As our society evolves, so does our ego mentality. The way that we view importance differs by our preferred standards and principles. However, there still remains other consistencies of determining this despite societal changes.
Your philosophy of life determines the pattern of your behavior, which influences how others perceive you. Although expensive possessions and name brand clothing help to improve your sense of value, they don’t determine your sense of importance. The way that you operate in this life and how you participate in this society determines your overall sense of value.
While going through your personal spiritual journey you’ll receive a lot of suspicion from others naturally. They will be confused and suspicious because you may appear to rebel against traditional society in some way. This can lead to indirect interrogation from others, attempting to impose their boundaries on your for whatever reason. It’s however important to understand that you may not really owe others an explanation all the time. It’s only right to speak your truth and if others cannot see the integrity there, then that is their limitation. Not yours.
The basic life cycle involves a confirmation and destroying process. As we continue to destroy what no longer serves us, we open our lives up to perceiving new possibilities. However, when we confirm a part of our identity, we build confidence and progression to move forward along our personal path. Rayisha and I have a conversation about balancing mundane life with spiritual enlightenment and desires.
Evil thoughts can help us stay tuned with the desires of ourselves and others, but it can also overwhelm us and cloud our better sense of judgement. It’s best to be aware of when and how to set boundaries or spiritually filter these subconscious influences.
When it comes to our ideals and preferences, the ego can really get in the way of our work life, responsibilities and relationships. We try to organize all these aspects of our lives within ourselves, but with lack of awareness and concern. Instead, only to support the egoistic ideal in mind, and now we are not only at war within ourselves, but also silently amongst others.
One of the main issues in our society today is in the area of work and service. A lot of unfair comparison, outdated hierarchy systems and oppression get in the way of improvement.
Illusions are great for innovation and artistry, however we must find balance with what's natural and realistic. This can be difficult, being that most people are programmed to preferring overly filtered content in a variety of ways. This ranges from what we listen to, the food we ingest, the jewelry that we wear, etc.
