The Will and the Ego

[Guest guest]

The will and the ego are in many ways very difficult to get a

handle on and it isn't a judgment about the person trying to do

this. This is a task that all Kundalini people come into. One of the

recurrent themes of an awakening that I have seen. It isnt typically

an easy task as we are so ego oriented in the western societies.

 

Just as some people lose themselves in the egotistic forms of

personal comparisons to a divine personage or as an authority on a

specific activity, the " ego and will " can take on many different

perspectives in our lives. Many of these areas are expected and

completely supported by our present day civilizations.

 

Doctors and Attorneys and government figures having ascribed

qualities of expression and expectation from the public that is

different than the expectations ascribed to the waitress or grocery

clerk or farmer. Sometimes a more exalted status.

 

So it is no easy task at times and a little here or a little there

as you can begin to actively manifest a surrender of the ego (not

the death) and its importance in our lives will help one to see

through these societal definitions of self worth.

 

These expectations can be addictive. They represent accepted levels

of power and the structures that support that power with in society.

Addiction is a choice. It is a form of willfulness that exchanges

short term gain for long term damage. In many cases. Not speaking in

absolute terms here as other factors can come into expression.

 

Try to see yourself as a singularity of the creative or divine

expression. Not better and not lesser than anyone else. A balanced

personal self worth. This can have the effect of eliminating the

need for competition or dominance or servitude. This perspective can

help you " get out of your own way " with regards to the Kundalini as

it is a balanced form in its expression. From that personal platform

will the flow be able to increase without causing pain inside of

those parameters. -
