Seen from the absolute ground within us, from its lack of self-awareness, and the original knowledge and insight that emerges from it, the ego as a reference to it is about self-deception. About its ability to distort our mental actions through the person it has invented as a version of the content of consciousness to which it has limited itself. Beyond that, and from the pure ground from which they originate, several similar personalities manifest that have nothing to do with the ego, or with the person who acts as its substitute. But which have the same formless mental appearance as it has, which manifest the original connection to the knowledge and insight that emerges from this absolute ground within us. Since they originate in it, they assist and guide us away from the normal functioning of the ego and its relationship to its representative personality and the conflicts it presents us with in their encounter with our meditative reality. Which means that we are also characterized by the ongoing deal we have with how we meet our indulgence in relation to the guidance we receive beyond the ego, from the expansion of consciousness that it entails, and from the experience of being overwhelmed by it and the defenses we destructively stage our fear of this with. Something that habitually happens all the time in the world around us. It’s not something we’re just exposed to from our surroundings. It’s something we’re constantly passing on from within ourselves. We just hand over what we by indulgence ignore in ourselves, and see our own mental activity through others, for them to act out in our place. The world is not the problem. We are. For this reason, I can assume that the characters that are formed from this original absolute ground of being, in all its various guises, like our dieties and spiritual beings, are not arbitrarily scattered around us. That they arose without context and for unfounded imaginative reasons. They have acquired their properties and forms as our mental content causes our consciousness to expand from the help and insights we receive from them in their relationship to the clarity that arises through them from the absolute ground within us. It is about mental health and development. About maturity. As this content seeps into our consciousness without overwhelming us and making us destructive, or insensitive and hostile to its relativisation of our ego, since this makes us coming into conflict with ourselves and with this mental content in others.
