More about ego

- Ego causes most of the problems we face in dealing with others.
- There were no real answers or solutions on the conscious level of the mind.
- There are as many ways to view the world as there are persons in it. The point of perspective is not how you view it but from where you view it.

- The ego that the mind creates in order to give it a means to confront the onslaught of the outside world. A world that it feels threatened by. Certainly, fear has its place in the dissolution of relationships, just as it does in most of our activities.

- The ego interprets the information presented to it by the senses and cognetively assesses them and through the mind, produces thought. These thoughts are then transformed, by the ego, into emotions. Emotions are the body’s response to thoughts. Our emotions arise out of these thoughts.

- Realized Time in case of Ego: The past no longer exists except as bits of memory and the future is not here and is only an image in our mind of what might be. The only time that really exists is the present moment.
