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

The ego loves to make all kinds of assumptions with little or no evidence.
This week began here with snow in fact Inverness was cut of for two days the roads being blocked.
Today the sun shone and it was warm enough to sit out in the garden.
Now the ego would like to relate the variances in the weather to signs of the end times, the prophecies being fulfilled.
Well the weather is the weather just doing what it does.
4 seasons in one day as the song goes.
No doubt that climate is changing, the gulf stream is slowing and that could be a precursor to an ice age. All that can be said is that there are cycles and we are in one though which one who knows.
The ego would love to make doom and gloom of it --- drama drama drama.
Or yes we are heading for ascension and all the signs are there -- different drama drama drama.
The ego finds the present moment boring --it lives on "Whats next?"
Life can only be lived NOW.
The ego totaly misses the point.
It is in acquisition mode or fear of loss.
Never content always anxious.
It wants to be a bigger stronger "me" then it will feel safe, of course enough is never enough. It may relax for a short while savoring a major or minor triumph an inquisition then the cycle repeats. Back to needing, wanting or fear of loss.
People are so driven to get no matter what.
Ambition is healthy, obsession is something else.
Being driven leads to "The end justifies the means"
Heaven help any one that stands in the way of the ego getting what it wants.
So there!!!
Thats my thought for today.
Love
