RE: [Article] Valued Understandings About EGO & Healing Emotional & Psycho-Spiritual Aspects in Relation to Cannabis & Psychedelics such as LSD.

in #psychology8 years ago

You are welcome! The literal meaning of the word 'Ego' is simply 'I' in Latin - The self. It is possible to get stuck living with an IDEA of self and thus to be living a kind of false reality and created false version of self and I understand that it is of value to clear out this false version - which is, I feel, where some of the original ideas about removing ego come from. However, the real ego is a requirement of being an individual and is quite balanced and healthy. Real ego comes from love in actuality.

Well put, just clears up a lot of my thoughts and miss connections with teaching I have view. Much appreciated :)

You are welcome!
