RE: Apathy for Truth, the Path of the 'Dead'
I believe that ignorance of truth is to protect ones ego. If we weren’t laced with heightened egos we’d naturally become more truthful. Thank you for this post.
The ego, like much, is dual, and has positives and negatives. Protecting ourselves is the default automated unconscious unthinking way of operating. We can overcome some limitations by evolving consciousness to be more aware of ourselves and how we function.
I do agree, could you clarify, as this is how I understand it: by protecting ourselves we are putting limitations on how we function?
We need to protect ourselves form many things. Don't walk off a cliff. Being an individual allows us to differentiate ourselves from other things. Ego-I-Self is necessary for survival. It's not all limiting.
Beautifully summed up, thank you :)
