The ego is the center which produces images of itself, it builds up a perception of itself that masks the weaknesses. It fragments over and over, it only can learn what it already knows. It’s origin is fear of reflection. It is highly superficial, mostly concerned with accumulation, greed and attachments, which is the tool of accumulation of ideas. It functions to propagate itself as a part of its greed to occupy the space as much as possible in the psyche and externally. It plays a victim to mask the fact that if it gets hurt the intricate world created in the mind will shatter. The ego repeats emotions, it also attaches emotions to its ideas so when questioned will get angry or cry, kind of the same thing. The Ego is never truthful, truth destroys the ego. To solve the ego all one has to do is see it for what it is. It has caught itself in a web so much that it’s lack of reflection renders it incapable of seeing itself as the true state it is in. There is no True ego, that is another term created by the ego to not see itself as false. The ego is divisive. Intellect is discernment, the ego tries to imitate intellect so it falsely represents the truth. Sounds about like everyone knows this person right?
Can we live a life free of the ego? Yes! Is every time we look in the mirror a sign of the ego, no! the ego can also be someone that can't stand to look at themselves too.
Ego, the friend we all shared at some point more or less
All the highest,
Mr. Everything
