Definitions of Ego
Here I am going to share every definition of ego I have written from different vantage points to help us understand this word.
Ego: Acting from (selfish) motive as opposed to heartfelt inspiration of the moment. This is why the only true strategy is authenticity and not pursuing a specific goal. That is a remnant of an immature male perception of how to get things done.
Ego vs Interdependence:
I made this decision - Ego
I discovered this decision by participating in my life’s tracks and all life’s participation in mine. - Interdependence
Ego is the absence of self trust and self love inside a human being. A wounded relationship to oneself creates ego.
Ego and Mind:
Ego is the assumption that your thoughts are private. The mind is not a personal computer, but the node of interconnected fiber cables between ALL minds, including non sapien species on earth. (Why telepathy is not woowoo but tapping into a fundamental unified field of consciousness.)
Another example: That the experience of peace is private. “I am protecting my peace”. Whenever we merit our own experience as higher value than the mutual experience, we are in delusion and ego. We are actually in avoidance and not choosing peace. Peace is impossible for one sapien as long as there is the lack of it for any other relating to them.
Ego vs Healthy Self (individuation, Development, maturity)
Ego: I care what others think of me. My worth is tied to how I am perceived.
Healthy Self: I care about what I think of me. My worth is tied to how I choose and how much respect I have for my own choices in the world as I experience and understand it.
