		<description>Lol na I think she is right u guys just are afraid of yourselves...get over it and accept yourself whole heartedly. This article trumps every new age ego dissolving thing I&#039;ve read. Matter of fact placing myself into the realm of these teachings actually was killing me and destroying me from the inside out. This article actually helped raised my consciousness. I know I should&#039;ve stayed away from the comments section...I just don&#039;t understand how you could even try to dissasociate yourself from apart of yourself when its all good and there for a reason. I appreciate this article</description>

		<description>You don&#039;t really understand the ego and it&#039;s effect. Your arguments seem to prove the need for the ego, but that is because the ego is the realm you are working in. Your comment &quot;Tolle doesn&#039;t hold as defense in these parts&quot; proves your lack of understanding. The reason they don&#039;t is because you don&#039;t understand them. Continue to focus on the present. Someday you will get it.</description>

		<description>We are born the way we are with physical appearance, mind, ego and inner higher self. So let it all be like it is and have fun with it and let it help and guide us. we should concentrate on giving our children the best possible start in life by showing them love and respect that comes from our heart and not damaged egos and therefore we need to learn how to love ourselves first that includes all there is to us, body mind ego etc.</description>

		<description>Hi dave,

I think that while it&#039;s good for individuals to feel a sense of love and respect for others, it&#039;s not possible to turn that love and respect into action in the &quot;real world&quot; (rather than have it just be a feeling) without having a sense of boundaries (and ego).  Loving means you care about someone (or nature), and you demonstrate that by *giving* them your time, energy, kindness, attention, etc. But your gifts and &quot;yes&quot; mean nothing if there is no withholding or &quot;no&quot; to define them. If you give away all your resources to everyone/thing, then you can&#039;t really give away by choice, and it&#039;s no longer the choice to love, but a dysfunctional habit (because you can&#039;t keep it up without burning out). One of the reasons that the free-love movement of the 60s didn&#039;t catch on  is because in order to live in society (which means, survive at all, since we&#039;re a social species), you have to have boundaries. Yet, at the same time, which is what I think you were getting at, it is important to understand that boundaries aren&#039;t always set in stone.</description>

		<description>hi Melissa , what do u think about the 60s revolution where psychedelic plants or substances were used in order to kill the ego, in order to appreciate the human existence and feel obliged to love , respect and explore nature. many great discoveries were made on these substances that altered brain chemistry . that seems pretty healthy and positive for the human race.  &quot;lsd causes psychotic behavior in those who have not taken it&quot;  -timothy leary,</description>

		<description>Listen with the heart and not only with the mind.
The sad reality about humanity on planet Earth today, I&#039;m sorry that I will say the truth, is that they see themselves in a wrong way. In the first case, we are not man. We have the appearance of man, but we are not man yet, because authentic man has all the powers and faculties. Authentic man exists when they
eliminate all the egos. That&#039;s authentic man. That m an who is screaming, who is being macho, etc., is the most feared by people. He looks like a man, but he is not a man. If he were really a man, he would be going inside to really eliminate his egos.
 
If they are very valiant, they can go to the superior dimension, to the Fifth dimension, mental world, where the egos appear to have big, big bodies. They can fight with the golden sword like Mikhail. For the many masters, the authentic war is not on the outside, like in the Vietnam war. Anybody can be a big hero in a war like the Falkland Islands, or in Chile, or we can name the First World War, or Second. Those are most fearful people, but the true warriors are not fighting a battle on the outside. It is inside. So, the first war in the esoteric for the great masters is in the astral world, in the astral plane, to eliminate day by day one of their own egos in the astral plane.Of course, the path to get out from this mechanicity is the three steps. The First Step is the elimination of the ego. The Second is the transmutation of the sexual energy. The Third is to share the wisdom of the Father with the love of the Mother to humanity. So this is the Three Steps, the keys, the center. The
religion of the cosmic universal culture is simply practicing these three factors of the revolution of consciousness.
 
