While in the "eye of being" it boils and boils, in the “eye of the storm” peace and silence govern.
Our Ego is extremely observant. It sees everything, remembers everything and knows everything. It is what governs our Subconscious and perceives the energies sent by the Superconscious to realize the Conscious Life on Earth. The Ego is the "receiver" of our gifts and it is what makes us develop and realize our talented potential. The tendency to duality of our Ego can lead us to cheat on ourselves, pushing us to the unbridled impulses of the Soul, or locking our Spiritual aspirations in the cage of pride forged by the ambition of material or mental superiority. The ego wants to be "Significant" and it is the fear of feelings of inferiority that can make it achieve its goals by deftly using the weaknesses of others, subordinating them to its will, through manipulative actions. (p.13,36-38,99,108,111,112,116-117,144,159,184)
His quest for supremacy prevents others from gaining and owning more than he does. He knows how to cover up this aspiration by watching the fair distribution of goods among others, because he knows that only through others can he get his "Significance". Hidden behind unfrankly friendliness and cordiality, he always keeps most of the portion to himself. And he often rewards himself with the greatest trophy, proclaiming himself a just protector of the weak and defensless.
In the name of preserving his honor and dignity, the Ego is able to make us do not so honest and worthy things that we do not realize or are able to quickly forget. At such moments, the Ego is able to silence the voice of our Conscience with a false Morality that dissapears the moment it meets the Truth.Unfortunately for the Ego, the Truth rarely spares him the details. When we see into his true intentions, the Ego becomes angry, aggressive, and vindictive. His quest for supremacy turns into an all-consuming fire, which eventually burns to ashes also the branch on which he sits. Anger and destructive passion blind his eyes and leave him blind to his own downfall. Such manifestations of the Ego literally burn the wings of the "Butterfly of Luck". Intuition becomes a destructive suspicion that burns the stomach and causes the heart to "petrify" under the influence of rising cholesterol and atherosclerosis, which step by step blocks blood vessels.
Initially, the "Tree of Life" blossoms under the rays of strong will, but the thirst for power dries up its juices with the poisons of toxic bile. (p.20,31,37,39,48,102,106,111,114,115-117,123,133,137,160,173,177,189,190,192)
And how wonderful the World would be for the critical Ego if it removed the curtain of its selfish fear in order to allow the rays of Light to penetrate freely into the pupils of "His all-seeing eye". If we let Light and Love flow freely through life and in our veins, then we will be filled with energies, health and joy, with which we can fully exchange goods with others and draw directly from the source of Abundance. Light and Love are a cure for Bile and Ego. (p.59,131-133)
