EXPERIENCE has taught us that the process of being out of touch with our true
feelings induces grandiosity and compulsivity.
Grandiosity
and compulsivity are clear symptoms that the demon is quietly waiting, and that
the core problems have yet to be addressed. This insight often comes forward
during some form of counseling or intimate sharing; it is generally when we get
the first indicator that something is hiding in our blind spots and is having a
profound effect on our lives.
Often
it gets pointed out to us that we really don’t have friends or that our primary
relationships are becoming progressively more non-intimate or . . . and there
are hundreds of “or’s,” and our journey does not truly begin until we begin to
notice.
