Venture under Maharajji’s blanket as Jeff Crawford of the giant rock podcast and I discuss the ego, the start of 2021 with the “insurrection” at the capitol by trumper Nazi clowns, the collective awakening, how we aren’t who we think we are and of course relate it to our spiritual awakening. New production value added as a surprise, regular listeners will notice it.
“Well, let’s first just define the term a little bit. The term ego is a structure of mind that organizes the universe particularly around the relationship to separateness. It’s in the domain of separateness. It is the steering mechanism for you as a separate entity. There are two mechanisms going on inside you, you could equate them to the head and the heart at one level, although that’s a little shoddy. At the level of the intellect, or the conceptual structures of mind, there it is a mechanism, it’s a steering mechanism for keeping you as a separate entity surviving and functioning within the universe, within this world, on this plane.
Then there’s the other part of you. The Atman, the Jivatman, the heart, the intuitive wisdom, whatever that is, that merges, that goes out and balances and flows, and gives away everything and doesn’t care, it’s like the lilies in the field, the unconditional lover. And there’s a tension between those two things.”
