The moment you behave well just because you know you have to be aligned with truth, not because of avoiding negative survival consequences. 

Sounds like an identity rule to me. "I'm the type of person who is well-behaved because that's what being aligned with truth entails".

Is that what you tell yourself when you're fighting back those urges? 😂 Whatever works I suppose.

Just fuckin' widya.

There is no such thing as "behaving well" outside of consequences.

You can't separate the two.

Maybe for you.

Of course that can be a trap. The ego is sneaky AF. 😛 What you are presenting is Stage Blue in a nutshell.

Nice disclaimer. Maybe make a disclaimer for the disclaimer, that the disclaimer will be long but is important.

Rule of thumb is: reader's consciousness will be impacted by what you write. So if you know that then you make use of that.

It’s very common to crown your ego with a halo when moral development emerges from inner work. There’s a fine line between recognition of it and ego/identity inflation. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, as it’s only natural. But some readers might be ready to see it, which was the impact I was aiming for.
