Developing a social memory complex

[Anders]

Ra said that it's misleading to talk about the ego, something like that. Eckhart Tolle talks about the ego, but he also calls it the false sense of self in this video. That's the same thing I believe as this answer from Ra:

"Questioner: Could I say, then, that implicit in the process of becoming adept is the possible partial polarization towards service to self because simply the adept becomes disassociated with many of his kind or like in the particular density which he inhabits?

Ra: I am Ra. This is likely to occur. The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves or service to others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one." - Law of One 80.11

The beast stream is fueled by the false sense of self. It's the "fallen" state of humanity as it says in the Bible, and Jesus talked about the need for denying oneself. All of that is exactly the same thing! Even the word sin means missing the mark, meaning being trapped in the false sense of self. And it's valid to describe it as the ego if one is careful about the definition. What Ra was pointing out I believe is the problem that the term "ego" can mean so many different things.
