so in my study of the ego i have learned much. I have learned that to tell you everything i want to tell you would be a waste of time because at some point your ego would reject something i say. Why does it do this? The ego is very structured. It has things a certain way and if anything threatens that then it feels like it is being attacked. The ego (depending on the person of course) controls all. Once it feels a threat it can easily stop the ears from listening or the eyes from reading, or any number of infinite actions.
How can you get over your ego? Its really not too hard, at least in my honest opinion. You simply have to begin to be more open minded. You have to begin to realize when you are shutting out an opinion of someone else's. When you do ask yourself why you are not allowing this experience to happen.
Well back to my study of it. I just want to cure it but I know I must learn so much more before this is possible. Lots of people who read this would wonder why I say be more open minded. The more control your ego has, the less your soul has. Its a battle between the two. It is constant and always will be. You should want your soul to win.
I have found that the lives that people have led so greatly determine their ego that I always want to find out about someone's past when i met them. I can always tell when someone was born in California or not. I can always tell when someone was born in New York or New Jersey or Philly. Even the ones who talk like cali peeps. Its their ego that you see. they all have the same patterns. Big city or small towns also bring out different traits of egos that are easily identifiable. Probably this is common knowledge but it all adds up to the total of the ego.
All the ego is , if you are still reading and have not read my definition of it before is a collection of all your past memories and your future worries and fears. If I were to tell you that if you could get a handle on it you would start to feel your soul in your life more, would you believe me? If you believed me would you even be able to get a handle on it? If you couldn't would you ask for help?
my goals are pretty lofty...
