Thank you, CRose:)
Yes, emotions are part of our make up and our rational thought brings with it logic. We need both. The heart and mind must meet. I think that they must balance each other. They should complement each other rather than one overshadowing the other.We are mind and body not separate entities, however, they often act on different planes. When we meditate we meld the two and there is where we find peace and our higher plane of thought. Our mind growth must be open as it is with all things. Ego is not superfluous, nor is it vestigial, instead it serves its purpose to move us forward in a world crowded with billions. We must have some sense of self-preservation.I wonder what a world without egos might be like? People wondering where to go or what to do next...or would we be led by our id lost in pleasure only to be chastised consistently by our superegos? As in all things the balance of all we are is the key to determining who we can become. And if our mind growth is open then we are always becoming. We must reflect upon why we are here and what we can do to make this place and the people in it a bit better for having known us body, mind and soul.

interesting for sure .. he was a brilliant thinker and innovator in many areas .. so much fodder for discussion eh!? its intriguing that meditative states of "no mind" do not necessitate ones demise .. i think therefore i am makes a lot of sense to me on a lot of levels .. but consciousness is the real bugger eh!?

ego and evolution, I guess we all deal with our ego`s
and my take on evolution is that we seem to progress in a circle
as if we we`re chasing our tails, and the thought that we think
what we are might not be to far fetched ,I mean there`s a lot of
teaching on p m a love the mosquito theme and we are all carriers
but they don`t seem to worry about it,just accept life as it is we on the other hand have those ego things lol

I think I'm liking my philosophy a la Descartes, Pryde.

As usual I got the chuckles by the pop ups (especially the Mr Bacon series) - you really looked super professional too. Real interesting discussions of the ego. opened new avenues of thought on that score for me. I look forward to Friday with Pryde now.
Thank you for the RR my friend. :)

Hey we both channeled Yoda this week. Great minds eh (lol) xD

The Old Sounds

We had egos that seemed secondary to our souls. When the morning's shine fell upon us we listened all day to its silent words. It's the old sounds, the wind in the trees, running water, the insects and the very air that surrounded our souls. The very old sounds kept us together.
Today the blather reinforces our egos.

Love your mind!

Regards,
Al
