Dear Diary:
remember a few years ago, when I knew firsthand what the Ego. Take long to realize that what I had before me was a degenerate of an emotion, a mutation, called EGO.
In this post, I'll tell you what is ego, how to identify and how to control it!
As always trying to focus it on the side of spirit, the ethereal space that exists in our memory energy, which sometimes leads us to do things unimaginable.
Hence, human relations are so many barriers and fail. Imagine a world without ego. (Comes to my mind a world of colors and super hippie where everyone hugs and flowers fanned hehe), and Ego is that the derived control, the need for power, have, forgetting the SER.
According to Osho, the Ego is a state of unconsciousness Love Supreme We are close to receiving love, and therefore to give love. He thinks that in such cases dominates the mind unstable and phlegmatic temperament, speak our guts for us, apart from the spirit and heart.
spreads like cancer as it is a contagious attitude, which requires the envy, jealousy, loneliness, addiction and many other human conditions that we must release.
Imagine someone insults you stranger, a taxi driver and pita you get into your lane at full speed, your partner makes the decision to go with his friends to accompany you to your family reunion, which your parents refuse a way out, your friend leaves you planted in coffee, your teacher will qualify for 7 and 10 as not to as you deserve .... Causes you anger?, Is your ego speaking.
Your Ego says: How can this person do this to me. In other words, these free of rejection, failure, cancellation and coldness by just being YOU? ... Think about it. What makes you different from others?
We can only make a difference when we learn to leave those negative impulses aside, and start listening to the heart.
Osho says how to deal with this: "So remember that deeper understanding is possible only when you become one with something. Through faith.
How to get to it? Be aware of your intellect, desided-tifícate of mind . Then comes the second: the feeling. Be aware that the feeling is only a part and all your soul lies dead. The whole is not there, so bring the whole to do so. When all is that this is not reneging of intellect or to surrender the feeling. They are there, but now are mired in a different harmony. It is not denied anything. Everything is there, but now under a different scheme. All be involved, are at it, it has become. "
This speaks of an acceptance by the acceptance, not resignation as a self punishment. and Osho continues:" Both the feeling as the intellect, the ego is present. Only with all the ego is absent. So I give you a test: If you are present and do not feel 'I' any, are total. You're sitting here, listening as if you were not "me." The ears are there, listening there, your consciousness is there, but not "me." Then you total. How can you be divided without the self? Without ego, how can be divided? The ego is the division. "
Now
brief active exercises, to clear the Ego:
is something very simple like a vaccine works on the principle of similarity. When coined the famous phrase: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you "is another way of saying," Make yourself what you do to others "
Know that when you get mad, just get angry yourself, is anyone else experiencing physical reactions, mental and emotional live in the moment, so no one else is as concerned as you. The Ego, as you know destroy you, and you are best placed to take that power.
Retire to a quiet place and if you can see yourself in a mirror. Do you see? What's behind that initial excitement? Fear of failure?, Sadness?, Some bad memory? ... Analyze it but do not bother to resolve it thoroughly, so what causes it only identifies the origin of the response.
Then bring to mind a peaceful and secluded beach. Picture yourself sitting on the sand with your bare feet on the shore where you can feel the sea foam. Remember that perfect fantasy makes you feel comfortable with the climate and water temperature. Recreate the expansion paradise reflection and your mind need at the moment.
But most importantly, synchronize your breath with the rhythm of the waves. Dance with them, flowing with them as long as you needed.
When you feel more relaxed, decrees: "My emotions are expressed naturally, love and compassion. My mind healthy, motivated my emotions and my body responds with relaxation and acceptance with who I am today Now, I'm full, I'm alone, I am "Join your atmosphere and returns to you.
In conclusion, I tell you that we are all human and prone to error. Allow yourself to make mistakes, and learn by yourself.
