Psyche,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Leap frogging over your conscious awareness.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>They&#8217;re always present below the surface,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>And they are shape-shifters.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>As transparent as you think you are, you are not.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Honesty, forthrightness, trust, and loyalty flap on the hinge<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Of ulterior motive, which is securely fastened to self-interest.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Funny thing about ulterior motives is that they<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sneak into action before you know it.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Then, when you become aware of an ulterior motive in your words or actions,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>You are either surprised and embarrassed, or you think it&#8217;s normal.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>The best way to cure a case of latent ulterior motive is<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>To cut it off at the pass, intercept it, and expose yourself to yourself.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Here\u2019s how:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Before you speak or act, ask yourself<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0 \u00a0

life.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Before you can even become aware of paths<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>To higher consciousness, let alone find one and follow it,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>You must have some clarity about <em>you<\/em>,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Focused attention on a goal, and purity of intention.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Far better, it is, to catch the knife before you
