Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 Hi!!!!, What exactly is the ego? We have many definitions for them. Some things i have read put the ego as a bad thing. But is it totally bad? Why does your ego need approval of others? Here is a quote from a spirit guide of mine. "The ego is like a child. It has no experiences yet, to compare anything with anything else. It has not been taught love. When it is in an experience you are in, it is a child, therefor, it does not know how to react, so, the scared ego reacts with negativity. This becomes it's experience. So, eventually, it thinks this is good, the negativity is good. It does not know love. Humans let the ego take over their life, and so they think that something is wrong with them, because they don't know it is their ego. The ego is to be the tool of the true self, not the servant. We let the ego be master to us." Thjis is not the exact words of the spirit, but close enough. It is not trying to hurt us. It is to be a tool of ours. Nothing is the ego's fault. Some words from me. Pain if a gift from God. WE are to learn from pain. Our best lessons are coming from our worst experiences. This life is a test from God, ment to help you move forward in your path to enlightenment.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Dear Leaf, You're really on a roll! I also liked what you told me yesterday about the knowledge coming from the real you. And also, you said something about meditation, how seeing isn't enough, there also has to be feeling.
