In short, what I refer to as my
ego is all the learned traits and preconceived ideas I've adopted along my life that I operate by.
Some beneficial and some not beneficial.
Again in short.The
sneaky ego part in me is when I identify with self to much and turn it into selfishness and separateness.
Which was my survival tools I formulated in my upbringing through abuse and violence and alcoholism which was my surroundings
from birth to age 20.So from age 20 to present (57) it has been a decoupling of these self-centered tendencies that I rooted myself in in my formative years.
So these things sneak in from time to time like a default setting.
I hope I have provided enough information for you to get a general idea of my use of the words ego and sneaky ego.
These are pretty big topics, so I am trying to be thorough enough but brief.
Have a Great day, Inavalan
Peace
