The feeling of importance, which is the principle which undergirds our ability to focus our moment-to-moment attention and thus is the basic building block of adult (waking) consciousness, has two manifestations: shame and glory. These chase each other around in an endless circle, and generate the energy necessary to drive importance. That is, they keep our attention occupied in an endless loop. When our attention is caught in an endless feedback loop – a self-reflection in an endless hall of mirrors – it takes on a frantic urgency which we feel as importance. We feel it is important to seek glory and to hide shame.
