Causal Aspect of the Ego - (1008)

Introduction

Each ego is a bottle that traps essence, and inside the essence is will. The trapped essence has will, however that will is trapped or conditioned. It is in fact conditioned to make happen the manifestation of the ego, it is the force of the ego to acquire, to provoke, to desire, to achieve, to crystallise what it is that the ego wants. It is in fact the desire of the ego, that is, the trapped will is the desire of the ego.

Originates from the Causal

The causal aspect of the ego or the will of the ego comes from the essence, and in particular that part of the essence that is aligned with the world of will or causes.

It is really the first thing that manifests, it is really the will or the desire that manifests and comes down into the mind. The mind’s role is always to organise the desire or the will that filters down into it.

Force from the Causal

The will of the ego is no more than a force. An ego is strong because it still has a strong will. It is that the will of each ego that leads the person to act and to decide. That strong force of the ego descends from the will within the trapped essence.

It is the strength of the ego or the amount of trapped will that sets up the strong desire in us and makes the ego manifest strongly. The ego would be nothing if we could take away its will.
