You demonize you ego, because it drives you towards desire of things that, if you dont achieve them, you suffer?, that´s life, get over it, i think.

I dont see the need to build up a mentality of being above everything human just to feel happy human, positive, emotions, childish. Happiness is on the same level than every other feeling you can imagine to experience, they are all you, you are all them. You are human, not an elevated being above all of us, humans; dont make yourself so distant, we can´t touch you, then, so cold, we can even feel your heat.


You entire thread is about limiting yourself because, you are too much to yourself to handle. You are your own enemy, not the "ego".


It seems that you speak alone here, you keep talking about the same things i talked with you in the earlier posts, you only enjoy listening to yourself.

Dear Leunamros
Your points are valid and thats the way I percieved things too.
However I was stressed out had ulcers in dept and that was in the early days of getting sober and balanced.
Then along came Eckhart Tolle with the book "the Power of Now" which has sold millions of copies.
I read the book at least 8 times and each time the understanding deepend.

I dident need to be ill stressed limited etc.

I am still in the process of overcoming but with each move forward life gets lighter.
The challenges are still experienced but I view them differently.
The ego was necaessary to get us this far and I thank it for that but we are an evolving species and it is becoming redundant.

Its is not necessary to have an ego to experience life. Life is going to continue just the same, its just much easier to handle. I am becoming more human more concerned for the welfare of others.

I had to have enough humility to accept what those whom I respected had to share with me.

I respect what you shared with me/us and I respect all the contributors.

If anyone is happy with their way of experiencing life then I m also happy for them.

I wasent I am now.
