Self = Wanter

[James12345]

Try to stop wanting for a week. For instance, if you love weekends and hate working, stop that want, make it as working has no differences than being off. Do this on everything that you want for a week. See the results. What does the ego will do?

Why would one want to do this?

And by ego do you mean being egotistical or having an individual self? Best wishes

Because, this is the path. root of ego is wanting one from another. Reason of separation is the ego. Not 2, all is 1. 

Best wishes to you too?

try to stop everything including thought process for a few moments try to sit still and just be, now try to find the ego! try as hard as you can, if you do this with intensity you'll realize that no matter how hard you try you just can't! ego is not an entity! ego is the consequence when the light of awareness (you) is not there.

so ego won't do anything since it doesn't really exist!

Hi. You are right. However, what I mentioned is completely dissolving the ego. Not for a second. Of course if you can do that you can never find the so called ego, every moment,  i am happy for you. ?

I was trying to mention, love the working as the weekends. Imo, trying to stop is much difficult but loving every situation is must easier. Thats what worked on me.

Money and life are seen as good, and cancer and death are seen as bad for that which believes its alive.

When suffering and bliss are seen as equal where can a problem arise and manifest.

when there is no difference between good and bad, and it is seen that anything is equal to something else, and neither means anything, the doors of perception open, to the extent that preference disappears. They were closed by preference, necessary to survive

????? i was just trying to say, whatever you hate try to love it the most. For everything, try to love and respect everything like as you, and see what will your ego do? The neighbor you hate, work, your families misbehavior against you, being sick, going to hospital, feeling pain, someone who is trying manipulate you, waking up in the mornings vsvs. ??

The freedom that's being pointed to here does not have stipulations or should and should nots.

It's literally being okay with not liking someone, or a job or a religion exc....

It's not like a denial saying everything is actually just great while your house is burning down and your sisters getting raped.

And it's most certainly not becoming a meditating pacifist letting people walk all over you and such.

Its like an underlying peace of being with the situation(because that's what's happening) weather that shows up as anger, frustration, confusion, happiness or sadness and then adjusting to the apparent predicament as needed without creating a big drawn-out personalized story about what should or should not have happened.(Eckhart Tolle actually has a lot of good information in this area).

And it's not that there's anything wrong with creating a long drawn-out personalized story.... it's recognizing the one creating this personalized story isn't real.

If you love everyone as you. They wont walkover you, sooner or later your calmness, smoothness and kindness will effect them. Not liking can never change anyone, but love does changes it brother. Love everything, you will be free. No more judgments ❤️☺️

Well the individual attempting to be free is an illusion. Freedom is the unconditional love for everything exactly the way it is which includes the judgments, the happiness, the fear, the confusion, the anger, the bliss..... Freedom is that free completely all inclusive. 

It's so close it seems hidden which is why Tony Parsons describes it as the Open Secret. ❤
