Shalom, Lonewolf!
Haven't been able to get by here often enough.
Yes, I have considered the meaning of 'Self-Importance'. This is how I see it: there are many men and women in this world who control great powers; powers political, financial, technical. But, all of them have something in common with the rest of us: few can control their own Minds (and some other areas as well, haha) . That's it, isn't it? Surely there were a few examples of this lack of control in Castaneda.
If one becomes a better person, or if social worlds improve, that would be a side effect of throwing off the FI. And, perhaps, focusing on the FI keeps us focused in the way of the warrior, to not be diverted by details.
