FALSE ... And easy to proof. Narcissism is a psychological disorder that is developed usually at an early ageThe path to enlightenment is an ego trip: Meditation and mindfulness lead to narcissism and feelings of 'spiritual superiority'
Are Narcissists born or made?
Narcissistic personality disorder is an inheritable psychological condition; research evidence indicates that a person is more likely to develop NPD if said personality disorder occurs in the medical history of his or her family.
At what age does narcissistic personality disorder develop?
For the study, the researchers conducted interviews with 565 children ages 7-12 and their parents every six months over an 18-month period. Bushman said they chose that age range because the first signs of narcissistic tendencies begin to emerge around age 8. “Before that every kid is a narcissist,” he said
There are so called "spiritual narcissists"The path to enlightenment is an ego trip: Meditation and mindfulness lead to narcissism and feelings of 'spiritual superiority', study finds
Meditation and spiritual enlightenment can 'boost feelings of superiority' by stoking the ego, a new study has found.
- Study finds a link between those engaged in spiritual practices and superiority
- People engaged in 'energetic' therapies like aura reading were the most smug
- Spiritual training 'has the paradoxical effect of boosting superiority feelings'
What is spiritual narcissism?
Spiritual narcissism is the very culmination of spiritual egotism: it is the ego that has become so solid, so fixed, so unyielding in the idea of its own spiritual greatness that it is pathological. It is narcissistic.

Don't blame me.FALSE ... And easy to proof. Narcissism is a psychological disorder that is developed usually at an early age
Didn't see it there.
I prefer unlightenment.I think it's most important to be aware of the pitfall of "spiritual ego"
Hindu Scriptures warn us that "Ego is difficult to cure", but "Spiritual Ego" is impossible to cure". Even God can not cure this. Hence the Hindu Scriptures advice to stay away from psychic abilities. But if you have a good Master, He kick your butt and take care of you; and show you when you fall into that hole. Being aware of this pitfall is important.
Knowing this, it's best to have a good Master (of course He should not have Spiritual Ego). Because it is very easy to fall in the trap of spiritual ego, especially when you develop your sixth sense with psychic abilities as clairvoyance, clairaudience, Clairempathy, Clairsentience, Clairalience, Clairgustance, Clairtangency)
No, I don't blame you. And you should know. I gave your OP a "useful", didn't I?Don't blame me.

To make a proper choice and being able to say "I prefer", one should have experienced bothI prefer unlightenment.
We can have all the ego we want.
And no annoying masters.
I was josh'n ya.No, I don't blame you. And you should no. I gave your OP a "useful", didn't I?
I think that this is a very good OP, as it is one of the biggest pitfalls on the Spiritual Path
Well that was clear as mud.Its there after all the fluff
It's not spelt "Monica", as in the girl's name: it's "moniker" or "monicker". It's generally thought to come from Shelta, the cant language of Irish travellers, and to have derived from the Irish word "ainm", which became "munik" in Shelta.
