When you say the word I you are really saying how you see things. EYE is how you perceive your reality that you have created for yourself. But often we don't really try to interperet images and the energy they share. That is a big part of ego, not being willing to really evaluate what you see while accepting it as what you know.

It is actually saying you are way bigger and important than you are.

I've seen so many responses to my talk of langauge going along the lines of "my words mean what I want them to". Actually no that's not true. Once you say those words to somebody else, you don't know what their filters are. You have no clue what and how somebody thinks until you actually try to understand the context and history of the words you use. But the control system is always trying to keep us current and short in thought.

It is the produt of the illusion, but if you see people are less happy even though they have more to distract and entertain. Why is that?

Well it's simply complex. The simple is most things around us at this point are poisoning us in some form, but the complex answer is everybody intereprets the incoming stimuli with their own experiences. It makes the fix complex.

UNLEARN everything. You cannot move forward if you don't stop and ditch all the BS. It's not because you have good or bad going on, it's because you REALLY need to evaluate and understand what you are being told rather than what you interperet it to be.

I've been spelling out the keys to the illusion lately, but a lot will not get it. A few will get it but not know how to deprogram. If anyone wants to talk about it or learn how, I'm here, and there are a few others on here who are well versed and are more experienced than I could ever be.

At this point in the game, we need to lose our associations and really deal with things for what they are and not for what we accept them to be...

I know somebody has something to say on this. I don't take your silence as misunderstanding or such.

I know some on here who can expand on the concept with great clarity...

Maybe you're not getting the desired reaction because people take offense to being offered " help " when they're not asking for advice in the first place ?

That could have something to do with it.

Re: I'm trying to explain how to ditch ego, but people call it egotistical. Who really has the ego?
The language in Ruiz books is very helpful, imho. I mean, why reinvent the wheel, eh. I was at first surprised to find my "great discoveries" had already been found eons ago and that there really isn't anything new under the sun. This truly must be a place of self discovery and learning. (The universe, not GLP, although...).

In The Four Agreement, for instance, he refers to beliefs as agreements which we can break. At the same time he shows how to remove ego, stalk oneself, close emotional wounds, and get along and relate to others.

Ego is just an idea but some think of it as truth, so you do not have one but separation and division in the mind is part of the subjective program to delude you beware!!!
Graceless and Skeptical as hell!!!

Learn about how a clinical sociopath operates, you might get some insights.

Instead of discussing the ego, which is hard to prove.
