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

Good morning.
"Hell is the other" thats a famous quote,
Why is it important to transcend the ego?

Every dispute from the minor at home or work.
Every major personal or world wide fall out is down to ego.
My needs wants or desires first.
I will do whatever it takes to get my way.
I know best/
I am right -- you are wrong.
No negotiation unless!!!!!
No compromise.
Whenever a position is taken up it creates the opposite point of view.

All of these are down to the ego wanting its own way.
Me and the enemy out there.
Them an us.
All duality.

We cant have the ego and peace and harmony.
Its that simple.
It is just not possible.
So yes transcending the ego is that important.

if this has caught you attention please go back to page one and work your way through.
There are a lot of very good contributions.

When the ego is transcended what is left, Why you are.
Free from bondage. The need to be right. many other things sort thems elves out.

You sre still a unique individual.
Look at a great orchestra. Many instruments, many musicians, beautiful harmonies.
exciting moving performance. One composer.
When all are aligned with the composer the Creator then we have harmony, we have single-mindedness, common purpose. yet we can have different orchestras throughout the world playing the same melody and it is unique, yet the harmony is there. Musicians can go from one orchestra to another and the music is subtle changed yet the melody remains.

Who wants peace and harmony? Not the ego. Not really. It wants excitement. This moment is boring I want the next whats new!!!! Where is it?

The ego is is transcended by being in the "NOW"
By reading Eckhart Tolle. Dr David Hawkins, those who are in an egoless state.

With Love
Chris
