THE BATTLE IS WITHIN NOT WITHOUT

The battle is not with the world/others, but rather within ourself, with our mind and ego. The ego makes it look like people/things are doing something to us by triggering feelings from our past and pretending they are coming from outside, from the situation in front of us at the moment, but that is seldom true. But the illusion created by the ego tricks us into blaming others, things, etc. So we try and change others, the world which means we never see the true cause of our problems which is our ego. Blaming others alienates us, destroys our relationships and leaves us loveless and alone. The ego can further confuse us by triggering breathing, blood pressure, make us feel bad, etc problems. Which it again pretends is coming from outside us, from people, places, and things. The ego is blatant, insidious, unrelenting and it thinks we and it are safer with it in control of our life. It also needs energy to survive but the only place it can get that energy from it's host-us. But it must get us to judge, guilt, or shame ourselves before it can steal our chi or energy. The ego often drains our energy to stop is from doing something that it thinks is dangerous, under the pretense of protecting us. But the truth is it is actually protecting itself and it will gladly sacrifice our happiness, health, wellbeing, etc. to insure it's survival. It also doesn't realize it dies if we die, but it will sacrifice our health to make sure it survives. So as you can see the ego is not your friend, but it tells you it is constantly and that you can't survive without it. But in fact like most things the ego says, this IS BACKWARDS. Many people don't survive because the egos plan for us is death. Suicide is caused by ego illusions. Many illnesses are caused by the ego. Our inability to do what we want to do like a healthy life, have sex/gay sex, make money, meet new people, take risks is usually caused by ego blocks. But the root source of our problems is being identified with the ego, believing it is us. Being identified with the ego renders it almost invisible and it likes to keep it that way. OUR PRIMARY BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL IS FOR FREEDOM FROM THE EGO. But in order to start this battle you have to realize that you have an ego parasite inside you that is trying to control your life, to run and ruin it. Symptoms that the ego is in control of your life: you have mostly negative thoughts; you judge, shame and guilt yourself often; you resist your life, your mate, your job, your body, your circumstances; you smoke cigarettes; have very little motivation; take a lot of medicine; DON'T ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF LIFE; see life as something that has to be endured; assume suffering is necessary; BELIEVE SOME PART OF YOU IS BAD. Our true self or feeling consciousness: we are born with a true self that has all the information necessary for us to lead a healthy, happy, abundant, loving and satisfying life. But our parasitic ego rewrites our programming and constantly tries to steer us away from our true self and USURP THE POWER for itself. It does things like replace brotherly love and abundance with greed and lack. IT WILL PUT US TO SLEEP OR MAKE US FEEL ATTACKED WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL US WE HAVE AND EGO PARASITE INSIDE US. GIVE US A HEADACHE WHEN WE TRY AND READ A BOOK ABOUT EXPANDING OUR CONSCIOUSNESS AWARENESS. MAKE US RESIST ASKING FOR HELP FROM OTHERS OR RECOGNIZING OUR GUIDES. STOP US FROM MEDITATING.
