On the topic of Ego. I still struggle with this. I find it to be the hardest part of becoming "awake and aware". You feel empowered. Which can make the Ego go crazy.
Hard to surpress the feeling of power you get from spiritual enlightment.
I am working on it though.
Quoting: Revguard Ego should be balanced with Selflessness... And in that, it becomes a great asset. It is where you point focus. :) 7 Deadly versus 7 Virtues...
Wrath <---------------0------------->Patience
Greed <---------------0-------------> Charity
Sloth <---------------0-------------> Diligence
Gluttony <------------0-------------> Temperance
Envy <----------------0------------->Kindness
Pride <---------------0-------------> Humility
Lust <----------------0-------------> Chastity
Quoting: Seer777 I see the left column as Desire to serve Self. I see the right column as Will to serve Others. Very simple. '0' or Self (Who am I) is pulled and pushed between(effect), dependent upon stimuli(cause)(environment). One chooses every moment of every day how to Act. Ones actions vary due to said 'Virtues' and 'Sins' above, and how balanced they are in the individual '0'. Some act with righteousness and morality. Other much the opposite. The '0' chooses. Free will. The point is the Movement. Self Control. I guess that what it all come down to... People being able through balance to control their own often impulsive and hurtful behaviors. The prison system is not a deterrent. Neither religion, which just adds to the atrocity and nonsense. It seem...Man desires to govern him or herself without needing other forms of external control to keep one 'safe'. To do so, we would need to learn as a species how to do it. :)    the 7 virtues! wow, i was just writing those down the other day! lol now i know why , when earlier i seen your name and thought i love you! hmmm! im pondering!
