Ego discussion - Brian

[Guest guest]

Yes Brian I appreciate entirely with where you see your spiritual path

in relation to its ego generated interactivity with the external

environment. I hope that makes sense to you? Currently I am

experiencing some profound lessons which extend beyond the written

expression. Lessons with their grounding in dualistic synchronicities.

I believe breakthroughs within my gross/primal/basic/raw aspects of

what we imagine the ego to be, have provided the opportunity to

experience these states.

It really is as chrism has stated on more than one occasion 'an

evolution of the ego'.

The Buddhists (and many others) believe we must work towards a

dissolution of ego. I used to wonder how this could be so, when (to my

perceptions) our ego was (for better or worse) a necessary aspect of

our selves. Of course it was my ego's defensiveness that stopped me

from seeing the whole picture- that dissolution is also the nirvana

they ultimately seek and in the inter em are many levels of

conditioning and evolution of this perceived separateness which in

actuality doesn't exist.
