Ego

Runaway

Those with the larger egos tend to rise to the top in organizations. Intuitively, these folk will have a better handle on how to ‘create your own reality’. Big ego people don’t understand what is going on any more than others, but they are more willing to act as if they do understand. Given that others are desperate to understand (more), they willingly give self direction over to bigger authority. In time, the acting and personal talent can produce convincing material where indeed that person may add legitimacy to their authority. They may crib material from underlings and others, still they are the ones able to put things in a appealing package.

I associate ego with conditioned mind thinking because ego plays with what is popular. Perhaps this connects with the Eastern spiritual inclination to sublimate or overcome ego elements. Lets say, the conditioned mind creates self referential loops that provide the comfort of beliefs. But they also inhibit ability to see events on their own terms (consciously relating), with fresh eyes, rather than using (unconscious) conditioned responses.

I do not notice many good effects from negating the ego. It finds better places to hide and its output becomes more corrupt as it learns better how to deal in lies. I love my ego, it’s probably pretty big, but my confidence allows self criticism at the same time. No, my strategy is; coax the ego to serve the authentic self, rather than the other way around as is often done in this iteration of society. I work with the ego by doing challenging things that make it clear that I have work to do if goals are to be achieved. To be clear, I do not trust ego as it seems to want to take credit for gifts of the creative impulse, while I consider that connection to the creative impulse happens better when ego steps out of the way. So I go low key because there is still much to learn about being in this world while not being of this world.

Promises of Comfort

We learn through discomfort; comfort makes folks lazy. I love comfort as much as the next person, but comfort without work is hollow. The ‘warmth of collectivism’ dominates and/or kills internal ‘enemies’ while the coldness of rugged individualism dominates and/or kills external enemies. Both can be seen as symptoms of a coercive general mentality, but as long as we do live with this mentality, I prefer the ‘right’ side of things because at least it is more honest about what it is up to. And being less ready to turn over the nation state to the NWO.

I spend my thoughts wondering on how to create wide spread adoption of non-coercive mentality. Capitalism and Communism are kayfabe and opponents for show. This is also why fraud endures. Both ‘sides’ benefit, so they do not actually work much to ferret it out. A show may be made where a few middle managers get taken out, while the facilitators always walk. The two ‘C’s’ are symptoms of our coercive mentality and (one or the other or both) not the cause. No, the primary cause of that, is our split model of reality that cedes power to extremists. (Ask me why, or better yet think on it yourself and see.) It is also not human nature, another avoidance excuse, rather, it is human habit created through our crude understanding of reality. We need to develop our individual selves and we also depend on others to survive and flourish. One without the other is pitiful.

My question though is how do the two ‘sides’ go after each other with such determination, yet at the top at least, they seem to be buddies and working together to run and/or control society. For example, the Heritage Foundation and the Fabian Society.

It’s great when people can rise above their circumstances, but twisted when people impose nasty events on others and call it good.

A wicked thread is being used to weave everything together.
