EGO What is EGO?
EGO is the melting of characteristics,
Experience,
Knowledge,
Environment,
Thoughts of every kind and other factors which are directly related to the mental state of development of an individual.
The real EGO is the representative of that individual during its life,
The extrovert expression factor.
The core of the EGO is not a product of development during life,
But develops during pregnancy.
During pregnancy the individual grows a conscience where the force of the EGO is based.
It is interesting to know that the Western world is still discussing when human life starts.
Most of these discussions are connected with the religious belief that a God will give every human a soul at a certain moment in time.
Only after the soul gets in the embryo it is considered a life.
It is a discussion not based on facts,
But on ideology and there is not a thread of evidence to support it.
Life starts at the moment of conception.
When the sperm enters the egg cell it starts the process of multiplication in a breathtaking speed.
Multiplication is the first sign of life.
Life starts at the moment of this conception.
Life does not come instantly,
It is transferred from two beings into one being.
Two persons have given their DNA to be connected into one to continue their existence.
Life and conscience are two different entities.
Real consciousness occurs only after awareness starts.
Awareness starts from the moment we are able to receive information and impressions.
In other words,
Our conscience can only be developed when receiving information.
With the development of our senses we develop a growing awareness of our conscience.
And our conscience is the foundation of ego development.
From all we know it can be said that the ego and conscience are both from the same source but during life they develop in a different way and have a different expression.
Our conscience has a minute to minute existence and it is clearly available at all time.
Without it we cannot function.
The ego is hidden behind the conscience and to most people not visible but it is the driver on the back seat.
An example to make it more clear I always say that the ego is the driver and the conscience is the vehicle itself.
To be a driver is a responsibility as we are able to make any direction we wish to go,
Left or right or front,
Our vehicle will follow our orders within its limitations of the conscious being.
If we take the speed too high the vehicle gets damaged.
We are able to polish the scratches,
Repair the damage but it is impossible to control the aging process.
Every vehicle is judged by its cover.
People will get it to a value but are not able to see the damage inside.
Even the greatest expert mechanic is unable to estimate damage in any vehicle exactly.
We only can make a guess.
The best repairman is unable even with a profound detailed control to tell how long a car can last.
It is a known fact that it is not the sum of all parts that make the machine run but the cooperation of these parts will make the thing move.
To explain ego we need more than what is mentioned here.
The ego has a reflection of expectations in life.
Every person has dreams and wishes and he,
She wishes to fulfil during this life.
All these expectations and wishes are the foundation of our experiences and studies.
Most people have moderate demands in life,
A good job,
A family with children,
A house and a car and everything to make their life comfortable.
But some seek wealth,
Fame or other ways of life.
Every expectation reflects in our daily routines.
In another podcast I will tell you about Maya and the illusion.
Part of our ego is based on Maya and that is why we cannot fully control all our own ego at all time.
During our everyday life we need our ego to show the world of who we are.
It is a leader of our image and representation.
But as a part of our ego is based on illusion we grow problems over the years and it becomes harder to be connected with our true self.
When the years go by our ego gets more buried under the created illusions of life.
Let me give you an example of how our life treats the ego.
You can compare it having an ego with the following story.
Imagine you own a small garage box and you park your car,
That is your ego,
Inside.
It is a car you only use sometimes because it is beautiful and you will not like it when it is stolen.
So if you drive it around the park or on roadside you will be really careful with it.
But after the car is parked there you start to move stuff to be stored in the same box as you have a lot of space and you don't want to waste that space.
The storing of your stuff continued over time.
Not only you bring things in there but also your children put things in it,
Your family.
Slowly the space is getting fuller and fuller.
But one day you want to have the car and you open the front door.
A lot of stuff falls out on the floor and your garage seems to be a mess.
Everything becomes messy while you search for a way how to take that car out.
You don't want to damage the car so you pay a lot of attention to move all the stuff one by one from one place to another place to open the garage door.
In a way that you can get the car out but there is too much stuff.
