' self-esteem '...

High self-esteem and low self-esteem are just
different sides of the same coin.

They each assume that there's a separate and
independent self that's feeling...or that's not
feeling...a certain level of esteem about itself.

Both positions equally support the illusion of the
actual existence of a real coin...a real historical
self.

In true awakening, though, there can be no
coinage.
