Your 'Forum Ego'

13 posts in this topic

I have a forum ego. This persona that interacts here with you, is not exactly the same one that relates to my family and friends.

I am pretty sure you have a special persona for this forum too. Watch that one carefully! :D

For sure this has gotta be watched.  I try to be the same on here as I am in real life.  I try to be the same around everybody.  But all of us gotta watch the desire to be a Spiritual Ego in order to try to feel superior to other Egos and to try to place ourselves at the top of the Totem Pole of Egos.  That's a real trap that I know everybody on here falls into including myself on a semi-regular basis.  You gotta see it when it's happening and feel your Ego swollen with pride and realize that you're caught up.

Some commentary from this mornings I CHING reading is relevant to this topic. Referring to hexagram 46 with a changing  6 line that I got in throwing the coins - 

,,,,,,,,,This line can also refer to a person who thinks he has been spiritually awakened. To bring himself back into harmony he needs to free himself of the self image of the awakened person.

Nope, no boundary. That's the whole point.

Have you been around when "reputation points " were still available here? Oh man that was an ego rollercoaster :D The dopamine hit from every single like was like nothing else. I'm glad Leo removed that function.

I either have no ego at all, or I'm super deluded.

What the hell! Yeah, I sure am enlightened :PxD
