I’m closer to my true self than I’ve ever been. Thankfully too because my ego was not getting me anywhere.
,,,Stella,with respect…perhaps a better understanding of this word,Ego,would be helpful to you realizing your soul…peace…
Yep ! Learn to tell the different between the false & truth then act accordingly

Well…I doubt, whether the ego is as negative as potrayed here?? Though the word 'ego' is always used in 'not a good' sense….YET..few points need to be pondered. Firstly, we should be very clear about the fine lines of demarcation between self respect, self worth, self love, self obsession, and arrogance or pride. Secondly, it is a matter of individual perspective, that what one declares to be haughtiness of other, is actually a reserved/ serious personality trait…..may be innate or may be acquired for personal reasons! Thirdly, isnt it more than often, that we so precisely and impatiently diagnose a so termed 'ego-istic' behaviour in others, when our expectations from them are not fulfilled?? On one hand we talk about realising self worth in relations…of doing justice to our self respect..and on other hand we so hastily tag a person to be selfish/ self centred!! Anyway….according to me, there will always be endless debates on this, if we shall try to define or characterise 'Ego' in terms of relation to the world. For me EGO should find a better meaning if chanellised to that Supreme Divine…E- Eternity, G- God, O-Oneness…i.e. ONE-NESS WITH GOD TILL ETERNITY!!!
..well said Shraddha…respect…
Thank you, with regards..

The ego is simply a reflection to the selfishness, however the soul gives the true meaning of your life. 😀
…there is no way to the soul except thru the Ego…one can gain nothing without the Ego…give away all that you possess then give your life…then you have soul…think…
…this remains a problem and may always be ; ''Cultural Differences''…Eastern and Western…Buddha and Freud…
Terry D. Pickron i like that.peace…
Saravana Kumar M ,perhaps the 100% is gained only at the death of this body…to begin again to gain another 100%…so on and so on…without the memories…
Anna Leah Moon ,we are just talking as adults and friends,see how this sounds,what if the virtues of the ''soul'' listed is an ''end result'' and only achieved thru the actions of the Ego,for example,peace might only be gained thru war…the wisdom of ''age'' can only be gained thru the ''Egoism'' of youth and we are all a ''mixture'' of both…my problem is the destruction of the Ego…
Terry D. Pickron violence is a wasteful emotion. It only scars us in the end. Anger is good but hatred is not. Reconciliation and forgiveness are tools to make us feel better. You said that to grow in this life means disassociation from the past so to do that one must forgive no matter how painful it is. Slavery is just evil..it is the total degradation of humanity. I still think that life is unfair..i grew-up angry about anything. Why? Why this and that only made me miserable because i can't change all the unfairness i see all around me. And i've wasted myself. I only realized that the only change I could muster is in me. I could be my master or slave..strong or weak ..
we cant follow 100%
thats reality
we need proportion of 70% true self and 30% false self to live in this world, u cant live with 100% true

Brittany Zisti. The comparisons we talked about
My soul died a painful death to support the lies of a bruised ego.
your Ego has saved you…look at the list…peace…
Terry D. Pickron..separation, blame, anger, resentment…are what tortured me…nothing more..
Anna Leah Moon ,with respect…these are symptoms not the illness…your expectations of peace,trust,simplicity,peace,etc…were betrayed by the soul that desired what was not realistic…but whatever works…the ego is the last hope before death…
Terry D. Pickron should i agree to this? Somehow it made sense..i should have taken care of my ego's needs first because it was real..perhaps it did saved me..
Anna Leah Moon ,yes,it is our desire to live and be better not as a slave to anyone or any thing…
Anna Leah Moon ,when you are being abused does your forgiveness save you or your anger…
Terry D. Pickron i was always angry..anger was one of my sheilds.
Anna Leah Moon ,anger must be experienced to gain peace…spiritual growth is a process…
…''idealism requires nothing…history and reality demand action and sometimes violence'' (?),masters and slaves….abusers and abused…the strong and the weak…etc…look and see history…
…mysticism is not reality…just an idea…I love it until the wolves come to the door for my children…be happy do not worry,give them a…flower…peace…
appreciation…
