Re: Enlightenment: The Ego, what is it? How to transcend it.
There is nothing sacred about the use of words or definitions. We can use or define words how we like for our own purposes, provided we do so in a clear fashion. We know that words are far from complete when trying to relate what we think, especially when we are trying to express something unique, original or formless. The true power of words is not in their literal meaning but in the qualities or intentions that they conceal from our view. We use words because even in their shallowness, they can be a turning point to cause a person to look deeper within their being.
If a belief were true, it would be true even if no one believed it. Beliefs are agreements about reality, which in turn form the structure and parameters that envelop the world we choose to live in. The world we choose to live in is self-created and protects us from the essential uncertainties and paradoxes of existence. When we are fully aware of the present, we have access to all that is real.
Much Love
