Revguard User ID: 1448291 United States 12/18/2012 01:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 Hard to surpress the feeling of power you get from spiritual enlightment. I am working on it though. 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... Quoting: Seer777 Wrath <---------------0------------->Patience Greed <---------------0-------------> Charity Sloth <---------------0-------------> Diligence Gluttony <------------0-------------> Temperance Envy <----------------0------------->Kindness Pride <---------------0-------------> Humility Lust <----------------0-------------> Chastity 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. :) Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

It will still exist inside of you, but it must be balanced and understood. Ego is part of the human experience, but it has been defined as a negative. But that is the extreme parts of it. :patterns: |
