“The ego must be able to listen attentively and to give itself, without any further design or purpose, to that inner urge toward growth. People living in cultures more securely rooted than our own have less trouble in understanding that it is necessary to give up the utilitarian attitude of conscious planning in order to make way for the inner growth of the personality.” PeopleWayGivingAblePurposeOrderCultureUnderstandingGrowthAttitudeTroubleDesignPersonalityEgoGiving UpConsciousPlanningUrgesRootedUtilitarianInner Growth Author:Marie-Louise von Franz
“The trouble is that the whole 'accept Christ' attitude is likely to be wrong. It shows Christ applying to us rather than us to him. It makes him stand hat-in-hand awaiting our verdict on him, instead of our kneeling with troubled hearts awaiting his verdict on us. It may even permit us to accept Christ by an impulse of mind or emotions, painlessly, at no loss to our ego and no inconvenience to our usual way of life.” WayMindHeartMayWholeShowsHandsChristLossEmotionAttitudeAcceptingTroubleEgoImpulseHatsPermitUsualInconvenienceVerdictKneelingTroubled Heart Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“A dictatorship of relativism is being built that recognizes nothing as definite, and which leaves as the ultimate measure only one's ego and desires ... Having a clear faith, according to the credo of the church, is often labeled as fundamentalism. Yet relativism, that is, letting oneself being carried 'here and there by any wind of doctrine,' appears as the sole attitude good enough for modern times.” EnoughDesireChurchAttitudeClearModernWindEgoBuiltUltimateOneselfDoctrineGood EnoughSoleDictatorshipFundamentalismDefiniteHere And ThereRelativismModern TimesCredo Author:Pope Benedict XVI
“One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. They literally force the evolution of language. You cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. So if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. The great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. It boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.” IfsThinkingWayMindRealFeelingsCultureLanguageForceConsciousnessAttitudeDevelopmentEvolutionEgoOne WayFasterLegacyEvolvePermanentExpansionCatalystAccelerateEgo TripDoing Your Own ThingPermanent ThingsLanguage DevelopmentEvolution Of Language Author:Terence McKenna
“It's an ego issue. You can bruise my ego but all bruises are healed now. Ego is through the roof again, confidence level is through the roof again. Gotta keep my attitude and positive mindset. I don't even remember the last fight. I hate to say it... I know I was emotional. I'm a real emotional person. If you put everything you have into one basket and it doesn't work, it's emotional to me. When I lose, it takes a piece of my heart away.

“In the East all the religions preach egolessness. So in the East everybody is against the ego from the very beginning.

So in the East it is very difficult to dissolve the ego, almost impossible.” StrongDifficultAttitudeImpossibleEgoEastThrownIntegrationRipe Author:Rajneesh
