EGO/KEYSTONE

Ego/KE

Through the years, I have had a few people tell me they could not see how understanding the ego can bring about a transformation. I hear such statements as, “So I see how the ego evolved and I understand it, yet no transformation. I can’t see how this helps.”

If all you have done is acquire more information, this time about the ego, then all you have done is created another image to be stored with all previous images. From that you think you understand; you do not.

What is needed is to realize the fact to its core; to have real insight into the nature of ego. To do this, one will need to step away from what has been said by anyone else on the subject and find out for your selves just what the ego is. Anything less than that is to just go on playing the game of being a seeker, but never really finding any truth.

If you have truly seen the ego for what it is, you will see and feel an opening into a new and powerful state of being. The ego is like the keystone holding an arch together. And all the stones forming the arch are like the self-images, concepts, habits, insecurities and fear that have made up, and perpetuated by the ego dream. Remove that keystone, have real insight into the nature of ego, and you will see nothing of the arch can stand. It will all fall down into the rubble of nothingness.

The ego is just a dream, and nothing in itself. Yet it has caused so many of our problems and will continue until we destroy ourselves, and the environment. The Environment is real, as real as anything you will ever experience and a sane society would do all to protect it. The only way to really protect it is to bring everyone to see that they are the Environment. The only way to do that is to bring them to see what the ego is and through that seeing destroy the dream that has separated us from ourselves.

If by merely coming to an intellectual comprehension of the cause of ego, you will not see that transformation. It takes direct insight at the heart, mind and gut level to bring about any meaningful change.

When that keystone/ego was removed for this one, it came with a crash. There had been many false starts where it seemed that everything was understood, but one stayed blind to the ego at the depth needed for transformation. In a sense, I was not even there when it took place. The body was asleep but upon awakening in the morning the crash had occurred already. The mind can go on probing and understanding even while the body sleeps.

Although one understood the ego to be false and all the dreams supported by that dream had fallen into the nothingness they were, it was still about two years later that the full understanding of the nature of ego came to light. Awakening is awakening, but there can still be things to clear up.

I feel sorry for those who come to a hiccup awakening were they experience and think that is the end of it. And it is sad for the rest of the beings on this planet when one comes so close to awakening and the ability to help share that insight to just stay lost in such a shallow level. By doing so they keep the ego standing.

There is too much spirituality keeping people blind. One can have a spiritual experience and still remain blinded by the structure of their path. They are the Ones who are truly Awake, in their minds only.
