Is 'Ego' Good or Bad?

You have the answer within your own 'inner voice. Is ego good or bad? If you can change the way you look at things the things you at change. Seeing with new eyes.

 

Ego—I’m not giving up, I say!

Well, what I mean is ‘never give up on you!’ That’s when Ego is doing something good for us!

That’s right! After a day like these last two days- of feeling, in a place of LOVE (which is always a good thing) my inner being was telling me today, that something about- That thing about ego- in the past post, just didn't feel right and I felt I had to do some more research.

But sometimes this research has to be done with our own ‘inner voice.’…The intuitive part of ourselves that has all the answers.

Something to think about today...:-)

Is 'Ego' Good or Bad

Who's right, who's wrong?

Abraham Hicks, Eckhard Tolle, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra...And the list goes on and on.

Is there a right or wrong answer? Or is it, we need to take all of it into consideration, and come up with what our own 'inner voice' feels is the best answer for us?....Hummm

“Sometimes the best answer to a question is another question. Is it not by asking questions that we stimulate each other to reach more deeply into our own source and, thereby, approach the Source, both together and in our different ways? (7)”
― Jean-Yves Leloup, Compassion and Meditation: The Spiritual Dynamic between Buddhism and Christianity

"The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.”
― Eckhart Tolle

“The ego relies on the familiar. It is reluctant to experience the unknown, which is they very essence of life.”
― Deepak Chopra, The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore

“Great people have great egos; maybe that's what makes them great.”
― Paul Arden Michael Allen Pearson

 So....How about, we just decide for ouselves, once we look at it--Seeing with new eyes? :-)

Is there really any disagreement here? Or could they all be saying the same thing in a different way? One. might be talking about an aspect of the 'problem' and then the other seems to be speaking about seeing no problem- no darkeness in oursleves. Being at peace-in agreement with all parts of ourself.

Maybe using a combination of all of this -along with the fact that we are our best teachers, could be the perfect answer?
