is the ego important?

bodiesofexperience said Oct 26, 2006, 4:18 PM:

 

how to make peace with the ego:

sacrafice is obviously the key but when it comes to the greater awareness of the benefits of sacrafice it becomes difficult. the way i see it: nowadays every time i sacrafice an egotistical desire the impending results always supercede the original desire in a way that i wouldnt of even begun to both contemplate and comprehend. each and every time im surprised beyond initial recognition and it confirms and supports my approach to the co-creation of my soul's evolution. it was never always like that, originally being sceptical was the only rationale i could administer but upon further investigation i could no longer deny the synchronistic element that was naturally unfolding before my very only sub-conscious and conscious eyes (you dont need eyes to see, you need vision!!!). beginning with a little faith is always an advantage, yet the further commitment required is definetly freewill based. but transcending the ego is beyond the mechanics of a third dimensional, dualistic subjective experience…love/hate, yin/yang, positive/negative, light/dark!

the point is to learn to spiritually overcome the ego which dominates your consciousness from the very time you are born and subjected to your environmental conditioning and surrounding. thats why death, tragedy and change are inherently required to create and enforce transformation and evolution…

learn to become friends and help progress your egotistical character cos without our ego we would dissolve into the beach of God…I am happy (maybe egotistically) being a conscious (god) grain of sand on the beach of god…

anyone agree or disagree???

Great question,

You wrote:

You got it; I believe that this reality was created for our egos. Our souls or spirits already know how wonderful life and god and this universe is. What the soul cannot do is experience life, only know it. The soul is pure life, love, compassion, whatever you want to call it but in order to experience this it needed to create a reality that included its opposite. For love to exist and to be experienced fear must exist. This can only be done through the ego.

Good stuff,


The Buddhist
