How should we view the ego? Well that is a worthy question because the ego has been responsible for some of the greatest acts of human kindness, as well as for the greatest crimes against humanity.
How can this be, and what can we do if it is true?
First of all it would benefit you to understand that your ego is a natural part of your survival equipment while you are in physical form. However, just like fear, which serves a function, it has over time become distorted until it is now a dominant source of pain and discontent to the world.
Due to limited knowledge, humanity during its inception came to believe many things about life and creation that were not true.
As each new soul came into physical reality lifetime after lifetime, those erroneous beliefs about life and creation became entrenched into the collective consciousness of humanity, and became the programing about the world that each new soul adopted as their belief system.
Thus error upon error compounded itself and was absorbed by each ego, and ultimately passed onto future generations as ” the way things are”, (and the sins of the father were visited onto the sons, even unto the third and fourth generations).
Each ego then is like a computer program full of errors, running in the background of your life. As a result, today we believe ideas like “it’s okay to kill people in order to get what you desire.” Or another idea such as, “it’s okay to kill people as a means of solving your problems.”
The secret to undoing the potential negative effects of the ego is to change your programming by aligning your beliefs with the truth, instead of what your ego “says” is the truth. They are not the same thing.
