Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ever since the Shaktipat I have really been " arguing " with my ego. I never thought that I would have these types of problems. I considered myself to be a person that didnt have these issues. Not saying its a problem but how should I go about this? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Devore, If I as you I would listen to it, It mightbe trying to tell you something. Then decide what you really wish to do.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Devore, It's just the mind trying to keep itself busy and give you the impression that is is more than just "thoughts arising" which is all it is. Answer all thoughts will the phrase "Oh, well" and after a while the mind will begin to clear. You are not your thoughts, you are not your experiences. You just "are".

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I would have to agree that " arguing " with ego would prove fruitless if not actually empowering the ego even more so . Kundalini can bring realization of the ego and also the knowledge to understand its purpose or role for our existence in this physical awareness . We are born in the flesh and at the same time we forget to remember . This is when the ego is also born and we are already unknowingly cultivating this ego . If the awareness that kundalini can give is making you question yourself , others or a myriad of ideas , then i would say to let these question come up and then have patience that you will also be given the answers . Arguing with a self created identity or ego will not prove helpful in my opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 who says any one creates there own ego, one can only create charactor and thats out of a reflected ego one has conciousness, it is ego though one after new exsperiences or learnings may argue with previous concepts over new ones. All it is doing is filtering out the junk. This is sometime done conciously sometime unconciously sometimes superconciosly. Just my thoughts.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 the rational ego is like a sounding board, or the salesman for its own established worldview. nonordinary experience or heighened awareness is perceived as a threat to its legitimacy, and is experienced as a literal trauma, so it attacks or forcefully defends its territory with rationalization and psychological tactics. my own experience is that you will never win an argument with it but can neutralize its power somewhat by making it confront paradoxes, uncertainty and especially moral dilemmas. a more radical approach would be zen koans and the like to effectively paralyze it, at least temporarily, in an unresolvable or nonsensical problem. this is all merely my opinion and my own personal experience, as an individual with a strong ego and intellect. I would guess every individual is different in this respect. -brian , " Devore " <qutiepie682001 wrote: > > Ever since the Shaktipat I have really been " arguing " with my ego.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Things have kinda calmed down. I resorted to just ignoring it and so far so good. Thank you all for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
