What lies latent within you? What hidden powers do you have, that you haven't discovered yet, or let out yet?
When reading AKIRA, or thinking about X-MEN, the thought is this:
The problem -- entertainment is being used as a sedative, rather than something to AUGMENT your powers and uncover your hidden powers.
Perhaps if we are constantly being distracted or entertained to death, we lose our inner-signal (our hidden powers), because we are being drowned in noise.
Thus the first Zen-Taoist notion is this:
A hidden power is this:
For example, what seems easy to you which seems difficult for others?
If you know you're good at something, no need to fake humble. Humility is a vice. Humility denigrates us, humility lowers us.
Don't "humble brag". Better to "vain-brag". If you think you're great; don't censor yourself.
The reason we must become vain is this:
We must not be ashamed of our gift. Instead, it is perhaps a good thing to boast about what we are good at-- in order to augment our self-confidence, in order to maximize our gift!
