From the perspective of Essence, nobility is to be and act from the truth of Essence, to be a person living in accord with the truth. It is understood that a person of noble character doesn’t let social or political pressures sway him. In that respect, to be noble is to not let your superego (the part of you that’s always judging you critically) or other people’s superegos sway you, but to act according to the real truth. – Diamond Heart Book One: Elements of the Real in Man, ch.5
