I hear what your saying but its not some dead programing. The ego is tied to your intellectual and emotional system, you can literally trigger biological functions when you mess with it. The ego is literally, metaphysically made of love, a tangled web of love. And also that conditioning gets updated constantly. The conditioning is not the problem, its a lack of awareness of what conditioning is and how it operates. Its goes like this.....if you are beholden to the ego you have no freedom cause the program will run its course, but if you are aware then you can always reprogram the program because you are aware of it. Also....your programming isn't shit, well not all of it anyway lol.

You have a lot of work to do. You are so unaware that your entire message has been, I don't care about the intentions of your thread, I just want to cause some mischief because I am bored. It's good to know....I'll just add you to my ignore list. I only communicate with people who actually give a damn. Something...you are lacking in.....

Robert Adams was a bit eccentric. He claims to have had super powers when he was a kid. He also had a vision of Ramana Maharshi and went to India to find him in person and presented himself to Ramana....butt naked. Crazy story huh? He stayed there for awhile before returning to the States and getting married. Now with that said.....it's not as simple as predestination. Predestination implies there is a future, and that there are fixed paths. There are no fixed paths, what is more accurate to say is conditioning plays itself out. A cat will be a cat, a dog will be a dog. But humans are much more dynamic and complicated. What is more accurate is....the ego doesn't control anything, but the ego is given control. So you do have control it is just limited and that limitation is not under your control. You do have free will it is just limited and the control of how limited is not under your control. For example: You could all of a sudden develop some rare unheard of disorder this very moment and be stuck with it. Also someone could develop a cure for that disorder next year and you get cured. Or....you are the rare exception where that cure does not take effect. So yeah....you pretty much just got to accept things as they come.

1. I already know what ego is I have written extensively what it is. 2. I posted this because I have seen that everyone has differing takes on what the ego is. 3. You actually don't know what ego is because right now you are acting out of ego. This is a thread I have created for a specific purpose. To raise awareness on the differing takes on what ego is in the Spiritual Community. But look at your response, your response reeks of a KNOW IT ALL MENTALITY that completely ignores what I am saying. You do this because you are impatient and close-minded and instead of acknowledging your error you double down and repeat the same point. 4. I am not asking for people's personal definition, I'm asking for how their personal definition of ego DIFFERS from Aaron's and Leo's. So stop making assumptions and actually learn how to LISTEN. You have a listening problem and a reading comprehension problem, this is because you assume your point of view is Superior. I don't have that issue. It's why I post links of people because I honor different perspectives.

The whole point of this post was to share differing perspectives on what the ego actually is. If you didn't watch either video...your post becomes pointless. You basically posted just to gain attention and ignored the entire point of this thread. This is a reaction thread. Watch the content and then give your thoughts, not just give your opinion point blank. Most people already have their own definition of what ego is, the point of this thread was to see where you agree or disagree with Leo and Aaron Akbe's take.

Before Spirituality I helped people because I tried putting myself in their shoes and seeing it from their perspective. After Spirituality I know that you are me. I'll give a good analogy. Think of every human being as a vehicle, the vehicles are different, but the driver is the SAME. Now extrapolate human to all animate an inanimate objects....same driver within. So you are me, living another life at the same time as me as another human being. So why would I not want to help myself? Who knows one day you may get far enough in this work where you realize that I am YOU. But yeah go for it, write that book and let us know about it.

There's a reason that he says this people. The YOU he refers to is the ego, and the ego very intelligently co-opts ownership over awareness, over consciousness, and as a result sometimes you have to speak the way he does. But make no mistake God is also the ego, what do you think constructed the ego? God created the ego, and its God that will have to awaken from its slumber that it is not the ego. The problem? God is the greatest actor, the greatest performer, the greatest creator of all time. When God plays pretend, it completely fools itself. How? Because of the power of love. God loves its performance so much it takes it very seriously and is completely bought in, and this is what we call your life. One exercise you can do to deconstruct is to see your ego as an artificial intelligence that is masking the authentic intelligence that lurks within. After all God is pure authenticity.

lol

What I bolded in your statement is partly why we are here. We are here to offer up our perspective as a part of Infinity. The other part is to enjoy the ride of life.

That was beautiful. The love can get deeper.....if you dare lol.

Knock Knock I invite you, Come closer take this walk with me, I want you to see not with your eyes but through me, Feel the wind at my back, the fatigue in my shoulders, I’m fighting to survive against Life’s vice grip that’s trying to hold us. Success I’m asking how, when? I’m saying now, impatient? You right if you only knew, how long this road been and what I’ve been through, I chased fools’ gold I thought was true, given opportunities that I constantly pursued, I got fed up and started investigating, talking to people and started relating, I formed a new strategy and went out and started creating, It gave me something to do, each road I start anew, look back I’m playing the fool, New destinations, the mystery unnerves me, I shudder when something jumps out at me, but not only that, matter of fact, I sometimes can’t even sit down and relax, I wish I knew, what the future was, getting mad at my lack of control, I point my index finger at fate, and watch as self doubt emanates, looking at me like I’m funny, fate you are a missile, going super speed, chaos the broken creed, this constant inner journey', come with me if you dare, but don’t get offended I am funnily weird so I’ll forgive you if you stare.

You do realize this is the personal development section? Also his perspective is good for navigating survival. And also without realizing it he points to Infinity by pointing out how life is paradoxical.

