The Seeds of the Ego - (783)

Purgatory

The seeds of the ego are something quite interesting. For instance when one eliminates the seeds of the ego or fries them in the second mountain, the seven capital egos are still alive (only just) and need to be eliminated.

The seeds of the seven capital egos are fried in the second mountain in a special stage of the second mountain called purgatory.



Particular

The seeds of the ego are particular, meaning they are different for every person. The seeds of the ego are not the ego but they are certain elements which can cause the ego or rather have caused the ego to develop. In the stage of purgatory there are at least 7 seeds that have to be fried.


Store the Potential for Egoic Growth

So in everyone’s case the seeds of the ego have caused the seven capital sins or egos to sprout and grow.

For example with lust the seed of lust could have something to do with being considerate, polite and charitable to people of the opposite sex.


Not the Ego

The seeds of the ego are not the ego, but within them is the potential to create and in time make that start of the ego to develop into the ego.


End (783).
