The guru squirrel and the ego.

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

I was going out to put my usual food out to feed the squirrels, and my

wife said they won't come out because of the snow. She said they lose

their camouflage of the trees.

 

There it was again the fear protection reaction, which is normal to

animals and is instintive to all animals and beings. However with

humans who have a vijnanamayako another awareness causes another

thought. " Who or what is being protected? " ..the answer is me or the

small 'I'. Now we have the reaction manifested and enhanced into an ego

or personal observation, becoming a condition.

 

In other word we personalise a common animal reaction to ourselves and

identify with it---hence the ego. However it is the first step in

awareness for now we must go in and find the big 'I', this annhilates

the observation or small ego........Cheers Tony.
