I used to study with and listen to Scott Mandelker and he misquoted what Ra said regarding the ego. He says there is no ego. I understood Ra’s words as: the way that you’re using the term ego is improper and understanding cannot come from it.
Yes completely! Our teachers are completely distorted in their total understandings of personality and ego, etc.
I am in the midst of some sort of balancing and nuancing my personality and really taking a closer view of how I feel with others, how they feel with me, why I care, why they care and then the negative aspects of each of the things I just listed. It's more than me wanting to "do the right thing" per se. I have a firm grip on that sort of stuff. I am not a rug that can be walked upon either. I know this too. I posted this because I knew that you all would lend me a view (from my communities perspective) that could perhaps shift my own and I could see things in a more delicate way. And I have. Because of this community, I have understood myself a little more.