We have to die not to die, not to live like the dead. Like those dead we have seen. They have finished themselves in war, because their death, the ego, made them. At their end they were following their egos and their Karma collectively. They had to fight. So this is the death. The crystal skull says &quot;Give death  to the dead, not to live as dead.&quot; This is very esoteric and if we know the mystical death this is what . . . Of course, we have to kill the ego with love. We have to bring the egos to the Temple of the Heart and only with the love of the Mother can they die. This is very important to understand, and not to get complicated about. People who get to know their egos, then don&#039;t like their egos. One ego then wants to eliminate another ego, but it doesn&#039;t work like this, because it gets complicated. It is always done with love, because love is the great medicine to heal all the negativity. That is the only way. No other ways. If somebody is coming to beat me up, of course, I have to defend myself, yes, but without getting angry. But all that is a great mystery to explain, and to live, and to practice. I cannot tell you in two or three or more words.
Disciples of white magic, of the Great White Brotherhood, we always respect the dark side too, because they also have their mission. We don&#039;t judge. We don&#039;t condemn. They are also good for castigating humanity, because if there is no dark, there is no light. If we will know only the light side, if there was
no negativity, if it were never necessary to come back to the temple of the Father/Mother, there would be no mastery, and we would get stuck in the same level. The existence of the negative entities is necessary always. It was always existing from the beginning of life, and it will always exist. In our spiritual path
there will always be the opposition of the light. When we become more light, there also from time to time will come the test. By the law of the opposition, the tests, the presence of the dark always exists. All the way to the exodus they will follow us, the dark side. But like in the old times, the white magic, the light side gets into in the Fourth Dimension, and the dark follows, they too want to get into the Fourth Dimension, but they have no protection and are eaten. They sink. I think you know about the story of the exodus. They is also much witchcraft that exists in the Fourth Dimension dark side. They have their retreat there also, but in the dark side.
To be born with the physical body of a man is more Karma, while to be born with the physical body of a woman is more Dharma, because the
woman is more similar to the soul. The soul is the God of every one of us. We are connected to the soul in the sixth dimension.</description>

		<description>“Woe is being human, trapped in the black hole to lust and desire!” 
Short story: Ego. Ego, ego, ego, ego. EGOOOOOO... Lust, desire, and mission impossible to achieve happiness in the future. Power of now, will make you get in touch with your &quot;core&quot;, and you will be compelte. You still can achieve and search for things, but this time you don&#039;t do it cause of fear, or the lust for hapiness nor salvation. You do it out of being &quot;you&quot;. 

&quot;Yet, no amount of meditation or now-power can get rid of them entirely, eh?&quot;
Damn right. To contact the power of now, you must first realise that &quot;now&quot; is everything we ever got. We are the &quot;now&quot;. Time is an illusion. Second of, accept everything as it is - the universe, other people, and EVERYTHING in you. 
It&#039;s obivius, that if you got rid of your mind, thoughts, and emotions, power of now wouldnt be that precius and worth having at all. The art, is simply to not identify yourself with all of these stuff - thoughts, emotions, pain. Yet, you got to face it. It&#039;s all trapped life energy, that have eaten their own hosts alive.

When i say ego, i mean your fake image of yourself, not your mind. It&#039;s the little voice in your head, that is affected of outer conditions. Lust and desire is the fuel, and hapiness is the goal.  The ego is like a filter to your mind. A husband might see getting a child as a bad idea, because the ego is giving him some reasons based on patterns and exp from the past, but the wife thinks its a great idea cause her ego tells her it will save their marriage in the future... 

I&#039;ve seen your website. It&#039;s kinda big work done here... With danger og sound lame, I&#039;ll problably wont be able to talk you in to this. Just read my stuff, and if you sencirley can relate to this - im talking about looking for hope in the future, identify yourself from stuff done in the past, being addicted to outer conditions, you might give it a try. 
Btw, notice this: The mind, not the ego, has 4 ways to go. The past, the future, judging yourself (credits, punishment), judging others. Funny thing, eh?</description>

		<description>Tolle doesn&#039;t hold as defense in these parts. ;)

&quot;Woe is being human, trapped in the black hole to lust and desire!&quot; 

That&#039;s the crusade calling. It&#039;s what people complain about, how they scapegoat the ego and fragment themselves, because they can&#039;t make peace within. 

Or rather, they don&#039;t really want to try. Because those pesky negative emotions -- since they&#039;re not &quot;creativity&quot; or &quot;love&quot; or those other human experiences supposedly &quot;beyond&quot; thoughts and emotions -- they&#039;re so not worthy. (Translation: I&#039;ll make them the enemy because then I&#039;ll never have to face them, or what&#039;s worse... admit that they are part of me!)

Yet, no amount of meditation or now-power can get rid of them entirely, eh? Otherwise, you wouldn&#039;t be so compelled to correct me. Under friendly &quot;debate&quot; of course, but really just you talking at me, after a compliment, of sorts.</description>

(Translation: I&#8217;ll make them the enemy because then I&#8217;ll never have to face them, or what&#8217;s worse&#8230; admit that they are part of me!)</p>
<p>Yet, no amount of meditation or now-power can get rid of them entirely, eh? Otherwise, you wouldn&#8217;t be so compelled to correct me. Under friendly &#8220;debate&#8221; of course, but really just you talking at me, after a compliment, of sorts.</p>
