Comments on: Kill Your Ego- Recognize The True You http://www.wethechange.com/kill-your-ego-recognize-the-true-you/ Exploring How Self-Improvement Plays a Role in Global Consciousness Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:55:10 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jason of Eternity http://www.wethechange.com/kill-your-ego-recognize-the-true-you/#comment-272948 Jason of Eternity Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:55:10 +0000 http://www.wethechange.com/kill-your-ego-recognize-the-true-you/#comment-272948 I just wanted to say thank you for your insight and understanding. I am at a point in my life where I too have seen the ego for what it is, and have learned to actively observe it's chatter until I become silent. It is not easy though, you really do have to be a warrior to no limit as the ego never really seems to completely 'quit' per se. Once you drop your guard and get lost in the 'game' it comes back as if it never left in the first place. Never give up though, this is the key. As we all fight our battle we weaken it's force blow by blow, refusing to feed the enemy with our Anger, our Sadness, our Pain. God bless you all, and may The Eternal Light of The Silent Void Shine Forever upon Your Face. Blessed Be. I just wanted to say thank you for your insight and understanding.

I distinctly remember my childhood present state of mind. My memories of that time in my life remain vividly intact. I remember how little the impact of my external enviroment had on me. I was free. I remember having peaceful clarity about the passage of time and the many exchanges both healthy and unhealthy that was carried with it. I was free because I didn't belong to any conclusions. I was transient, with rhymatic momentum building. I was nestled in the bossom of the river "Child", but not for long. My ego was seemingly undeveloped and in hot pursuit of me. Little did I know it would soon catch up to me and begin it's assimiltion of my true self. My unequipt, uninformed, ignorant true self would soon be in a very damaging fight for it's life and would later, for many years to come, be layed up in a bed of recovery pinned up against the wall created by the evolving and highly adaptable ego. Meanwhile as I was plotting my way back to health, my ego capitolized on this and gained much ground. My true self was only working at partial capacity, which was a great disadvantage towards any hope of my return. This went on for many years and I continued to stuggled against the confines my own personal and seemingly complex abyss that held many deceptive constructs established by my egos infuence. I fought for the real me with all my might only to recently and finally learn that it is only futile to do so, for it is the energy of battle that this ego is fueled by. I am making progress in my, over twentyfive year bed ridden fight for life and that is because I am in the acceptance phase. My ego is part of my human experience and always will be and only when I incorporate the nessary complete acceptance of this reality will I be able to return to the present where I have truly always been. I started writing this because I was inspired by your Blog Todd, so thank you. I will say in closing that I am gateful for people like yourself and others that have replied here. I realize, maybe for the first time in my life that I need to meditate in the beauty of the present and make use of vividity of my childhood simplicity. A time in my life when my mortality didn't hold me hostage. Life without borders or crippling fears. Fear is always worse than what we are afraid of. Here is a copy and paste of the above mentioned George burns piece that you wrote in you blog....I loved it so much that I am going to run with it! "On Sunday night during the Oscars, they showed a short clip of 100 year old George Burns in which he said “when you get to be old enough, you get to be you again”. What George meant is that with age comes perspective, and towards the end of our physical lives the ego comes to accept its demise. The ‘becoming you again’ is a reference to becoming aware of the authentic self, and you will find many older people speak like this". Thanks again Thanks to Todd and everyone who has posted here!

The essence lies in being ever conscious behind the thought... conscious that we are not the thought but awareness behind. Thank your Tedd , Keep it up...

It gives an excellent account how the ego operates and illustrates some of the ways it controls us. Strongly recommend watching it.
