an egoic intention of malevolence onto the shark.

I am simply a shark amongst smaller weaker fish.  I think a lot of you are having bias as to what you would prefer to be the representation of enlightened consciousness.

Before you take the appearance of something be sure it is not your ego in disguise.  Yes ultimately this all You Imagining whatever the fuck you want.  But ultimately for you to realize your true nature you will need to shed yourself and your own selfishness.

It depends on how you define "egoic intention".

In one context, there is no free will and humans are simply acting - like a dog barks, a shark eats prey and an apple falls from a tree.

Yet in another context, humans have higher cognitive development. A shark cannot recognize itself in a mirror. A shark cannot introspect and consider it's impact on community. Yet the vast majority of humans can. 

Conflation between the two contexts causes distortion and allows for rationalization of harmful behavior within a relative human context. 

Consider the below statement:

"Humans are simply animals like another other animal. Therefore, it is ok if I poop in public and throw my shit at people like a gorilla does". 

Does that sound like a high conscious human mindset to you?

If you were awake, you would see that you are both the shark and the weaker fish. There is no representation of enlightened consciousness. Consciousness is everything, and every nothing. It is entirely nondual.

Maybe there aren’t smaller and bigger people, in that sharky sense. Might be a bubble in the lens so to speak.

Thats not even close to enlightenment. Self is rough, hard. And what “you” experincing is hard core spiritual ego. Enlightenment is realization of there is no you nor world around you. Therefore flowing, being empty is inevitable.

I do see that I am the shark and the smaller fish.  

You're correct, there is no representation of enlightened consciousness.  Consciousness is everything, including the shark that eats smaller fish and one who takes the form of someone who is conniving and self serving but has no ego while doing it.

There is no Heart of Space either, but yet you formulate a response to it.
