recognizing that you are not your ego/personality/conditioning and actually getting significantly free of it are two different stages. You hit the first one, and you think it included the second. But it didn't. (There are reputedly cases where both happen at once.)
Yeah, it's easy to turn it into some kind of superiority complex, but it's not about being better than anyone -- it's about suffering less than most people, and seeing just how terrible people are at addressing their suffering but not being able to do anything about it.

hmmm, wasn't thinking superiority complex though I guess you're right, spiritual pride is a problem for some people. was thinking more that you need to wake down and reintegrate because you still have your mundane life to deal with (unless you retreat to a monastery forever).

In a way it's like reprogramming yourself after you de-program yourself. Designing new coats for yourself to wear that fit into society for your intended purposes.

Tantrism defined. (Or at least part of it.)
