Hello Eirik,
Nice sentiment. I think I know what you’re getting at here. Although I would not the it as “making the ego god” but rather, realising there is no ego, no individual self that is separate from the world. And then, from there, you are not god itself, but in and of God.
In Zen Buddhism they are not trying to get rid of ego, but simply dropping all of their ideas and opinions of themselves which ultimately lets you see the truth, that there is no ego except a collection of stories you have created. There’s no need to try hard to create new stories to say “I am god” but just see the world as it is…and you will dissolve naturally into everything that’s already here.
Love you post. I hope this helps.
I wrote a new article on here that is similar to this.
think you misunderstand here. im trying to explain this concept to the people, im trying to get you to understand that the ego is the character you play, and its supposed to be there, supposed to be nurtured. you are supposed to commit to the role.
its not before you have truly detached from the body, that you can see that the point is to stay in character. you are only this character. and it as all you will be this life. if you truly detach, the character becomes pointless, and wont move. you are supposed to be the ego, you are not supposed to be the soul. if you want to be the soul, you have to make the character able to logically explain why it has theese powers. you are playing a game, and the goal is not to stop playing. make the character make sens. want it to have super power? make that make sens. the ego must know why it can do what it does. it must have a reason. it must be helped to get there.
i am worried about you. you did not even try to defend you point. you meet resistance, and just unsubbed, without even trying to defend you point. from your perspective, its your jobb to help me if you deem that i am wrong here. why should anyone listen to you. if you wont even stand by your arguments to a stranger on steemit
