This is an excellent lesson. We've know the answer for over two thousand years, "It's our egos stupid!" We should probably teach this and basic meditation and mindfulness in our high schools, but egotistical people won't allow it... It's the Catch-22 of being afraid to actually address our fears.
Along with constantly moving the goal post, the ego keeps one in a constant state of "becoming", instaead of "being". For, we are human beings and not human becomings.
@@lasvegasotis6780 It’s all a pretty interesting dream innit? What is any of it without what we’ve named it? What’s a human being, a dog, a cat, a banana without the name? It would be what physics proves it is which is nothing and nothing at all. 😂🤣 None of this even exists as anything but what we call atoms appearing as the universe. We are dreamers being dreamt within a dream. Merrily, merrily merrily, merrily life is but a dream 🥸😋
@Itwasrealbutnotfun you could say it's a dream ( as a concession), or is it that the world we experience appears to us as the world when and because it is viewed through the lens of our finite minds ? Seriously. Can you tell me 1 thing about the world, or your experience of the world outside of your 5 senses ?
@@lasvegasotis6780 fair question. I can say nothing about it without the senses. Even the state called turiya is witnessed and or experienced. As far as I can tell so far, I can say nothing on my own. “This the father that doeth the works.” Ie no doer Every voice, every action is done by THAT, whatever that is. All voices are the 1 speaker. Buddha noted “ deeds are done and actions are taken, but there is no individual doer thereof.” Similarly to “tis the father that doeth the works”
There’s struggles you’re kidding yourself if there isn’t. Yes you can become completely detached and at peace with it all. Becoming so detached is good at first because you can learn to love. Also yes if you live in a cave in the Himalayas you realize nothing matters and it’s all a big joke. That anything that is seen as bad can be good and anything seen as good can be bad. That’s good to start with, then you are being reborn. New like a baby. Now you can see the beauty in it all. When I say you I mean you as an individual. When you become detached you then have to reintegrate yourself because where is compassion if everything is just a joke? Don’t be a stone Buddha it’s still a fear of living.
@@jackroberts416 that's because you're only looking at it just so you could have a reply, you should always consider the present moment, I dissolved my ego at least I think I did from my own research according to my experience, how can I say I have struggles today when I know life is filled with ups and downs, isn't it now pointless having that over dramatic discussions about struggles when all is one to me, LIFE. There is no struggle, at least I choose to know this, if you choose to recognize it and discuss it with friends it's entirely up to you, after all how can you live if you don't make a choice right.
Just marinating in the existential dread. I have been purposely built to both realize how small and insignificant I am and always will be in this cosmos, while also knowing there isn't a damned thing to be done to alter that fact.
That's only true if you see yourself as separate from the universe. However, that's not true. You were birthed from the universe and are, in fact, very much part of the universe in every way. Even the idea of significance is man made... who decides what matters? Without a human brain to place importance on things, the concept of significance doesn't even exist. We are not insignificant, nor are we significant. We just ARE. and that's all you need to be. Have fun and enjoy life, and be a good person. When you have fun, a part of the universe is having fun. And the cosmos smiles upon you.

Amazing. Thank goodness after reading so many books on esoteric and occult wisdom, I still have my ego and I still time travel. The power of now was an amazing book. Thank goodness it did not eradicate my ego. Mindfulness bringing our attention to the present moment can be achieved, not just by sitting down in a quiet place and focusing on your breathing, mindfulness can also be achieved when attacking somebody's fist with your face. Pain is absolutely magnificent in focusing the mind on the vibrant and wonderful now. Being vulnerable means being strong no matter how many times people laugh at your pain. People who spat in your face when you ask for help, mercy and kindness, even if it's not for you, even if it is just for your child. You're right; a person should be open to all experiences and not judge. That way we can avoid using our intelligence and traveling in time so we can experience more pain on a regular basis and the wonderful vibrant now. Bad, bad ego. There are many places where people have let go of their ego and are no longer living under the illusions of the ego. Those places are mental institutions, asylums and perhaps a couple of monasteries or temples. If you're struggling getting rid of your ego I suggest going to a mental institution. They have chemicals that will help you get rid of your ego, no problem; and when your ego rises again they will give you another dose to keep you ego free and in the wonderful present moment forever. Cheers. The meek shall inherit the earth and the poor shall have riches in heaven. The more people believe that, the better off some people will be.
There is no secret to set you free. It takes being disciplined in every moment to vanquish your racing mind in every moment. And to be free of thinking and rest in pure awareness in every moment. You only do this by doing this. You can't find a switch to turn it on. You have to hold that switch on every single moment. So it boils down to discipline. Thinking there is a secret formula or some sort of realization that will do the work for you is naive and childish. You have to do the work yourself in every single moment. There is no other way. Enlightenment is being free of mind. And only YOU can do this and you can only do this in every single moment of your life. If you do this you are enlightened. If you don't you are not. There is no formula other than being disciplined in every moment to be free of mind and rest in your true identity as simple awareness.

