The thing about ego and self…
Ego is in everyone and to rid of it, well then believe in yourself. ‘Beyond the Himalayas’ which is one of the toughest book I have ever read which took me about 2 – 3 weeks to finish as the content were beyond mind-boggling, did help me through a lot of what I have always seek in life. ‘A New Earth’, the current book I’m reading is a modern version of spiritual teaching kinda book brought an interesting twist to one owns reactions to everyday life. Without a doubt both books nurture the same thought, which is truth and true self-identity/being.
Ego is the very thing that manifests in all of us while growing up. Those who are not even aware of it, man oh man, is a bitch-slap. If carry on for too long, it will ultimately destroy a person. To know ego is to know the very reaction you make and the words you use. Which is to say the everyday communication you have with the people around you. Yes social and personal communication. To dwell in deeper one must understand the state of your being which is why I mentioned the first book. Aha!
Being-ness and unconditional love is provided only if you can get past the social conditioning’s and falsehoods. But once your here and you know when your there, there is no second guessing, doubt, fear and illusion thoughts. Illusion thoughts? The one that tells you what you like and don’t like. The one that has you in check that when someone is doing better than you, beware! The one that tells you beggars can’t be choosers and also the one that tells you to be superior. It comes in all forms… and it may be seen as ego or social conditioning’s.
To know the self and being is when one becomes aware. Aware of the rising insanity ego, aware of the emotions fueling reactions, aware of the body reacting, aware of everything around you. That is the beginning of the discovery of true sense of self. Which in turns of course not only make you feel better, work, stand and live life the best as it can get. Spiritual journey is not just about self-discovery and dreaming, its realizing your own potential and living life filled with more than you can ever dream of, it is life success.
Ever wonder why we hear about people’s wealth? It takes a whole lotta steps to get there and it is with Divine faith, Divine Intelligence and Creativeness. It’s not just wisdom but the understanding of self, its not just about limitations anymore, its achieving.
Now when this comes into play, may hap comes the ego which creeps its way because well nearly every man has an enemy. When this happens, the ego will manifests into thinking that its doing so much better than the rest, the sense of ‘i’ and ‘myself’ deserve this right, this is ‘mine’ and that is ‘yours’, ‘i’ don’t need you (sounds familiar?) and other egoic behaviors. Yeah and then when all seems so well, an explosive downfall. Now this has happened to some families and friends I know, you heard it before. It becomes hell on earth! Getting so caught up in it but not realizing what happened, ya, that’s what happened. It can be any situation, not only wealth.
But those who knows and understand their sense of self and inner within, will there be truly success for they are blessed with understanding of love, compassion and inner peace.
Perhaps the experiences I’ve experienced as of so far is to bring me to here… this moment. Who knows? But the lessons that I’ve experienced, I am thankful – for if I never knew, I will never truly understand what I have seek.
