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.
