Understanding The Creation of The Modern Ego

[kieranperez]

A GREAT explanation of the modern ego structure and why pursuing enlightenment is so much more of a messy task than it was in several hundreds of years ago and thousands of years ago:

This is critical. This is why personal development and different forms of psychology are really necessary for a lot of people who pursue enlightenment. They have such a messed up ego structure that they really can't pursue enlightenment effectively. Which is why you see Ken Wilber stress "Cleaning Up" & "Growing Up" as necessary processes that needs to be used in conjunction with "Waking Up". Or what Shunyamurti would just call healing through his system of what he calls "Atmanology".
