26th Weekly Thought :

Ego and Self

If we take a little time and look at these people and compare them with those who have failed up to now, the, the difference is very clear ... they found a power greater than theirselves ... something greater than the ego. And many of them call it God. (We will not make the mistake to describe this power, we only accept that it is existing ... and that these people have came in contact with this Higher Power).

When we look at what controls us, we find that there are three types: Most people are controlled by money, opinion leaders, society, a religious or other worldview community. And we all know this tendency!!!! - Our life is then nothing but the fluttering of a leaf in the wind! We are then dead although we are alive.

A second - smaller - group allows itself to be controlled by its ego - are therefore egoists or egocentrics. They let themselves be controlled by what they have experienced and "learned" in the past and what they want to do differently/better. We all know this too! But our life is then nothing but a negative, a reversal of what happened in the past and what controls us! Our control is then through feelings, emotions and thoughts; this is the real addiction of life! And dangerous like all addictions!!! We may then seem to be "successful" - but in the end we fail in any case!

A third - still very small - group, however, follows their Inner Self. We all know this too - at least from time to time. A hunch emerges in us, a sudden insight, intuition combined with a clarity that is otherwise alien to us. If we follow it, then this clarity increases; our own vision emerges and from it our path, which we simply need to follow voluntarily!

And slowly, step by step, we notice that we are now - thank God - on the path of a better life in a better world! And that we are not alone, but that some people have already found this path since time immemorial and are still walking it today!
