Imagine that when an ego appears in our human machine we press a magic button and the thoughts and feelings of the ego diminish considerably and rapidly.
That magic button does exist! It is the value or quality at the very core of the ego.
Transmutation is the core value of lust and many of its branches. Trust for fear and anxiety, love for the Being for self-love, forgiveness for resentment, contented moderation for gluttony, balance and justice for pride,
The only catch is that we need to have worked out for ourselves how to apply these values within our particular nature. The only way to learn that is to apply them for yourself. Grab the virtue and apply it and as you apply it you will work out how to apply it better and better.
End (3358).
