Re: The ego what is it? How to transcend?
imagine "God" is a circle.
Put 4 points within the circle in different places.
give each point in the circle free will.
Let each point continually expand it's Self awareness, through Free Will choices and completely unique experiences of it's identity, until it realizes that it is the entire circle.
Note that each point took a different view point and a different route to get to teh awareness that the point is the circle.
Now imagine the point remains, yet it has grown to the size of the circle.
The point of awareness, the unique individualization that is the point, is the circle, yet it is the point. So are the other 3. All four are One, because they are the circle, yet they remain the point.
Now Each circle will go to another sheet of paper and play the game again, this time, creating a circle with their own consciousness, which they have expanded to the circle, and putting four new limited points of awareness within the circle. What is One, is now, four, then 16, then 64 when each one of the four points in the sixteen circles becomes fully Self realized that it also is the fullness of the circle.
The One is many, yet all are One.
Unique points of view, Co-creators in All that IS.
Now imagine a point in the circle becomes sure that it is seperate from the other points and decides to fight them. Can that point ever expand it's awareness to see that it is the fullness of the circle? No. This is ego. Ego cannot see that Oneness is reality because it is based on comparisons of what is One.
Oneness is not sameness, if it was, you would not would not have Free Will.
Does not God take away Free Will?
I realize there may be an opinion here, but consider asking God now inside.
What is Truth? Not a belief. No. Being is the only Truth.