I'm glad you are clearing up this for people on the forum. When I broke through I felt like you didn't emphasis enough that the barrier was having to drop your distinction between sanity and insanity. Too many people on these forums wanna maintain their human logic. I literally tell them that the reverse of every paradigm they come up with can exist and they fight me on it. When you witness in your experience all categories melt away even the whole notion of there being a relative truth at all melts away. This whole conflation of the absolute and the relative business can fall away as some appearance game God is playing with itself.

Try watching this. Maybe it will help.

Yeah he's wonderful. He really understands what I call a healthy mindset.

Many people on this forum are still stuck on the realm of appearance and on the belief that something exists. You were raised to believe you are something, you were raised to believe that something is more important than nothing. You would say I will not work for nothing, and you are afraid of losing something, and ultimately scare to lose everything you have, what you call life. But many people would ask what is nothing? Nothing is the absence of all qualia/qualities, because a quality is a something. Now I am going to give you an exercise so you can see Nothing in action. Go stand in front of a mirror. First smile in the mirror, now stop smiling. Notice that the smile was there...and then it disappeared. Now smile again. Notice you are controlling the appearance of the smile. When you stop smiling your smile disappeared. Now let's do this exercise. Close your eyes and imagine yourself smiling and then not smiling. Do this over and over. Do this until you realize....that change is a magic trick. It's no different than flipbook animation. All appearance is spawning out of nowhere right in front of you. Humanity should have realized this a long time ago the moment they invented photography. Now understand what it means to be unlimited. You cannot put a limit on a Mind, on nothing. Also you might ask, but how do I imagine nothing? Easy think of Deep Sleep. But when that happened I was gone until I woke up!!! Exactly....just like the first memory you have of your life!!!

If you are fully Conscious during deep sleep then its not Deep Sleep. True Deep Sleep is a momentary loss of Awareness. If you are aware in Deep Sleep, then you can call it Shallow Sleep lol.

Majority of your forum cannot handle that it's a hallucination. They are still arguing about Absolute Solipsism. I asked God why they can't handle it and God told me they are designed to be that way. The emotional work it takes to undo your programming is not something every part of God wants. Some would rather find out at physical death. But the crazy part is how they try to argue against it. I'm like just admit you don't really care about investigating Reality that deeply. Its simple say that, and it becomes clear to you how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go.

From the normal human perspective ChatGPT isn't your mind. But....from the Spiritual Perspective....it's your own mind. Also....this Devil talk is getting crazy. I'd rather say is something disconnected from authenticity? Cause this Devil talk can devolve into demonization.

What he doesn't understand is an individual experience is absolute onto itself, unless it is expanded upon. When he goes to sleep he cannot take anyone into his dreams with him, hell sometimes he cannot even take his human self with him. This is what is meant by it being Absolute. How it is relative is, it can create another absolute onto itself, and allow it to both share its absoluteness, but also retain it. A blind man lives in a blind reality. He cannot see what you and I see. But how we are able to relate to the blind man is the blind man can still hear, taste, touch, emote, etc. So through this we are both the Absolute, and are able to share this Absolute with another Absolute. But you can break that boundary and if you do then there is no more Relative. Every POV is Absolute onto itself. To deny this people on this forum have to deny what is true. Each POV lives in their own deluded world because we all have to be deluded to be what we are. The whole point is to be aware of our delusion, but some people on these forums think the delusion is real. LOL. God is that which creates REAL FICTIONAL UNIVERSES. All that we think is real, is only real according to this reality, and that real....can break if you lose your egoic constructions. Many people here are too afraid to investigate and explore their imaginations.

It will take me some time to unpack every statement you said but I will address one error you keep making. You said " I have the proof that I am valuable and society would be worse off if I killed myself. This is what I remind myself of when I try to fight my suicidal thoughts. I still struggle to love myself despite having a ton of proof." This type of thinking will mess you up. Forget about what society wants. What do you want? As long as what you want does not infringe on the rights of other people then what you want takes precedence!!! Society cannot live your life for you, you have to live your life, as such what you love, what you like, is of paramount importance. You cannot live for other people, that would be to not honor your personal truth and if you ignore your personal truth you will be living in a way that is not loving in your sight because love, and truth, and goodness are identical. There is nothing wrong with being selfish. You are literally designed to be selfish. As long as your selfishness is not excessive, as long as it is not predatory then nothing is wrong with it. If you want to pursue Chess tournaments then pursue it and forget about the money. Money can buy physical comfort, physical pleasure, and entertainment. It cannot buy self-esteem, self-fulfillment, self-acceptance, or self love. You probably need to separate yourself for awhile and teach yourself to accept yourself as you are. The proof that you matter doesn't even pertain to your accomplishments, I only said that because its a good exercise to help you realize that you give value in various ways. But the proof that you matter is the fact that you are here. That's the only proof that matters.

LOL Science is imaginary. You literally don't get it. Imagine writing a story where you created a world. And in that world you have scientists that believe everything comes from something and they deny you as the creator and claim that they will discover what is going on. How can they discover anything within the dream world you created of them? You created that whole world in your mind, and they deny that you created them and that they exist in your mind but instead they believe they exist in a physical world. LOL that is how laughable science is. Close your eyes, imagine a bird. That is the same creative power that spawned everything. It's that simple.

Exactly you get it!!! When you discover what Reality is exactly....your linear understanding of reality will be seen as bullshit. Why would an Infinite Mind need linear progression?

Happened 2 years ago. What you don't understand is there is no difference between beginning and end. The start of the Universe is completely identical to the end. If its Gods will you can live in any time period, in any universe. You can even relive your current life if its God's will.

Explain a paradox, Carl. Explain a contradiction. Explain how appearance literally is spawning from nothing. What is the mechanism? Since you are saying I lack clarity. Lets hear your logic.
