A Healthy Ego
man becomes ego-bound
enclosed in his own limited mental consciousness.
Then he can't feel any more
or love, or rejoice or even grieve any more,
he is ego-bound,
pot-bound
in the pot of his own conceit
and he can only slowly die.”~D. H. Lawrence
A lot of people think that a big ego is a healthy ego. An ego like Donald trump or Charlie Sheen. The ego of a person who can do no wrong (in his own opinion) so never has to change, never has to grow. But in truth, none of us is perfect, none of us is complete, none of us is ready for heaven because, if we were, we would be there. So don't worship or idolize those who have to make two trips to carry there over sized ego through the door. And most important of all: don't become like them. Ego is not an enemy that needs to be destroyed, but he also cannot be allowed to run things. The soul has to be in charge and the ego the servant of the soul. That is the true healthy ego. But, in order for that to happen, you have to take the necessary steps to awaken your soul with the help of a real spiritual school.
