[Joyous]

I just heard podcast on 'nature of reality' and it tells that 'I' am the consciousness itself and all other things are included in it. Seems interesting. But it raised some questions in me and those i like to share,

If reality is so, why improve? You can be a part of consciousness as everyone and let go as it is.. What is the need for improvement or personal development? What is 'personal development' in that context? What to improve? Other than enjoy the consciousness and live. Why improve?

If you describe ‘Improvement’ as the improvement of the entire consciousness itself, and describe personal development as the development of entire consciousness, how can you (or I) know the consciousness needs improvement? Or development?

And Steve tells future is a projection, and does any 'improvement' happen in present? Or it’s the things we do to make a better tomorrow. Isn’t? If future is not there, why goto gym today for personal development?

I think the personal development as a business of ego in the basic. Steve, can you show some light into this? Please describe about the ego and its role in personal development.
