Re: Spiritual Materialism
Dear Anchor
thank you for your first post of this thread, it if filled with humility, the ego is not too fond of that.
Anything that is transient and of form is not who we truly are.
We are formless, manifest into form for the brief period of this assumed identity.
We are not the ego because it is changing its point of view all the time, however we are responsible for what it does, so to speak.
Its not an enemy just self centered and it is a great teacher. Eventually there is no more we can learn from it.
If it knew better it would do better.
We are all born into this life with one, it comes with the body and if we do not wish to return here and wish to move on then we need to transcend it, wish it well and surrender it to our creator.
The ego is just the buying into the "Me story in our head" all the I am this I am that, I believe this I believe that. All belief systems and constructs change over time, what we truly are is constant and unchanging, the presence within our mortal coil.
Eventually we evolve to the point where we realise we are as we are, does the bird need to know its a bird in order to fly?
Regards to all.
Chris
