@abrakamowse I'm not an expert but my assumption is some concepts can help trancend ego.

@Anton_Pierre Isn't discussing  concepts survival of the ego?

Not in the sense that we need concepts to understand ego, survival etc  and strategies to transcend them in the first place.

There is no transcendence without CONCEPTION. In that sense, concepts are the vital initial part of the process.

But like everything in life, too much of a good thing ends up backfiring. Same deal with concepts. See what I mean?

@Nahm I really like creation too (ha ha - baby part, so true). I can't think of anything else.... except maybe the willingness to die (not in the suicide sense, but ways like: complete openness to physical death at the end of life, or openness to ego death at any point)

@Epiphany_Inspired Nice!  Two sides of a coin perhaps. Who’d ever guess it’d already been flipped once? ?

Writing a poem about survival is not survival.

Totally agree. But in my vision, they are closer to truth, but nevertheless they are not truth still.

But I am not trying to show I am right, just pointing to what is my understanding. In the end, is all concepts, even my opinion is not true hehehe...

 

But it is true that we have to use concepts to transcend concepts, as Alan Watts said, is like biting our own teeth.
