Smart Question 00246:

TAP Response 00246:

TAP believes the ego is perhaps the greatest negative attribute the typical human possesses in today’s world. Today’s world actually encourages the ego to grow within the mind of the human. Simply consider many of the things that today’s model encourages: 1) Be the winner; 2) Be the best; 3) Be the celebrity; 4) Be the influencer; 5) Be the best entrepreneur; 6) Make the most money; 7) Be the powerful leader of the group; 8) etc. All these types of pursuits and objectives are very selfish and very egotistical.

Smart Question 00247:

So what are some of the pursuits, objectives and practices of the TAP ego-less mind?

TAP Response 00247:

At or near the top of the list is think and do what’s best for THEM. Sacrifice more. Leave more for others, especially THEM. Be less selfish. Be more loving of others. Be more helpful to others in the present. Seek better understanding of what might be universal truth. Better understanding ALWAYS helps the mind. Forgive others and be a little harder on forgiving ‘yourself.’ Focus on liking ‘yourself’ vs. loving ‘yourself.’

Smart Question 00248:

TAP Response 00248:

Yes. Partly. TAP is not interested in creating another leader. The TAP leadership is ALWAYS the voice of the group. It’s the possibility of the positive agreement of the list. The lone voice, its understanding, belief, values, priorities and opinions - is never the best and right balance of thought. Only the group can establish the balance.
