Countering Ego.

Introduction.

Ego is relentless opponent, but can be defeated utterly - that's one of the goals of Buddhism.

Arguably it's one's own ego, but i think that no one exists in separation, that thoughts & feelings can be shared.


Experiences & Insights.

i've experienced 'ego rides' in form of mental ilness symptoms.

Voices in my head insulted me, tried to detract from the Buddhist Way to Liberation & Enlightenment, tried to stall progress, tried to goad to worse deeds.

It felt that i shared thoughts & feelings with other people's egos - who often used it with conscious intent to release anger on me, or to stall my progress so they won't have to worry about me surpassing them too early.

Recent insights offered me to teach me how to counter ego, using Yogin's as well as Monk's methods.

i've accepted offer - to defeat my own ego, as well as other people's egos.

i don't want to involve myself into other people's egos too far, but accepted studying & suffering under them for up to one week as a way of developing counters & lessons for them.

For the worst, exceptional cases - i've accepted studying & suffering for up to one month.

i made a wish that these counters & lessons are Enlightening, beneficial - i don't intend these as a means of revenge.


Wishes.

May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,

May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,

May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,

May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.
