26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26)
Movement
Chair Pose (OOT-kah-TAHS-anna) utkata = powerful, fierce. — is a standing yoga posture that tones the entire body, particularly the thighs! Practicing Utkatasana builds endurance and stamina, while toning the nervous system. Holding this pose for several breaths increases the heart rate, stimulating the circulatory and metabolic systems. It builds a lot of heat in the body, and fast.
Narcissism is of self-interest. Cynicism is of skepticism. Since both narcissism and cynicism appear to be merely complexes outside the control of the individual, they don't spiritually and emotionally connect until the damage is done. Cynicism is so undetectable because it is so justifiable. It wears a mask of insight and godliness, but it conceals festering wounds of harbored bitterness against God and neighbor. We need to understand cynicism, because the masks we wear tell us about the wounds we hide, and point us to the Savior who yearns to mend them."You love yourself, are an egotist, you think you are above and better than everyone else, you put people down for your own gain or because its fun, you have no sympathy for others, and you think WAY to much of yourself, you think your problems are bigger and more important than others, you get mad when people treat you badly, yet you have no regard for other humans."
What are you hiding from your true self?
