ego

[PeaceFrog]

yours (and mine) are (is) useless if we really want what is best for us ALL

of course, if you get off on oppressing others, well then, keep on clinging to yours

as for me, I appreciate when others remind me to quit clinging to mine

[JBetty]

Anything else?

[Joker]

[TEO]

Once you experience moments of the greater consciousness you realize how insignificant your ego is, which blows it apart.

vagina?

[Joker]

vagina?

You always were a sweet talker

[PeaceFrog]

leggo me ego

oh yeah, and your mom

I really had an enlightening experience today but I don't feel like sharing it yet

[TakeAStepBack]

Did you fall, hit your head and have the realization that being it is empty, no harm no foul?

[PeaceFrog]

you got is sistah

[TEO]

Play nice!

[PeaceFrog]

I like it!

[PeaceFrog]

we all got an ego

I have moments of sublimation and I think we all do to varying degrees, and maybe that's what makes us different.

In fact, I don't even like calling it sublimation... but that's really what it is.

it just isn't what it sounds like

[PeaceFrog]

it's more of a nothingness but I can't say I learned it on my own

everything I know was taught to me by the universe

[TEO]

We each have legions of egos.

[PeaceFrog]

huh... legions even... it's worse than I thought

[PeaceFrog]

just thought that was funny...

but you're right. I believe I do have legions of egos and from my observation it seems that everyone might.

[TEO]

Way worse than most of us think until we start working on dissolving them and see how never ending they seem.

[PeaceFrog]

anyway this nothingness I'm talking about is where I just don't care

and I like it, and my organism feels better when it's in that state

and I guess that I just don't know

[PeaceFrog]

they are never ending for sure

[TEO]

Nothingness as in where at peace?

[PeaceFrog]

even peace is a judgment

nothingness as in that... blank

[PeaceFrog]

there are no words

it's what's between these two arrows ><

but even less than that.

(that's wrong, too, it could be more)

[TEO]

Beyond thought, where there is no thought. Where this is no I. Where nothingness is everything.

[PeaceFrog]

I think you got it, but it's only fleeting... for both of us

[TEO]

YES Wish I could live in that bliss of nothingness.

[PeaceFrog]

I don't think anything physical can get done in that state...

that's the nature of duality (in my opinion)

a constant shifting of spiritual to physical

and what you resist persists.

[TEO]

Perhaps not. Wonder how long a moment can last?

[PeaceFrog]

Perhaps not. Wonder how long a moment can last?

how many moments are in a second? ( that's not the answer, it's just a factor needed to come up with the answer)

[PeaceFrog]

I gotta go to bed soon, so I'll give you my answer.

There's an infinite amount of moments in a second

that's why a moment of enlightenment is way better than none.

[PeaceFrog]

the thing that I just now realized is if that moment can last an infinite amount of time, then you would be able to control the physical plane in ways unimaginable... like in the matrix

I am with you.

[capt_morgan]

wheres the line between ego and confidence?

[TEO]

You mean arrogance and confidence?

[capt_morgan]

im not sure if thats what i meant.....but i lost the thought already

[PeaceFrog]

actually, I didn't know the answer but now I think I do and TEO helped me figure it out

confidence is similar to experience, and doesn't necessarily have an ego attached

arrogance doesn't necessarily require experience and is clinging desperately to an ego

[PeaceFrog]

"Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know where.

Here I Am"

go on, name that tune

[PeaceFrog]

I think it all comes down to whether a person thinks they are more important than anyone else.

Some people think they are the most important person in the world.

I would have to agree that each individual is the most important person in their own world, but in the whole grand scheme of things there isn't one of us that is more important than a mosquito.

I know that's an odd statement... it's so true that that it's not even funny.

mosquitoes suck.

anyway, as always, it's all relative

relativity is pretty much the law of the universe.

[TEO]

Still with you.

[PeaceFrog]

[TEO]

The feeling or action of separateness can cause many problems and sufferings.

[PeaceFrog]

we're all made of the same stuff and share the same space.

we breathe the same air.

but still, some think of themselves as "us" and everyone else as "them"

the only cure for this situation I consider a disease is through the spread of information
