The way I see this is to train the ego. Allow it to have its say

within certain educational constructs. Treat it as one would treat a

young child. Love it, help it, teach it, and discipline it. Ego is

part of who we are. Kundalini infuses " all " of who we are; therefore

there are no shortcuts around certain aspects of our selves.

 

Many of the ancient systems do use phrases like " kill the ego " or

other phrases that intimate the destruction of this component of the

human matrix. Some of these interpreted ancient languages such as

Sanskrit and Sumerian have multiple meanings that are not absolute in

their clarity when placed into the English language. So I do feel that

the ancients also recognized the ego for the survival traits it has

and instead of annihilating it would also choose a path of discipline

with regard to it.

 

Nothing is absolute though everyone has there own course and the

teachings involved in that course of choice. - blessings all - chrism

" Who " is it that trains the ego? Since the ego is a combination ofsensory data and the interpretation ofthat data (overly simplified explanation),a basic training in witness consciousness

techniques would be a good start, otherwise,one could end up with deeper levels of ego " training " the ego. Very basic witness consciousness practice:1) the sensory data--- a sound, a smell, etc.

2) the body's perception of the data3) the witness observing the body's perceptionblessings,stag On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 2:28 PM, chrism <> wrote:

Consciousness does not = ego. Ego is " part " of consciousness not

the whole thing. I see it from the standpoint of the ancient Huna

practitioners the Kahunas.

 

There is a:

 

High Self - Aumakua

Middle Self - Uhane

Lower Self - uniheepelee

 

These equal the spiritual aspects of a " Self " . They each have their

own aspect of consciousness though most are shared by the lower and

the middle self.

The lower self wants to evolve into and middle self and the middle

self wants to evolve into a Higher Self.

 

Lower self is equal to the inner child and the ego.

 

Middle self is equal to the mature conscious mind capable of

discernment and discipline.

 

Middle self must help lower self to become a middle self. Higher

Self must help them both. Middle self cannot communicate directly

with Higher Self but must go to the lower self who can. I find it

makes some sense at least for me. Read the works of Max Freedom

Hi all

Just wanted to add a little of my EGO :P

 

I had talks with my guru a few times about ego as thus....

 

The ego is so much connected to the mind. The ego always strives for

its domination and existence. Hence it creates all sorts of illusions

and makes the YOU to believe that you are the ego. Unless you become

present to the ego we cannot find out the real I in us. Siva is the

observer and he is ignorant of any ego. He is the ultimate truth and

pure consciousness. Need to become observer is very important and the

first step to recognize the ego.