And you need to spend a long time on the details,
The illusions and the time that you keep moving all the loose stuff,
The illusion track of the main topic to get the car out.
After a while it becomes impossible to take the car out of the garage without throwing away a lot of the products.
But are you willing to go that far?
Not only our own expectations play an important role in our life,
These of our family and friends,
The environment and society do place a heavy load on our shoulders.
But the real lasting effects come from the most unexpected group called your enemies.
This group consists of the bullies,
The horrible colleagues,
The political opponents,
Your competitors which all have a lasting effect on your life.
Most of the time these negative people have a bigger influence on our lives than the positive people and we still let it happen without strong resistance.
Like the mentioned car the ego slowly gets polluted with the dirt as experience leaves a lot of scratches and dents and sometimes even holes behind.
When the lager of the car is damaged and the sensitive parts break it becomes aware that it is hardly possible to repair the car.
But just before birth we consider the ego to be in balance.
This all changes the moment of birth.
An enormous amount of positive and negative energy compounds on that little person in the moment of birth.
These impressions have a strong influence on the conscious and the subconscious.
To young people the effect will last a lifetime and most will never remember it.
One of the most important events which makes a deep impression on the newborn is the welcome that the child receives upon birth.
It is a welcome and greeted with joy and happiness.
Or are there sorrow and pain,
Fear or other negative emotions around.
Often we talk about balance but there is no such thing as balance as the scale of balance is just only with weights.
In fact we refer to a connection between different energy levels of which we prefer to use the positive level only.
But we need the negative level to counter the positive and make our life functional in every way.
To explain this I better give you some examples.
Negative energy most people are let in their life by fear,
By anger,
Frustration,
Revenge,
Desire,
Anger,
Lust,
Mistrust and other emotions which can start from small but easily grow to extreme levels.
Many people can be successful due to these emotions even they have to give in all the positive sides of their life.
Some people go to the extremes to reach a position of power.
Nearly all who follow the road of the negative emotions get a turning point in life where they realize how much damage they have done and they want to go for a change.
Most really start to change their lives but are not successful due to the net they have got themselves into.
To untangle their life from the negative spiral takes a huge effort and a lot of energy.
But I cannot be denied that the people with these negative controlled energy levels also reach their targets which in itself can be a positive thing also.
When we look at history we see that many real negative events also left behind positive trails.
Positive energy,
People who are motivated by positive energy are working for the good cause such as their environment,
The welfare of the group or the change in position for a personal group.
Positive energy is used for the benefit of others without losing yourself in the moment.
Positive energy is not a complete denial of yourself or your existence.
In top sport the performance of an athlete motivates many others and its records or other wins will give something others consider as a positive energy into society.
In general we can state that positive energy is more directed into the benefit of the society,
The group or the environment than the person only.
People who choose for this way have lesser chance to get rich or be powerful but generally live a happier and more peaceful life.
Our ego makes choices which energy level we choose at what time.
Our life is completely influenced by these choices.
The mentioned energy levels are different from what we know as good and bad.
Power can be reached and used in a positive and in a negative way and the road toward it can be taken from different directions.
To get some understanding of the strength of your own ego I have developed some exercise methods to test the strength of your resistance or acceptation.
We use open hand techniques to test it.
Two persons are taking an opposing position with palms placed against each other.
One person steps toward the other,
First slowly then fast.
Do you feel frightened?
The other person also approaches and the distance becomes shorter.
The level of person interference is rising and the comfort zones are entered.
The next exercise followed the first is to stretch one arm and bend the other in an opposing order.
Your faces will come very close.
What do you feel?
The best way to do this exercise is with strangers and not with people you know.
Entering the comfort zone of a stranger delivers great tension which is sometimes positive and sometimes negative.
After this other exercises will follow which create awareness of your ego existence.
We all need to realize our ego existence to understand more of who we are and what we are doing here.
It would be nice to invite you to my lessons but that will be probably too far apart.
So the only thing I can say,
Enjoy this podcast and all the others.
Try to listen more than one time to discover the secrets of who we are and the guidance to a stronger and more powerful you.
