Human beings have had egos since the dawn of man. Today, with social media and online personas, now we have digital egos too. Our psyche is split in two, we live for the “gram” and we crave Likes and Follows. In my book, Digital Ego, I explore the nature of these newfound digital egos, what effect they are having on us, and how we can break free from the screens so we can live more fully, more authentically, and with more meaning and joy. Now available on Amazon at a.co/d/gom5sPG

I am pleased to say I don’t think I have a digital ego. I stay off of social media and use my phone for very limited things. When I am on screen for even a few minutes, I feel the pull and I put the phone down. I am trying to be more fully present in the moment, and have gotten in touch with my observing self. I enjoy watching some of your videos with my 8 year old nephew who has autism, and he makes some of the cutest comments. 😊 Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I can’t wait to be done with my 9 month intensive therapy program so that I can sell my possessions, and use my passport to travel the world!

I liked the puppy and learning how to ride the bike analogies. When I simply observe the thoughts or watch the thoughts I relax. How easy it is for the bike to wobble all over the place and sometimes I fall off and it hurts. Simply being here and now, is heaven on earth. When my mind is quiet, I have no problems, issues, stressors, complaints, wants, or even needs. I am practising staying on the bike and peddling through my days.

I knew if I gave up my ego, there was only love left. I couldn't fully give it up. In this experience, I realized everything had a purpose and it was perfect no matter what it was and it didn't need me to understand it, it just was.

@simka321 Жыл бұрын
Ego is a great servant, but a bad master. That's why I like the way your limned the ego as a kind of pet to be tamed, rather than a wild beast to be hunted and killed. So, now that we agree that the ego cannot (and should not) be destroyed, what to do? I submit that, given all the misery, horror, and tragedy in the world today - all due to egoism and its discontents, we should not kill the ego but transform it. And the most promising direction in which that transformation can go is from ego to emeis - that is, from "I" to "We." The obviation of egoism, and the mass conversion of the personal ideology of identification from egoism to altruism, can only eventuate in a threefold win-win-win for humanity, for when the centripetal appetitive energies of my personal identity are de-centered from my little mortal body to our collective Superbody - the body of humanity at large - this will result in three boons: 1. "I" will no longer feel personal suffering about what happens to this tiny piece of flesh, but in experiencing the suffering of all in and as my Superbody, "I" will be more motivated to act for the sake of all 8 billion of us - only for the sake of the common good: "All for one and one for all." 2. There will be a radical decrease in the consumption of natural resources, which have heretofore been driven by egoistic desires and personal appetites with no consideration of the externalities of overconsumption on the other living beings on the planet. Prodigal consumerism and senseless waste, being the heart of the current world metacrisis will decline, if not vanish altogether. Wars and all other expressions of violence will disappear, because "I" am now everybody, our Superbody, and not just some terrified little "me" protecting his fleshed-encased vortex of endless appetites, his reputation, his bank account and nationality, and his personal property, seeking desperately to feed itself, protect itself, reproduce itself before death snuffs it out. 3. In acting for the Supebody rather than my mortal body, I will finally have achieved the age-old desideratum of immortality. Our Superbody will be nothing more than me myself, and "I" will have gained a source of a virtually infinite joy, love, and pleasure far exceeding any that "I" could have experienced as an isolated ego limited to the skin and five senses of this body, which is slated for the grave. The concentrated bliss and happiness of the whole human race will be equivalent to my bliss and happiness, multiplied 8 billion times over. When my personal identity is obviated, transferring who "I" am and what "I" identity with, moving its location from this pathetic mortal coil to the Superbody of humanity at large, after the necessary death of an ego that has always associated itself with this fallible flesh, "I" will be resurrected into a New Vessel: the All-Human Superbody. Those who have been initiated into this new universal religion of Universal Superhuman Altruism, will take the first step into their new life as repentance: forsaking their former idolatry of personal ego, and stepping into the light of altruism - meaning compassion, care, and the love of all, meaning that the health and happiness of Humanity becomes my ultimate concern. After having totally committed my personal identity to Humanity as whole, I will take on a new personal pronoun, replacing "ego" with "emeis" - that is, "I" with "We." This new pronoun will represent the renewed mind of the Sacred Human and our Holy SuperHumanity, who has died to the flesh, buried the ego, and then been resurrected as the deathless Emeis. This resurrection is Humanity's only hope
