So, what actually is the ego, anyway? 😕 😁

n ego?

NOTHING! 😁 EVERYTHING! 😁

The ego is just a single grain of sand in the vast Mojave Desert.
The wind carries it away, lost in the dunes.

Think of the ego as just some random wave in the ocean of consciousness. 🙄 😁 🙂

How we see ourselves versus how others perceive us.
If we were all alone in this world, ego wouldn't even exist...

Ego: A three-letter word🙂 🙂 🙂

Now, look, Bears don't really have egos—honestly, most animals don't bother with all that—but our little Honey friend? He definitely has one... and it's a three-letter word!😁

Honey doesn't care about some imaginary, abstract concept. For honey—much like everything else in this life—the engine is driven by the sheer existence of a void that isn't even there.🙂 🙂 🙂

Karen Sanchez19 said:A Bear doesn't give a damn about abstract concepts. For a Bear, just like everything else, the sheer existence of this vast, empty cosmos is enough to keep things moving.🙂 🙂 🙂

Look, just like any other animal, a Bear is driven by basic instincts: finding a mate, getting some sleep, and looking for a fight.😁

Austin Hayes66, where on earth did you find that avatar picture?

I have this nagging suspicion that you and Diego are both lurking here under different names, considering how similar your avatars look.🙂 🙂

Heh heh.

Heh heh.

a, what?! that’s basically like some top-secret Egyptian initiation symbol... but I guess you can take a peek if you really want to. 😁

An egg is basically just a yolk and a white separated. 😁

Yeah... 😁

Dogs basically represent the ego-id, that messy, unrefined part of the human psyche found in pretty much every consciousness development system out there...👍

Translate. ☕

You know, all those symbols... snakes, apples, stuff like that. 😁

By the way, over in India, a jackal is considered an unclean animal—you wouldn't just let one wander into a temple, for instance. 😁

Cats, on the other hand, are actually seen as clean.

(And no, I don't just mean because they're physically clean or dirty.)
