One view on ego

4 posts in this topic

I read somewhere " Everyone's ego is moving through his perverse repentance and self-invents ways to wonder with other egos (or yous)(ego also means "I" in greek), creating an infinite braid" 

What do you think?

Ego doesn't exist, they're all jut problems of desire (food/sex/drugs/dopamine/materialism/sleep) being insatiable, anger being uncontrollable and pride (not wanting ot learn from your own mistakes or others).

Way it's overcome is training your body so you have better self control and you don't consume bs that has negative feedback loop:
Bad food=feel bad=want to feel good=drugs=feel bad=want to feel good=video games and tv=feel bad=want to feel good=buy stuff from ads=feel bad=want to feel good=go to bed

Training your mind via meditation, reading; books/lectures, listening; audiobooks/lectures/mentors and helping others by sharing your time/emotions/action/knowledge and money.

Ego is just the nu age, Buddhism, left wing, hindu version of sin, like in Christianity it doesn't exist.

to wonder with other egos

There is only one ego: yours. Other egos are just a creation of your ego.


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

@PhilGR It's impossible for the ego to look at himself. It's a joke. Alan Watts also said it; the ego doesn't exist. 


"We are like the spider. We weave our life and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream. This is true for the entire universe."

-- The Upanishads