I don't know, I think what's holding me back is my limited knowledge, to explain by allegory, it's like wanting to go living alone in some deep dark forest, but not having a clue on how I would survive. I know I could learn survival skills, but that's not what I'm intimating at here, the point I'm making is that I'm unprepared for the unknown, I'm alone in my search and when someone sets off on a journey they've never had experience of before, they don't have the relevant skills to deal with what's ahead, it can only be through hard road experience that you may eventually attain what you need, but here's the snag, I've been hard roading it for over 40 years now and I've reached 70 years of age and I'm tired, I'm so tired of the lone journey!
Breaking free from the ego’s grip is the key to unlocking true peace, and this video masterfully uncovers the subtle yet powerful ways the ego traps us in illusions. At Unmasking the Shadow, we often explore themes of inner transformation and self-awareness, and this message resonates deeply with our audience’s quest for authenticity and freedom. The concept of the ego manipulating emotions and creating false control struck a profound chord.

Thank you for shedding light on such a transformative topic-it’s a guide many of us have been searching for."*
how can something that doesnt exist take over something existing?? .. either both exists or neither of them and even that awareness you think you are is also one egos mask...
The ego thrives on division, which is an illusion. The current humanity is full of it: countries, racaesm, status, caste, religions, politics, power, etc.
This predatory world will eat you alive if you show empathy and vulnerability. There's a reason why an ego exists in this system, to protect the self. Completely ignoring the needs of the ego is as detrimental as going to the other extreme and pampering it and letting it run your life.
what goes around comes around. love and compassion doesnt mean non confrontation. When love and compassion acts it has its own intelligence. There is always complete action without any bitterness because there is no attachment. This has nothing to do with sentimentality or romanticism. Its action always looks up for the other. Even during a difficult situation it can say no without any bitterness or hatred. The Ego it doesnt act but rather react. Its actions are fragmentary creates more division. It will take its Moral high ground especially when it may be logically right and will destroy the other person for being wrong.
Is this not a paradox when you say observe the Ego?? Who is observing ego if ego has already occupied the whole of you! Ego is an essential part that is natural for the transactional world! The more you try to kill it, more bites you back with vengeance. It is better if you start with a definition of ego from your standpoint! Ego dissolves into the Self as you recognize your own Reality and no need to go through this acrobatics!
I can't tell if I've finally dissolved my ego, after years of working toward that, or if I've just given up and that's why my burdens seem lighter. I've been through a lot, which makes the descernment between the two that much harder to discern. 🤷♀️
I like the clear and well-paced diction of the narrator as she explains the various aspects of the ego. What I don't like at all are the annoying, distracting black flashes that move like crazy all over the visuals. They make me feel quite dizzy!
Soo… do you pick the commercials? Or does TH-cam? 😂 (no answer here is right btw, if you want to help people, do it. But don’t monetize it!!) sell merchandise! Anything but give these pricks another cent. Just throws a damper on the entire message, which I did enjoy. ✌️
...the need to control others with violence is the ego. By the way, when you call someone else 'stupid,' you are responding from your ego. The spirit has no need to control or degrade others.
This is an excellent lesson. We've know the answer for over two thousand years, "It's our egos stupid!" We should probably teach this and basic meditation and mindfulness in our high schools, but egotistical people won't allow it... It's the Catch-22 of being afraid to actually address our fears.

What’s a human being? That’s a mental construct.

@Itwasrealbutnotfun yes it's so smart that it naned itself and it naned everything else in existence also !

If you truly dissolve the Ego, you won't need to share your struggles with anyone, because there will be no struggle to begin with
You? Anyone? Duality still?
If somebody asks about your struggles and you don't share because you are "egoless," that sounds pretty egotistical.
How can something that was never there be dissolved?
