Default Re: Spiritual Materialism

The ego is materialistic and uses force where ever necessary to get what it wants, Self is Power and dosent need to.
Gandi freed India from the British without force.
All wars ( and they have been going since forever it seems) have been fought from the egoic point of I want.
Disagreement tends to come from. " Im right therefore your wrong"
Its ok for people to have different points of view, I dont mind people disagreeing with me, Id prefer they are not disagreeable, which is a different ball game alltogether.
We can live in harmony with our differences, can we not?

The book "Power versus Force" by Dr David Hawkins is an eye opener an Aha!!! moment.
