vision + discipline = sucess

i believe that ones potential Highest Purpose in Life is clarified by overcoming the obstacles that obscure our pastpresentfuture….
 
Everyones Greatest Obstacle is our E.G.O.
or
Ego, GOoD’s Opposer
 
we’re not individuals, we are more like a train station than a conductor
 
different trains of thought intersect at all times, we focus on one for a while, usually without seeing where it came from clearly or where its going, and then our attention shifts………
 
……we’re like a security camera stuck on watching one person in the terminal, thinkin it is the person viewed…….
 
 
thru mindfulness and meditation we are able to discover that these trains of thought are products of our social/economic/ideological/historical environment, and our ego incorrectly identifies with them rather than studying them objectively
 
the Ego is transcended by identifying not with the pastpresentfuture experiences of the flesh our Spirit inhabits
rather by identifying with The One, gradually expanding ones identity transcending yet including Family, Friends, Community, Humanity, and eventually yoUniversalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllLifenergyoUniversaLifenergy
 
i believe the meaning of L.I.F.E. is
Life Is For Expanding Empathys Energy Everywhere Enveloping Everything Eternally
 
when the Ego is transcended (temporarily or permenantly)
thru a 24 7 practice of Mindfulness, Meditation, Prayer, Fasting, and UnconditionaLovenergy……………appreciating and praising The Source of all Life, Love, Truth, and Co-Creativity……The Almighty Creator
 
=which all require Discipline=
 
ones True Vision is clarified (temorarily or permenantly)
 
 
REPENTANCE = ALTRUISM = PERFECTION

Exactly!

Re: vision + discipline = sucess

The Ego = a necessary part of life.

I have learned that the ego isn't such a bad thing after all. That we wouldn't be able to help others if we totally abandoned the Ego.

E (Endless) G (Guide) for helping O (Others)
Sometimes we develop an ego part of our personality that is needed to connect with those who really have one! If they can just see a glimpse of who they are in you, they will eventually simmer down and uh….shut up when they figure it out….

This is just a thought to a Great post.

I'll just add some Grant Wallace art. =)

Ryon,

so, like connecting with our inner-god, or goddess? That feels very much like ego, but in a pure form, and yes, it is to help others.

Gracious One,

It's good to be friends by the way!

In the drawing, Grant Wallace has ego as the very outside source of our being next to divine man….which is one who's totally transcended his or her ego… and become this totally divine human being doing exactly what they came here for, needing no ego I guess.

It's just interesting that beyond soul, spirit and intellect is this energy we call the ego. the layer that we must utilize to expand our being like a stepping stone into outer space to say…

If you look in the very center of the drawing it says “Black Light”
I think that this is what some people think ego is, and that's what it feels like it should be, but according to this drawing, it is not. It must be different.

…and become this totally divine human being doing exactly what they came here for…

regardless of how the ego works- if it can be utilized for this, than, praise GOD, whatever! Yes!!!!

I can't get the picture very clearly here, but I'll be at the University later and check it out there.
