Re: How ‘Love’ and ‘Oneness’ Teachings Are Used to Disempower people.
Excellent article! Thanks for posting it, Deoxyan.
The ego is the I AM. All along the way, on this dimension and others, even when we tap into cosmic love and/or merge with others, we become more of ourselves. We still have an EGO, that ego is who we are.
Every preacher, guru and new age teacher I've known and had fun arguing with and even tried following at times, was a hypocrite when it came to BEING what they were preaching. I concluded that it's because they were trying to deny the true power of the ego and teach and BE something that they are not. I decided to not attempt to deny my ego in favor of my soul, because I see them as inseparable.
I believe much of the "love and light" preaching can be a powerful tool used to disempower those who buy into it and many of them live with guilt their entire lives. We wouldn't have an ego if it wasn't essential to who we are.
