I would highly recommend a book by Tibetan teacher Chogyam Trungpa entitled “Cutting through spiritual materialism.” From the evidence of this essay, you need it, for you have fallen quite deeply into the trap he speaks of—our egos hijacking our insights in order to worship ourselves. I can relate; I have been there, many times. But it is a trap. You are no more nor less important than everyone else!
