Hurting yourself is not spirituality neither consciousness

[Buck Edwards]

There is no point in hurting onself imagining the universe will gift me. 

Will destroying my ego cause me to hurt myself or completely lose myself? 

I don't see spirituality in this. 

The only spirituality is self love. Your opinion? 

You are hurting the greater consciousness family by hurting yourself. 

Why can't you see that? 

Change comes from change in consciousness. 

I feel like I'm hurting someone unconsciously.

Is this simply my imagination? Am I deluded?

Also how can I punish myself spiritually so that I may learn a lesson?

What kind of spiritual practice will cause me greater alignment with consciousness? 

 

[Buck Edwards]

I imagine that a spiritual yogi/guru should punish and torture me harshly, very very harshly so that I'm disciplined. 

Should I give away my personal authority to a spiritual guru so that they discipline me and punish me and make me more selfless and pure and disciplined? 

Because I have lost self discipline and my morality is skewed. 

I hope to improve.

There is no reason to physically harm yourself or even harm yourself mentally.  But the essence of spirituality is ego death.  Reality is a mental construct, and so is the ego.  So the dissolution of this mental construct is what leads to awakening and what spirituality ultimately is.   It is dangerous.  There is no guarantee you will return.  But it wouldn't be spirituality any other way.  And besides- if you do return, as a mystic, life will be much grander.

I don't subscribe to the concept of ego, because ego means your identity, your ideas about ego become entire new identity. The hell is that! To hell with ego!

Nope, I don't even know what the hell is self-love is. What is it?
