The power of ego to mask the present beyond life- ghosts
|
|
| One of the growing beliefs amongst the "spiritual" and "enlightened" brigade of new age healers and mystics is that once a person leaves their body they somehow come in contact with a greater awareness and knowledge. | ||
| This may be so, but what about the power of ego? Is there someway to prove just how powerful the ego is even after death? | ||
| 7.16.1 | Ghosts and ego | |
| There have been and continue to be many theories concerning ghosts, providing you believe in their existence in the first place. | ||
| For many ghosts are people who are somehow trapped between this world and the next. Frequently ghosts are said to be people who have been murdered and/or who feel they have unfinished business. But what about ego? What if ego has a clear influence in pushing people into a ghost state and keeping them there? | ||
| 7.16.2 | What if the ego has the potential to continue to hold a person in delusion even after they have died? | |
| Are we being too nice to consider that ego somehow passes away when the body dies? Is it possible the effects of ego and madness can continue to entrap us in death as in life? | ||
| The answer may lie firmly and squarely on the state of the ego and that individuals may not realize that they are in the state they are- or worse- that they may keep themselves in that state for a range of reasons including guilt, sadness, regrets. | ||
| Given ego is capable of distracting us from the now when we are alive, there is nothing to suggest that ego is not capable of continuing on into and beyond life in the physical form to the other states of human consciousness. Therefore it is a program of the mind far stronger than the original concept of a distraction tot he now, to being a distraction to UCA- per se. | ||
