Okay, I was asked yesterday via private message by "A" on the Rabid Monk Facebook page
( www.facebook.com/therabidmonk) the other day to address "Ego".
Well I can do so, but I will have to have people search for the lesson in my never ending (sort of) parables.
Here was part of the question : " I am of the belief that so many "enlightened love and lighters" love to project any behavior as ego when clearly there is a difference. It all feels so hypocritical yet how can this concept be articulated?"
The Rabid Monk's Reply:
Ego is a word on a chalk board.
It can serve a purpose that involves pride in the self and a sense of place. What it can also do however, is trap someone in a sense of being "all that". The chalk board that can be written on is "all that" not the word written in chalk on the board.
The chalk board holds the data and the information written on it can only continue to replay the specific energy over and over again. Ego is not Lust or Desire…it is Ego. Ego is not pleasure or pain, Happy or Sad….it is a word called Ego.
It serves a purpose, it is not the purpose.
So what plays the larger roll?
The board or in this case ( the specific word in question) , the Ego?
Neither do, the eraser does.
