The Essence of Ego

I had a dream today.

 

In my dream, I could now see how I unconsciously behaved, manifesting answers and solutions which then appeared into the part of the dream plot.

 

If we live in an un-embodied dream space, the so called heavens where you can manifest whatever you want, that's how you can get lost in a never awakening dream. Eternally chasing after a white rabbit until your time is over in that space.

 

So this world, created upon rules of cause and effect, is a training ground where we learn to manage our consciousness.

 

But funny thing is, while we are dealing with the concept of a self, the universe has a more clearly evidential trait that even our concept of "Self" is made up of components of movements, gathered together into a larger ego based collective.

 

When we set out in order to achieve something, we are fighting within ourselves to gain collective agreement and alignment within this collective to execute the win. If that happens, then the collective becomes functional, as a process, and goes on to evidence it's influence in the world.

 

Thus the more successful people are influential. For somehow, inherent in our makings, the conscious drive towards a harmony within ourselves makes us curious about how to achieve such a state of equilibrium.

 

I came across this:

 

“A brain is useful only up until the point when you are faced with your enemy. Then it is useless. The only truly useful thing in this cursed world is will. You must suffuse your worthless body with its terrible heat. You must be so hot that even if your enemy should strike your head off, you shall continue to decapitate ten more men. Your boiling blood must spring forth from your neck and mutilate the survivors!”

-Meti’s sword manual

 

"Effort within the mind further limits the mind because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind"

Bruce Lee

 

Yet the mind is a creation of the collective will to survive, which is based upon a space of nothingness. The "Silence" which is more Vast than the universe. It cannot unmake itself, which is a function of why it is created in the first place. Just like how we are not able to understand the impetuous of our creation, which some may call "God".

 

Yet, what is the mechanics in which everything that happens, and yet not happen, if the ego is based upon and derived by oppositing such forces as the vacuum of nothingness, on which surface every dance of creation is held.

 

Just what is Wind?
