The Ego Walking Through The back Door
The Ego Walking Through The back Door January 13, 2017
The ego’s purpose is to create an identity, since when we are a newborn we essentially have no identity and we see ourselves as no different to our mother. However, a realization of being separate occurs, so that child begins to form identity through likes and dislikes. Colors or feelings it like. The child will begin to say ‘I’ or ‘me’ and now the ego has become fully develop. The incredible thing about the ego it is adapts very quickly to whatever is going on in the outside world, it still manages to withhold an identity. Regardless of whether that identity is positive and self-loving or a self-destructive and negative ego. In addition, that status can change, that what makes the ego so complicated, is that it is difficult to pin point the sorts of thoughts it regularly creates since its continuously managing to change. With all of that in mind, when we begin to go on our spiritual journey. We begin to change our ideas and thought patterns for the better, and come to realizations of the existence of this labeled ‘dogmatic ego’ and we make it a goal to significantly reduce our ego. We try to desire less, we begin to be generous and treat offers as equals. However, here is the catch; we begin to form an identity out of being ego less. We from an ego identity, ironically from being ego less. In today’s clarity blog, we will be beginning to unravel that aspect of your ego, which walks in through the back door.
Our ego is an amazing survivalist, that no matter how hard we try it will never distinguish. It takes new forms and adapts to whatever environment you put yourself in. The ego is something we should accept and embrace, since it is beneficial. It give us our identity of who we are and our story, important aspects to how others view us. In addition, the ego, gives us boundaries on what we want and do not want and what we are passionate about or just tolerate. Which on the spiritual path is still necessary. When we fight that aspect of ourselves, we are fighting an impossible war, since the ego is already adapting to benefit your spirituality. The ego of course will evolve to create an identity out of your spirituality. In addition, walks in through the back door by deciding to create an identity out of being ego-less. This will cause the person to be generous and helpful to offers and feel such a great sense of reward from it. Moreover, share how much good they do for others. Which is good, to be doing well and showing kindness in a world so hostel, however the ego is still on a very destructive level. Since, we create an identity, which we are willing to defend and fight for, and when we receive critics’ we become defensive and the oversight of egoless. This false sense of identity is weak, since consciously it is true that we do things for our own self-benefit. It is something we have to accept. Which is our flaws and what makes us human. To finish it all off, we need to accept the ego, and use it to your benefit. As self-motivation to pursue higher desire, to cause us to create healthy relationships with other and ourselves by allowing it to flourish as it is. The ego will always exist so long as you are physical.
