Does anyone read this blog or is this just my ego's airing space? ;-)
I still don't know what ego is, and I don't like the word. To elaborate and put it a little more academically, which I sometimes dislike, I don't like the way that the term ego has become, to my own vision, imbued with a negative energy, originating, perhaps from various traditions.
But it's all part of our emotional clearing! We are still learning and progressing and this energy can be healed and cleared :-)
I think and have thought a lot recently that our ego is nice. It's just our inner voice :-)
'Ego is a Latin word meaning "I", cognate with the Greek "Εγώ (Ego)" meaning "I"' (Wiki)
So perhaps this is one of those words whose meaning has become altered, perhaps even misconstrued over time.
So if so, why do some spiritual teachers dislike 'I'?
Do they dislike an aspect of themselves, labelling that disliked aspect 'Ego'? Pushing it down instead of loving and understanding it?
I think if we all listened to the voice of our naughty, arrogant, attention seeking, pleasure seeking or questioning (or whatever!) ego then we would all be truly whole.
If you like this article, please say so. I need constant praise :-D
