Wanna hear some fake spiritual shit? Ego is the enemy.
No, I’m not going after that author or referencing his work. I’m going after the faker-fraud enlightened course sellers who tell you your ego needs dying.
You ever ask yourself why you have one in the first place? You need an ego, it’s what makes you an individual— duh, dummy.
Ego isn’t the enemy, UNCHECKED ego is.
Most of us are fulfilled when we’re in our ego, but in a healthy state, not maniacal. Without it, you’re depressed, withdrawn, melancholy suffering artist vibes– if you read self help blogs regularly you know what I’m talking about.
Where we fly off the handle and into Ye West territory is when we stop feeding the mind or soul.
You ARE your mind, but you play as your ego.
And it’s supposed to be EXACTLY that.
That’s the life fulfillment combination key.
Example: your interests, things you don’t present that only those really close to you know about you, that all comes from mind. To become who you are and uncover your path in life, you need to explore your own mind.
Be curious, let yourself be led by it.
Explore yourself.
Ego comes into play AFTER, by using the mind, using what’s been fed.
I study human behavior, but if I just sat down behind the scenes and all I did was study, I’d be depressed and pathetic. My ego likes attention, it likes being bold, loud, center stage. Rather than call that bad– because some idiot charlatan told me so, I take everything my mind is and present it through my ego.
I step on stage, I throw myself out there— but I support the character I play with the information I choose to feed it.
Your task is the same.
Answer this: When am I most alive?
That’s ego.
What are my interests?
That’s mind.
Combine the two, and you have YOUR life. A fulfilling one.
