The ego what is it? How to transcend?

[greybeard]

The only thing that can feel "Im hurt" is the ego
The only thing that can feel outrage--indignation--
How could they do that to me?
You promised you shouldn't have,
You should have is----
Is guess what?
To be revealed after the commercial.

Bye for NOW
Going to have a cup of tea.

Good morning.
Well I awoke alive so its another good day begining.
Its a good day because I decided to have one.
Every night before I go to sleep I have a look at the days events and see what I can be grateful for.
Isent it strange that the more grateful I become the more I have to be grateful for.
My cup runeth over.
Im up before my ego surfaces, if im lucky it wont catch up with me.

So far so good.
Relax be happy.

With love
Chris

Friends

I have joined Avalon2 for I feel that transcending the ego is an important subject.
I believe it is possible for a thread to be transfered there.
Many have contributed to this thread and thousands have read it
The postings already made are too beneficial to be lost, our very future may depend on enough people evolving spiritually to make a difference.

True spiritual evolution comes through letting go of the old material things and welcoming that which is of real lasting value into our lives,

Jesus taught that earthly transient things were of no lasting value, your spiritual vibration is not only of value to you personally but of great help in raising up others as you transcend the ego.

If we are to believe prominent spiritual teachers, then we are heading for some rapid change, evolution of consciousness and scientific evidence seems to confirm that at least there are profound energy changes gong on in our universe.
I believe that is very important that we, as best we individually can, prepare spiritually for these possible changes by at least taming the ego.

Why????
Because the possible birth pains associated with this metamorphosis could create a lot of fear in those unprepared.
Fear is inherent in the structure of the ego.
The more faith and trust we have in a loving Creator the less we will be negatively affected by any change.

When we are calm we have a very beneficial effect on others.
When faith is strong the higher mind clicks in and sound rational decisions come easily and in some cases instantly.

Syncronicity ocurs, you just find yourself in the right place at the right time.

A story.
I was in the shopping mall yesterday and got in the lift to go up one level, the doors closed, a moment later the doors opened I got out, that was quick I thought.
No it was the same floor, I decided I would just walk to the elevator as I did I bumped into friend I hadn't seen in fifteen years. We had a very enjoyable meeting and some tings of importance to both of us were shared. .
Obviously it was meant to happen.

This may be nearing the end of posting here so any contributions will be much appreciated.
Thanks to all who have contributed already.

With Love
Chris

I am so glad you will carry on with this, Chris. There are many great reminders, and it is such a rich thread. Nothing is more important than our spiritual evolution.

Love,

Spiritual growth is always happening whether or not we are aware of it.

As I become more and more aware of myself as eternal consciousness,
I become more peaceful and at ease with all that happens in my life.

Physical reality reflects this peace back to me.

Thank you Chris for sharing your stories with us.

Thanks Susan.
"Yir not half bad ur self"
Thats Scottish for your great.
We seem to be a race that is very good at knocking the ego out of others and understatement.

Typical statements

He is no better than he should be.
I will turn your gas down to a peep.
Does your Mother know you are out?
I will wipe that smile off your face.
He's getting above himself.


Anyway Susan my friend.
Lang may yir lum reek.

Several translations.
Long may there be smoke in your chimney and fire in your hearth.
May you have a long life filled with warmth and energy.

With Love

Everyone has bench marks in their life.
Some of the other threads here trigger memory of my Aha moments.

The Power of Now was massive for me as said already in earlier posts.
Eckhart Tolles's concepts of "Pain body" and "Now" really got to me.

My ego didn't like it one bit.

Next was Power vs Force, one statement that really hit me in the book is.

" Human beings are incapable of telling truth from false hood"

That is a real shocker.
Could it be true?
My ego struggled and shouted all the way through the book.
(if the ego is struggling you are getting it.)

Me so rationale etc how could I possibly be wrong in my assumptions.

Well the book goes on in great detail which I wont even attempt to go into.

However look at it this way if you will.

Every war has been fought on false premises.

The people of Germany for example were fed lie after lie.
Who could blame them, they fell for it, and for the Fatherland ordinary people went out and killed and were killed.

Gobels said "If you tell a lie often enough people will believe it."
Thats what happened. Millions died to serve the desires of a few megalomaniacs led by Hitler.

That is why transcending the ego is so important.
Keep the ego going and we will have more of the same, its inevitable.

With respect for all points of view.

With love
Chris

In spite of my best intentions I posted rather more today than usual.

If you my friend Michael of the 14 read this.
You will understand when I say.
God made me do it.

Love and good night
Off for a sleep I deserve it.

Seems we are the only two up in the world
Peaceful isent it.

Used to love when I played in a band coming home to Inverness three in the morning, so still so quiet. I owned the world at that moment.

Off back to bed.

[truthseekerdan]

How do you like PA2 so far, looks kind of unfamiliar to me.

Yeah, I think you should relax some more. Take care my friend.

Its early days yet Dan, not many there.
Here there are so many posting that there is always something going on that inspires comment. Not easy to get inspired over there yet as it all tip toe agreeable.
No doubt that will change soon enough.
Bye for now.

[greybeard]

what a day its been
Ego here ego there I let it out to play again.
If I dident laugh I would cry.
So many people hurting inside.
It will pass, all down to the energy of the moment I feel.
This too will pass.

Chris

[greybeard]

I can see why quite a few people lurk.
I may well go back to it.
There is not really much more that can be said about the ego, love it surrender it up to the tender mercies of God and leave the rest to Him.
Love
Ch

[truthseekerdan]

Sorry if this one has been posted before.

[greybeard]

Hi Friends
I have bumped this to the front again.
Ive nor added anything.

Reason.
There are an amazing amount of good posts on the thred, many at the front.
Overcoming transcending the ego is crucial at this time.
If we had there would not have been the fiction seen on this forum recently.
Only the ego promotes fear, only the ego enjoys strife.

This tread may disolve into the ether when Avalon becomes Av2.
So please read from page one, take your time revisit.
Please Please Please
Chris

More on the ego
The Heisenberg Principal is, that which is observed by consciousness is changed.
Only observation is necessary, an awareness that is beyond thought holds the power.
Its a very complex subject which Hawkins goes into in some depth.
The kinesology technique that backs up Dr Hawkins subjective experience connects to the field of consciousness in which every event though and deed since time began is recorded. Using the test there is a yes or non yes response to a statement. Basically anything that does not exist, is not supportive of life, is an illusion, causes the muscle to go weak and everything that is true/ life supporting causes the muscle to be strong.
For various reasons only about 15% of the populous can use this test with accuracy.
Now the ego
The thought that I am a me is very powerful because we are infatuated with the me story.
Anything that comes and goes is not Truth. Ultimate Truth is unchanging. Truth cant change.
Thoughts have a wave form but they are not us. till we identify with the thought as mine.
Eckhart Tolle says Descartes had it backwards. "I AM THEREFORE I THINK" is more correct.
Its very complex unless you are very precise in the context of a statement.
What is true from one view point, at one level of understanding is not true at another.
Ultimate truth is only God is.
Then its a step down principal.
Very top is Ultimate God who is pure love and does nothing.
Next is God of creation who is busy moment by moment.
There are the Angels
There are the Avatars
There are the enlightened
Then there is the human race in various levels of vibration from Saints - unconditional love,
all the way down to the
serial child killer.
All these have there personal vibration, an energy field.
So the ego seems very powerful because we believe it to be so, only the power of God can remove that illusion.
Namaste.
Chris
