Definition of Ego
Ego is the sum of an equation calculated by your brain that takes on manifesting powers: energy. This constant flow of energy becomes a "personality" - your ego.
Sensory input initiates the never-ending equation, then it is fed with any manner of input, be it authentic, collective thought, biological or spiritual... or. The brain can process anything into ego. There's one of every personality imaginable, somewhere...
How its perceived and how its processed is what determines the source... Sensory input (touch, taste, sight, sound, smell) can be perceived and interpreted by the brain and produce energy and manifest material outcomes. Sensory input can also be perceived and interpreted by the soul, or authentic awareness, and also manifest material outcomes. Energy is energy... The manifestation that mind-energy produces however is simply a facade which one chooses to believe as real - the ego, a created personality which is the sum of all things an individual chooses to believe and accept. (If you believe you are sick, you will be sick. Or if a doctor tells you you are sick then you believe it.) Some people believe they cannot be happy, much less survive, without a job. Other people have more money than they know what to do with and still do not have happiness. Either scenario can manifest someones reality. Some people on the other hand, don't believe anything! They just follow an intuitive sense of well-being and are happy regardless of whether or not they have a job or money. This too creates their reality. This reality produces all kinds of sustenance often with no rhyme or reason to the logical mind. This is an authentic life, not one produced by an ego. All is subjective. Everything is a choice. Cart before the horse, or horse before the cart.... Better??? More??? :))
May I first offer a distinction between "emotions" and "feelings".... Feelings are what you feel - they don't necessarily need to be trapped in box of "labels". Emotions are also "felt" but these are felt physically and mentally. Without physical sensation and mental thought, would you even "experience" emotions? Feelings come from the soul, the universe, from awareness. They are genuine and attached to nothing. They are pure. Emotions arise from thoughts - all that input that fills the brain and creates a personality called ego. The only way ego can high hack a genuine feeling is for you to let it. The way most people let this happen is that they are not paying attention, not willing or even able to distinguish between a feeling and an emotion. Because they believe that "they" are the personality that ego has created... they are not aware. Genuine feelings are high jacked by default! Only an aware, awakened person can "feel" the difference. To live from intuition or to live by logical, programmed thoughts.... Cart before the horse, or horse before the cart... One must choose to follow, to distinguish. One must wake up! Have a Helen Keller moment... Once that happens, its up to them to choose to PAY ATTENTION, all day, every day... This is life, this is freedom, this is love.
What makes up the equation?....authenticity vs collective thought, or could it be biological energy vs spiritual energy, or...???
