Being right as a personality watchdog

Together with introducing personal standards, values etc., your personality also introduced the idea of 'being right'. Since by being right, you would be confirmed in the idea that what you made, or came up with, or how things should be according to your ideas, were indeed true. In the eyes of your personality, this is a good job, since this will protect and strengthen his creations. Whereas not being right instantly weakens your creations and you have to experience this as 'wrong'. So it is no surprise to find your personalities' heavy investment in claiming his righteousness, for him being right equals making it true.

The whole concept of being right and being acknowledged in that, purely aims at upholding the worldview of your personality, make it true for yourself and thus uphold the idea that he made something good 'because' he is right, that it is somehow 'right' what he made and through this, gives your personality a basis for existence. So for your personality, it is somewhat a 'need' to be right.

The opposite of being right is not being wrong, it is letting go of your investment in the worldviews of your personality. What is true, seen from the perspective of your personality, is not 'true' at all seen through your inner Self, it is neutral there.
Imagine what it would be like when you would not have to be right over anything anymore. What an amount of energy would you have left, what a lot of attention to spend on other things. And all kinds of defense- and reaction mechanisms would become unnecessary that instant.

Each time when you find yourself attempting to be right once more, you can use that situation to realize the above once again. And it does not matter whether the way you attempt to convince others through lively discussion or withdrawal or whatever other defence mechanism you can come up with, each and every one of these are an attempt of your personality to preserve his idea of being right. Take yourself less and less serious in this, one step at a time, and see it for what it really is. Realize that a thought which needs defense, can never be a truth in itself. Then also ask your inner Self to have you experience this situation differently, through his way of looking at it. And you will no doubt notice that the inner Peace and sure Knowing of your inner Self with regard to situations can in no way compare to the meager and vulnerable idea of being right your personality offers you, and this will make you more and more willing to make the choice in favour of your inner Self.
