You are now in control of your life.

[Guest guest]

This was interesting. When i first read this i had to immediately

reread as my view was the ego " creates " not " is controlled by " these

desires. But after reading this a couple of times i discovered it

really resonates nonetheless.

 

So it becomes obvious that the conditioning process for the ego is

determined by what you feed the ego. If shown a more productive

spiritually fruitful path this conditioning will occur by way of " like

attracts like " or a feng shui'ish type harmonious balance of intentions.

 

Everyone loves to have an opinion on the ego so i invite opinions please.

 

There are other interesting messages included in the following also...

 

love to you all, glen o.

You are now in control of your life. You see, the ego is never in

control. The ego is controlled by wishes for comfort and convenience

on the part of the body, by demands of the mind, and by outbursts of

the emotions. But the higher nature controls the body and the mind and

the emotions. I can say to my body, " Lie down there on that cement

floor and go to sleep, " and it obeys. I can say to my mind, " Shut out

everything else and concentrate on this job before you, " and it's

obedient. I can say to my emotions, " Be still, even in the face of

this terrible situation, " and they are still. It's a different way of

living. The philosopher Thoreau wrote: If a man does not keep pace

with his companions, perhaps he hears a different drummer. And now you

are following a different drummer--the higher nature instead of the lower.

dear glen.. wrong imho. the ego IS the desire for comfort, security,

or anything else. i get this by studying tolle's writings. why and

how can you desire something you already have? answer: the ego is

based in fear and fear is a projection into the future.

peace,
