Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Much of human life is about playing `roles' ....role of a `person', role of a `social' animal, role of a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, ...a friend ... Role of an employee, a CEO, a party worker, a president ... a soldier, a general ... Every role is external, Every role is made-up, a role requires learning, a role requires ...'memory'. a role might require ...IDENTIFICATION. Identification ...with the role. .. .... ...... Even the actors in a drama need to IDENTIFY with the `role' to play it really well ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Ego is a thought ... the thought of me ... thought of self, and is itself made-up of many sub-thoughts. Like me, this person, this man, this height, this color, this wife, this child, this job, this money, this woman, this group, ...this id ... The ego arises and falls like all other thoughts do ... it ALWAYS rises in a relation, ....It is an ID, a label, a segment of thought, memories, that rises when there is a perceived Need. When faced with a `project', a Tech Lead rises, When faced with a teacher, ...a `parent' rises, When a child asks for more candies, ice-cream and chips a `responsible dad' rises ... .. .... ...... When the need for a `role' is NOT there, ...that Role, that ID, that `filter' is ...NOT there. In a normal healthy person, the thought, the perception, memory, role, `functioning' of a doctor, engineer is Absent.... when making love .... ....playing with kids, watching the fully blossomed Cherry Tree, watering a plant, eating a mango, watching the raindrops, ....gray clouds, shinning palm trees, dancing leaves, ... Music, ....listening to child, playing with child ... .. .... ...... watching an engaging movie, reading a novel, playing a game, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 No thought persists all the time ... What is called as egoic self Only rises when a need for it is perceived. It rises in relation to Fear ... When Fear is Not there, ...it is Not there. The folly rises in perceiving that fear much of the time. the Society Surely gives many opportunities for that and then it gets further amplified and strengthened by repletion, imagination and Mostly by PREPARATION of that fear. ...... .... .. When the `perceived' Need for it disappears, ...it disappears too. That I the reason, it disappears in Surrender, ...and Full-Acceptance. In one because, ...the need to protect is let go ... In another, ...because, there is Simply No Need to begin with. The reason, it is Not there in ...Full Perception, Full Listening, Full Seeing, Complete Attention, Full Presence, Alertness, ....because, there is simply NO room left for it.
