Then tell me this.......
Is ego the curse word of the Internet?
Whilst trying to say that ego is basically the real 'us'.......many people pick up on this word and say that ego is wrong.
That we have to shun the ego to become spiritually attuned to God?
I say no.
That by saying ego is wrong, is denouncing the real 'you' and making the person something that they are not.
For example, we are told to love everyone. How the heck do we love people that we have no feelings for? (okay I am moving away from the subject).
Or perhaps not allowed to judge? We all judge, whether it be our wife or our job.
Let us face it......we all try and look proud and smart to create good impression. So why is it wromg in the eyes of the spiritualist to accept ourselves?
Providing that we do no harm to others, we cannot pretend we are something that we are not, no matter how we try.
