OK, I'd like to clarify something for better understanding:
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.
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.
Quoting: German Guy 1133370This is something that I wondered about, too. I am reminded of how Seth talks about the "Inner Ego" from which extends the outer ego, which is the one called "I" in the physical.
