Are people being
offensive or is it that our egos are offended when our egos desires are not
being fed by other people? I am aware myself when I am offended, that it's only
my ego that is being offended, not me as a collective consciousness. If only
people's egos were aware in how small the ego is to our whole self, of course
to make the ego aware of this, the ego is often offended that it's not of the
entire self. "How dare you offend me in this way, I am all that you
are". Not too far off in how the ego in control actually thinks, not that
the ego in control desires to become aware of this of course.
Yes, as you can become
offended by other people's views and actions, your own ego can become offended
by your own views and actions. The ratio between people stating I am offensive
to them when not feeding their egos is nothing compared to my own ego in my
life. Your own ego doesn't desire to be offended so it will only accept what
feeds it, everything else will be judged in accordance to it's offensiveness to
the ego in control. You could feed the ego everything in existence and it would
still desire more, multinationals are a prime example of this. If you gave the
multinationals the whole universe, would not their own controlling egos desire
even more, as of any ego in control?
It's really strange for
people like me; observing a reality primarily created to feed the desires of
the controlling ego, where balance of the ego is shunned or denounced at all
cost. A reality like this isn't strange within itself, for only a controlling
ego can create such a reality as it's natural for a controlling ego to do. What
is strange is observing this reality become self-destructive. You would think
the ego would be self-preserving therefore embrace the balancing of itself to
preserve it's existence but alas, the ego in control feeds on everything until
there is nothing left for the ego to exist in or on.
I have simply lost
count how many people I am supposed to have offended. As soon as people state
or think this, I know they are not truly aware or aware of how defensive their
own ego is to being offended. Yes, not feeding other people's controlling egos
or even your own controlling ego is highly offensive to the ego in control.
This is different compared to ego not in control, which simply means an ego
that accepts being balanced in accordance to it's present environment. How
often does an ego in control create its own environment in opposition to the
present existing environment? How many spiritually aware people these days
desire to do the exact same thing, to simply feed the pleasures of the egos?
People like me don't feed people's egos, this is not what spirituality is
supposed to be about but alas, once again the ego in control changes the
present environment of spirituality to primarily serve the egos desires and
pleasures!!
Think on this, do
spiritual gurus or shamans deliberately go out to become enlightened? Did Jesus
or Buddha purposely leave their current environment to become enlightened? No,
what is purposely exercised is the detachments created by the ego, for example,
desires and abuse. Enlightenment is simply a by-product of releasing yourself
from the controlling ways of the ego; it can be at no time of the egos primary
objective otherwise enlightenment simply won't occur. Yes, a thought of an
enlightening experience is thought of but the main focus isn't on enlightenment
but on releasing yourself from control altogether. Yes, to the ego releasing
yourself from control seems like you are taking more control but in actuality
your not, this is simply an egos perception, nothing more. The pleasure the ego
feels from releasing yourself from control isn't to serve the ego, as the egos
tries to make out, it's simply once again a by-product, in other words part of
the process of detaching ourselves from control. This is exactly like
unconditional love; unconditional love is simply a by-product of becoming aware
and at no time should be abused and used as the primary objective or focus.
This is exactly why the kind of unconditional love that comes from this isn't
true unconditional love, it's simply becomes a desire of the controlling ego to
feel more pleasure no matter what the cost is.
Sorry, if I am not
going to feed my own ego desires, it is unlikely I will serve other people's
egos desires, if the ego in control takes offence to this, so be it. I should
also say, even when people are purposely being offensive and you are offended
by this, it's simply your ego in control that is offended, not you as a whole
or even your ego that is not in control. Try to become aware that your ego is a
very small part of who you are as a whole; this alone should bring some balance
to a controlling ego gone troppo if you are truly aware of this.
This is funny; the pic
is of a cat looking in the mirror only seeing themselves as something grandiose
as a lion. We are all of what is, not what our egos only desire to be
of.
