I simply want to feel confident, but I just realized.. how vain I have been this whole time! And as I grow in my faith, my vanity grows on the same level. Lust is becoming weak, but this mystic vanity of mine is starting up. I keep meditating in order to comprehend these thoughts as they manifest throughout the day, and pray to Mother to eliminate this vain ego of mine. Any suggestions on dealing with vanity, while remaining confident?

Let your internal powers be developed. Do not covet powers. Do not wish for powers. Cultivate your lotus flowers with disinterested love. Cultivate your precious and delicate internal garden just as the poor gardener cultivates his garden.
When your lotus flowers begin to shine, remember that all of your powers are nothing but miserable candlelights that shine like glow worms before the resplendent Sun who is your immolated Lamb.
You are not the Master; you are only the sinning shadow of He who has never sinned. Remember that only your internal Lamb is the Master.
Remember that even though your internal God is a Hierarch of Fire, you, poor slug, are only a human being, and as a human being you will always be judged.
Your internal Lamb could be a planetary God, but you, poor slug of the mud, do not forget, always remember, that you are only the shadow of your God. Poor sinning shadow..!
Do not say “I am this God” or “I am that Master,” because you are only a shadow that must resolve to die and be slaughtered in order not to serve as an obstacle for your internal God.
It is necessary for you to reach supreme humbleness.
-Samael Aun Weor, The Aquarian Message: The Jinn States
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
-Isaiah 40:3-4
You must become like the valley: low and humble. If you are a mountain, you shall be leveled and disgraced. You must work to make the crooked straight, and the rough places plain. Therefore, meditate and die in your pride!
Joyful in hope, suffering in tribulation, be thou constant in thy prayer.
Benedictis, qui venit in nomine Domini. Osanna in excelsis.
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!"
