Am I alone in my view of the dark?

[Huntress]

I think imbalances can result in many difficulties affecting the mental body. Ego is a sure source of potential imbalance. I'd say the sabotage/learning definitely could result in mental aberrations if the imbalance is of great enough magnitude or duration to produce that.

Thankfully, the ways we teach ourselves evolve into less painful, traumatizing experiences. Sabotaging becomes more civilized, and evolves into a more harmonious way of learning. Ego begins to be transcended when it is viewed as a "transient coping mechanism gone haywire". We realize we do not need to learn using those haywire mechanism, & we utilize new, more harmonious options to navigate existance.

The breakdown of mental, physical, spiritual, &/or emotional bodies experienced before coming to that point can be terrifying & miserable. Sabotage by the ego is a basic, primitive way of learning. Extremely useful & obviously necessary, yet I'm so grateful there is opportunity to travel beyond such limiting, limited methods.
