This is an interesting non-conflictive banter between me
& another person on living by the heart or ego & the difference between
expressing the ego to being controlled by the ego. I do indeed respect bestearth’s reasoning.
G'day Mathew,
Thinking is what the ego likes. The sensable place to dwell
must be the heart. It's the centre of the body and energy systems. The mind's
thinking is like a shed full of tools when something needs to be
measured/analysed. Then tools down and back to the heart, which is home.
The ego has no ability other than to 'think' of ways to
control everything. It has no imagination, no creativity and it's only means of
survival is to hijack the creativity and productivity of others. It hooks onto
the traces of guilt, shame and uncertainty in others. It is parasitic in nature
feeding on the resistant, struggling psychology of others.
If you don't have any guilt, shame, uncertainty, there is
nothing for an ego to latch onto. An ego will never bother you.
The ego is a toxic whirlpool whose end point is suicide or
some form of destruction. Toxic thoughts lead to toxic emotions to toxic
actions to toxic body become toxic habits that inwhorl to every permutation of
suffering and pain. The ambitious ego fancies himself as the king rat in a
sewer. It is arrogant and seeks contention to keep itself alive. Because it has
turned it's back on creation and the creator, its only power is to control and
dominate others.
A good way to repel an ego is to ask them "How's your
Spirit?" You'll get a perplexed look at the least because the ego is the
opposite of Spirit. The ego thinks, the Spirit feels. The ego relies on cunning
but it's intelligence is static. The Spirit relies on intuition and it's
intelligence is fluid.
So I don't think we can think our way out of extinction. I
don't feel there will be any extinction. We can''t feel our way out of
extinction either because that would be a negative goal. We can feel our way
into our own individual true self which leads to the true calling which leaves
behind all concepts and flavours of fear for the expansive smorgasbord of
Love's permutations. With no victims left the ego is out of business. This is
the positive path that I believe connects us to creation and to natural
understanding, joyful living and learning.
G'day bestearth
Yes indeed, once we see a problem or something to counteract
the ego is at play & this is where there is no right & wrong comes into
it, I've written about this a few times. I do however see a difference between
expressing the ego to being controlled by the ego & again there is no right
or wrong in being expressive or being controlled by the ego. Once we see a
right or wrong the egos at play again & we have all done this even at times
unbeknownst to ourselves.
Saying all this I think we can think our way out of this
mess but only if we are aware enough, yes this is the ego at play again however
the difference is in the awareness of being expressive of the ego as opposed to
being controlled by the ego. Being human we can't get away in being expressive of
the ego, every time we get dressed to what foods we eat all comes down to ego
however the difference is in being expressive of the ego to being controlled by
the ego. A person controlled by the ego will take some time getting dressed but
a person being expressive of the ego will just wear clothing suited to the
occasion. No matter what we do we are all expressive of the ego.
This all comes back to needing to think our way out of this
mess which by the way at the spiritual level isn't a mess to me however at the
human level it is & it's this expressiveness of the ego that will change
this reality first mentally then physically I believe. A lot of spiritually aware people will avoid
conflicting with others which by the way comes down to judgement which is again
expressive of the ego however for real change to occur at the expressive ego
level, (human level), we need to be, at times, quite strongly expressive of the
ego without being controlled by the ego for real change to take effect. The
trick is not to become controlled by the ego again for in this lays more lies
& chaos.
I can see where you are coming from but it won't, in it's
entirety, change this reality. Physical intervention is needed & the right
kind of physical intervention that isn't controlled by the ego, could you
imagine a reality not controlled by the ego but a reality just being expressive
of the ego which we can't avoid in our present form? Jesus, Buddha & alike weren’t egotistical beings
just because they were expressive of the ego & they did need to be expressive
of the ego for us to learn from them.
When sitting within my own quietens it would seem we need to
do very little however coming out of this conscious state we do need to do
something which again will be expressive of the ego. I do think while within
this quietness we can be delusional & start to think we need to do very
little but that has never been the case in anytime in human history. We are expressive ego beings, that is
unavoidable within our current state of being. Actually being aware of our awareness
states is also expressive of the ego believe it or not so no matter what we
feel& think it’s still of the ego I believe.
