Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The ego is an umbrella word. Under its shelter there exist the following synonyms and adjuncts. I Thought I am the Body Idea I conceit False sense of me and mine Inherited and aquired vasanas or tendencies from this and previous lives Mind Sense of Individuality Cause of split mindedness between subject and object Cause of Reflected Consciousness petty selfcenteredness pride arrogance pomposity selfishness acquisitiveness Incessant desire for pleasure ignorance nescience the cardinal sin the cause of suffering, fear and anxiety etc. etc. please add more if you are so inclined. Now we know its nature we see how very necessary it is to remove this demonic, diabolic, devilry, in one fell swoop, by the only infallible means of Self Enquiry, and Surrender of this 'Egotism' to the Immortal Self of Sat Chit Ananda.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Namaste Alan and friends, From here, 'ego' is just a word that i've been told means something.. Here, there are thoughts that arise and pass, emotions, sensations, that arise and pass, there is a body,.... when someone calls 'Soul' the head turns to look... But it is all seen to be not who I am... So, honestly,here there's no need to use the word " ego " , it doesn't really exist, or it seems to complicate things. It's all simple really... Thoughts, sensations, emotions, body, appear and disappear, in This which I am, which is always here.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hello There is a small booklet with the title "Atma Nirvrit" by tha late Sage Krishna Menon (Atmananda) -a contemporary to Sri Ramana Maharshi. It is the mind that has thoughts and feelings, not I. Birth, growth, decay and death pertain to the body and not to Me. I am no body -I have no body. I am no mind -I have no mind. I am no doer, I am no enjoyer, I am pure consc iousness which knows no dissolution. That which shines just before and just after every thought and feeling is the "I". That is objectless consciousness that is Atma. It is that Atma again that shines as bliss in deep sleep and when a desired object is attained. The world shines because of My light: without Me nothing is. I am the light in the perception of the world. Atma: Means the Real Self. , "Soul" <soulyoginima wrote:>> Namaste Alan and friends,> > > From here, 'ego' is just a word> that i've been told means something..> Here,> there are thoughts that arise and pass,> emotions, sensations, that arise and pass,> there is a body,....> when someone calls 'Soul'> the head turns to look...> But it is all seen> to be not who I am...> > So, honestly,here> there's no need to use the word "ego",> it doesn't really exist, > or it seems to complicate things.> > It's all simple really...> Thoughts, sensations, emotions, body,> appear and disappear,> in This which I am,> which is always here.> > Blessings and love to all,> > Soul> > > > > > > > , Alan Jacobs > alanadamsjacobs@ wrote:> >> > The ego is an umbrella word.
