"The results of some of our negative programming is often pointed out to us by friends or relatives. But most people ignore such criticism from others. And unfortunately, sometimes criticism is given during the heat of an argument, which makes it even more difficult to accept. So even though someone may give you truthful and valid criticism, because the separate self goes into a stronger ādefense modeāin such situations, its basic ego defense mechanisms usually defeat your even becoming aware of your problems. For instance, Iām sure that during an argument youāve had someone say to you something like, āYouāre always so āsuch and suchā!!ā(Or youāve said it to someone else during arguments). It doesnāt usually get anywhere because the selfish separate selfās defenses go up, right? Regardless of whether what is being said is valid or not. And sometimes it is valid, and sometimes itās not. When someone criticizes you, sometimes thatās just them projecting their own problem, and trying to transfer it to you, or itās partly true, but mixed with their own viewpoint, or tainted and distorted by anger, envy, or whatever. But many times it may really be revealing an actual problem you have - something you may want to change if you thought about it and gave it a chance. But the problem is, even when they are mirroring your own problems to you, if the criticism is contaminated, because they have their own problems mixed in - they are not a clear mirror of your problem. And that makes it much more difficult for your selfish separate self, and your true inner self, to accept the truth in it, or even see what part is true and what isnāt. So straightening yourself out with the help of such unclear mirror criticisms and opinions, is like trying to shave or ādo your hairā, using a very dirty, extremely warped āfun houseāmirror that is distorting your true reflection. It can still be done of course. But to even see your self clearly at all, through such unclear, distorted, contaminated criticism, you must first have transcended your āselfādefense mechanisms. And if you arenāt at a level of consciousness in which you are free from your separate selfās defense mechanisms and ego .." https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ge6wnBIPA/?igshid=1fsyh2633amwl
