Function of the Ego is to Provide a Solution
One function of the ego, perhaps its main function is to
provide a solution to an issue that we have.
All the egos are answers to life. And all of them are
conditioned to produce some sort of an answer to the events and issues of life.
However, the solutions they provide bring trouble, more
complications and difficult consequences. In short they are really not the
right instruments to use to solve the issue.
However, the solution that drops out of our consciousness is
the best one always. The trick is how to get to that solution or more
importantly how to implement it.
Solutions Solutions
There are a few broad classes of solutions. The ego’s way is
to go outside, manipulate, control and get things moved physically.
The solutions of the consciousness are to: one - learn to
deal with the situation by adapting internally (change nothing, cope with it,
accept it and be happy by dying psychologically), two – surrendering it for our
inner Being to solve (trust and allowing the Law to function), three – to get
what the ego is trying to get but through ethical, correct and esoteric means.
Chose One
Anyone that we chose we need will, imagination and trust to
implement the solution. Implementing such a solution hinges on the mother of
all virtue – patience.
Will
Will: to decide and to pursue the new way of obtaining the
solution.
Trust
Trust: to go to the inner Being in us and say I side with
you and trust in your ways and in your solution as the being the best for me. I
trust in the happiness that I will feel in you and from your solution.
Imagination
Imagination: to see that we can do it, that it can be done
and how much better it will be. Imagination to open up our mind to the
possibilities.
Conclusion – We Keep the Ego Because it is Useful to Solve Things
The main message is to seek the work and the consciousness
as a way to solve things where previously the ego had been used. This way we
can teach our free essence that we don’t need the ego and when we stop using it
will get weaker and weaker and we will come to be more and more on the side of
our inner Being.
The reason why we keep the ego resides entirely in this point.
The reason is that we see the ego as very useful and when we stop seeing it
useful we will drop the ego and its dissolution is made easier and easier.
End (1952).
