Default Re: The ego what is it? How to transcend?

It is in the nature of the ego find what it is looking for.
Everything that is contrary to its point of view is ignored discarded as irrelevant.
Contrary information is sometimes not even noticed consciously as the brain has an automatic filter process.
The statement "Love is blind" springs to mind - The love at first sight--- the honeymoon period then what?
Eckhat Tolle says "Dont take your thoughts too seriously"
I wouldent take feelings that serious either.
There are times when extreme discretion is required.
An Anchor may be necessary
The ego will happily lead you into drama regardless of true or false.
In extreme cases the ego would rather let you die than admit error or kill countless others.
Wars are fought over a point of view.
Still I believe that we are coming to a point in the evolution of man kind where love and harmony will prevail.
I can of course find evidence for that thought.
