Category:Egoism

Egoism, self-interest, the mere concern for one's own benefit, combined with selfishness and self-love, is a consequence of the Luciferic temptation. At the same time, however, it is also a necessary and fundamental characteristic of the astral body, through which it can detach itself as an independent entity from the general soul world in order to incarnate on earth. Personal egoism is often also supported by an overriding group egoism that encompasses entire groups of people and expresses itself in phenomena such as racism and nationalism, among others.
