Hi my friend,
I'd like to talk about the ego.
We all have ego,
But when we say about somebody he's egoistic,
It's usually considered not a nice thing to be or to say at somebody.
But we must have ego in order to function.
When I'm hungry,
It's I'm hungry,
Not you're hungry.
I need to recognize that my body has hunger and it's this sense of hunger and this sense of hunger actually relates to this body,
This is the ego.
When I'm tired,
I'm tired.
So it means that there's a connection between the mind and different sensation in the body.
So the ego is healthy and is normal and we must have it.
What is not healthy and normal with the ego is when it starts to tell us stories,
Yeah?
I'm good,
I'm not good,
Why they are like this and I'm like that and different stories that separates us from life.
This is not a correct use of the ego.
When the body is hungry,
The body is hungry really,
It's not I am hungry,
It's actually a confusion of the ego that identify,
Yeah,
I am the body and if the body is hungry,
I am hungry,
Yeah?
No,
The body is hungry,
It needs food.
The body is tired,
It needs to sleep.
When we feel emotional,
Yeah,
Like anger,
Sadness,
Et cetera,
Again,
It's not that I am angry,
Yeah,
It's the mind and the body experiencing anger.
So the ego really is a form of separation from creation.
Really the ego is a form of separation from creation because we're identifying as the body,
We're identifying as the mind,
We're identifying as me.
So what's wrong with that and how we can transform that?
The wrong thing about it is that it creates a lot of suffering for us,
Yeah,
Because the part that sees the emotion,
That sees the suffering is actually not the sufferer,
Yeah,
It's what observing the suffering.
The part that sees is ego-less but when I see something in me,
Yeah,
And I'm identifying with it,
Then I'm ego-full,
Yeah,
Or full of ego,
Not in a negative way,
But in a confusion,
Yeah,
It's a confusion.
Okay,
So as we're moving out of ego existence,
It means that we start to create separation between what we're observing in or out,
Like if I see a wall,
I don't say,
I am the wall,
Yeah,
It's obvious that I'm not the wall,
Yeah,
If I see somebody,
It's obvious that I'm not that person,
Yeah,
But when we see things inside us,
Like emotion,
Like thoughts,
Like physical discomfort,
We're identifying with it immediately and we say,
I am angry or I feel pain,
Etc.
We don't say there is anger within me or there is pain in my body,
Yeah,
We're immediately identifying and uniting,
Yeah,
And becoming what we're observing.
So obviously,
This is a confusion and that's really what we're dealing with,
To move out of this confusion.
If you really understand that,
Then the direction you're going to work with yourself will lead you to a very beautiful place of much more relaxed existence.
That's not easy because all life around us,
Especially humanity,
Function opposite.
Humanity tells you,
You know,
And you're telling yourself,
You are what you feel.
So to come out of that,
It's meaning moving towards spiritual enlightenment,
Yeah,
It's not acknowledging my pain,
It's not acknowledging my suffering,
But seeing that I am not the suffering,
I am what observes the suffering.
Because life is full of suffering,
That's mean life,
But when you start to observe that and stop identifying with that,
Then you're on the good direction to liberation.
So I give you so many blessings that you keep on growing and use the ego only to support you to survive and to live,
But not to pull you down into separation from life.
You're welcome to follow meditation where I'm guiding how to reach that state of pure being when you are liberated from that part within you that pulls you into suffering.
Blessing my friend.
Bye-bye.
