[quote:German Guy 1133370:MV8xMjIzNjc4XzE5OTIyOTM3XzIxQUYzNkU5] OK, I'd like to clarify something for better understanding: [quote:Anonymous Coward 1118155] You see the ego is always waiting in the wings and the dark forces are always goading it to reassert itself. [...] Also helpful with this is to know from experience the different ways the ego will try to reassert itself and being proactive about that. [/quote] You use the term ego. How would you define ego? There are so many ways 'ego' is used today. Some think of it as a kind of filthy something one needs to get rid of. Others think it is the physical self, and so on. In some traditions, the Ego is the "higher self", or Jiva, and the "center" of this self is on the causal plane. This causal ego goes by many names and is called "Essence" (in my opinion) in Gurdjieff's teaching and I think this is where you are hinting at. But a clarification would be very useful, indeed. Thanks. [/quote]

Yes, after years of work, I broke out of the Matrix and now consider myself both free and enlightened.
I will try to help you do the same.
