The greatest thing of all

Don't get puffed up; the crystal clear, thirst quenching dream interpretation isn't from you, it's from the Self.

The art or music or poetry you produce; the brilliant ideas, the perfectly written paragraph isn't from you, it's from the Self.

Your beauty, or your intelligence, your charisma or competence, or any of your abilities don't come from you, they all comes from the Self.

For your small, limited, human all too human ego to identify with any of these is to take the abilities of the Gods as your own, and that is dangerous and wrong. The only thing that is of the ego is MORALITY; it is to make the hard, difficult, and painful choice to do the work that needs to be done, even if it's boring, even if it's burdensome, even if it's humiliating. That... and to keep reminding oneself that none of the great things that we accomplish come from us, but from that mysterious larger power that works through us; we float on it, rest on it, are held and carried by it. And when we act in harmony with it, it creates things which are great and beautiful, impactful and true. But this can only happen if ego does the one thing it can do; have the discipline to do the things necessary to allow the Self to speak and act through us. And that is the greatest thing of all.
