EGO: BELIEF SYSTEM CREATOR?
Do our egos create new belief systems or at least modify existing belief systems?

Is not our own egos just a belief? How did the ego come to exist? Where does it exist? Who or what created the ego?

No, our imaginations do.

Yes, and the ego of others also created the belief systems that we are trying to modify  |

Not exactly.
The imagination creates all the things that we think about that are not yet here and now as well as 99% of are thinking process in general.
The ego is Latin for I meaning identity/ personality which is created as a tool by the imagination but it is a byproduct of the imagination therefore not the same thing |

Your ego (and mine, and Fred's) is sitting in a small corner of our imagination. It's a tiny light in the planet's human imagination and one teeny-weeny twinkle of the universe's imagination.

When we're thinking about "ego" are we talking about the actual definition of it? Or ego as something else? Just want to make sure because sometimes words change definition.

Ego gets such bad press here. Without one an entity has no identity. They'd have no public face.
When you speak of ego and imagination remember that they exist only because of the sum total of your life experiences (and if you so believe, past lives) and how you assimilated them, much of the action stored well away from the "conscious mind" if you use Freud's model of mind.
Bibo ergo sum. |
