Personal Power or Weakness. Ego and Egoism. Question of the Solar Plexus

Self-Love is the "Path" towards Yourself, towards your Self 


Many schools, religions and philosophies postulate that we must forget our Ego in order to develop spiritually.

The Ego manifests itself in the human being through the Solar Plexus Chakra.
Chakras are part of our soul, of our spirituality.
Our Ego (Solar Plexus) is our Self here and now with which we understand the world.
Spiritual development entails a development of the entire Major Chakra System including the Solar Plexus.
A strong Ego helps in spiritual development. Although I would dare to say that without Ego, without Solar Plexus such development would not exist.

A person with a big and strong Ego "takes on the world", does great things, "brings important projects to fruition", writes, develops, invents, discovers, teaches, knows who he is and what he wants in life and does not She allows nothing and no one to stop her. The person with a big and strong Ego is a winner, also in the spiritual realm.

A person without an Ego is a “zombie”, a self-conscious person, without self-confidence, easy to manipulate, control, force, stop.
A person without Ego is incapable of thinking for himself, but lives according to taboos, prejudices, teachings, clichés, thoughts of others, fashions and many, many fears (life programming).

The Strong Ego enjoys Life without Taboos or Prejudices


The person with a strong Ego decides for himself, he is free. People without Ego are “lambs” that the “System” takes to the slaughterhouse.
In fact, the “System” has never been interested in people with their own thoughts that it cannot control or, as it is popularly said, that “don't jump through hoops.”

A country made up of people with their own thoughts, self-confident, with clear things, with strong ideals is of no interest to any government.

People with a large Ego are those who have always sacrificed themselves for the rest of Humanity. Those people who, living without fear, dare to say that “the earth is round” without caring about the reprisals that such a position could cause them, are people with a big and strong Ego.

The self-confident Ego is what creates the geniuses, the teachers and spiritual guides of the human race. Egos that have dared to emerge from the “collective Ego”, from the artificial and weak Ego of the “great popular mass”.

There are some Grand Masters (like myself (modesty aside)) who are able to see the difference between a strong and weak Ego based on their own life experience and choose to live according to the former. A few months ago I read somewhere that “he who was able to dominate his Solar Plexus, his Ego, would control the Universe.”

The Strong Ego knows no excuses for not Succeeding in Life


On the other hand, we must be clear that having a large ego is not the same as being selfish. Actually, selfish people are very insecure people, with many fears, with a very weak Ego.

The strong Ego parts, distributes and shares in all aspects of life, because its security is not based on material things, nor on what it can hoard, keep, hide, conceal, retain, but on its own ability to be itself. .

The strong Ego does not need praise or acceptance from others because the strong Ego is strong in itself (the redundancy is worth it, I assure you).

I once wrote that “humility does not mean that you do not know that you are a being created in the image and likeness of God” with all the merits that accompany it.
Being proud of who you are is not the same as pride. Proud of himself is he who feels fulfilled and pride is the mask that failures put on to hide their spiritual misery.

“Love others, as well as yourself.” It was not me who said the previous words more than 2,000 years ago...
...but the following phrase is mine: “Today I love myself more than yesterday but less than tomorrow”

Kisses hearts!
