What is the EGO?

[Heart]

'ego nullus diutius terror'

some interesting things about ego.

ego.. here w-ego again.... in other words ego is constantly on the move, to still the mind first still ego through observation and as if you were looking at it from a distance or outside the box, all you will do is laugh at its antics to trick you

I listened to a talk last night that compared the ego to a 'stealth bomber', in that it cannot always be picked up on the inner radar.

It was also compared to a mosquito. You think you have it between your palms and then when you open them - it is no longer there. It is 'out there'! Ready to get you again!!

Ego the great houdini the master of disguise.
God bless us all and protect us from its machinations.

'ego nullus diutius terror' (in brackets for googling)
Latin for... 'I no longer fear'.
Its a strange coincidence that the English letter I is associated with the word ego in Latin !!!
Its also alarming to see the word terror in the same sentence as ego.
Could this be ego terror.
It Sends shivers down my spine


A dying ego

My thoughts...
An uncharted mind is controled by the ego through fear and is always in constant battle for recognition or identiy of self, it uses the mind as a creative tool to create a world of illusion based on the fear of the unkown... your real identity, which is the first real death. There are many other livable deaths such as desire, anger, lust, and most other recognised sins that humans are capable of that come and go with the wims of the egotic mind. It is easy for me to write down, but the ego never realy dies, just as one goes from one situation in life to another, where all posible exists are blocked, there is only one way to go... straight through your worst fears... a dying ego. You still live, but with a new perspective on life and one that is liberating. Just before the ego 'dies' there is a darkness, total fear, complete hoplessness, unbelivable lonleyness, just imagine the worst case of depression and that wont come close to it. You then end up giving in to everything and allowing every aspect of your 'ego itentity' to disolve. I can only describe the after effect as a silence, a stillness, an emptyness. a nothingness, peace and tranquility and above all a sence of endless compassion and love that can not be denied or held. Words cant give it credit realy but I am 100% sure of the experience.

Welcome to the spiritual death that Jesus spoke of: "At first you will be disturbed, then you will be amazed, and then you will reign over all."

You met the "Nothing". No you, no God, no anything within you. You will need guidance from no one now. You are free of yourself, and as for the ego, you see it for what it is not.
I have found that "I" am but the "Awareness" of this "moment" of "Now". You will find that is Heaven.
