One of my first realisations when i first started meditation was this; I asked myself allowed where is the soul of the ape if the ego descends into the body.....???? or foetus rather....And the answer was it is still there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the ego dies at realisaton the body still lives on............... Tony O'Clery WE ARE POSSESSED PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! Tony O'Clery The ego will try to kill you to escape alive if you are close to realisation sometimes like MATHRU SRI SARADA. Tony O'Clery The ego is crafty hides and convinces people that really it is them thinking...not it. about an hour ago · Orli . Hey Tony ...so you are saying that we are actually playing with fire if we get to close to realization, because our own ego will try to kill us..... Tony O'Clery Yes in a way but if one has done the meditation and sadhana this should be controlled,,,read ; I am that' by david godman. Tony O'Clery It is not our own ego that is the problem..... 40 minutes ago · Like Tony O'Clery Saradamma's ego tried to kill her so it could escape and survive and to go into a different body..of any kind. Tony O'Clery Problem is the ego ends up thinking that the body is its body... Tony O'Clery When the ego is dead the purified vijnanamayakosa takes over the running of the body mind complex................... Most people do not realise that they are possessed by an astral entity and all have been since they were about 4 or 5 months in the womb.......So they go through live wanting to experience pleasure with this and that and create attachments and vasanas and tendencies...........all the ego working within...... THEY ARE MOST SURPRISED WHEN THEY PAY ATTENTION TO THE EGO...AND IT CHANGES THEIR ATTITUDE FOREVER... Rememeber in Muktas after realisation there is no ego but the body is still functioning. Cat--- Peniel puts the ego thing a different way. Ego gives up serving its selfish self and serves the Inner Being instead. Not that it dies. He also mentions someone with a big ego can be a better servant once that change is made. Tony O'Clery that is wrong.. end Tony O'Clery It is a possessor or an entity as cayce calls it..........peniel is way off on that one sorry. Tony O'Clery The ego will try to kill you to escape alive if you are close to realisation sometimes like MATHRU SRI SARADA..
