How the ego works against you/FinnA Chapter by J campIts a well known fact that the ego gets in the way of our lives and I want to say why that is.Ways the ego sabotages your life experience - Advertisements play on this ego, they beam into your mind things you think you need or if you don't have you will be less than. The same goes with all consumer goods for the most part. Take fashion for example, You see an unhealthy "beautiful" Girl weighing somewhere between ninety and one hundred pounds wearing something someones designed on the television. Suddenly you look at yourself and start to feel a bit insecure, maybe your a tad over weight or maybe theirs something else you don't like about yourself. then you go to school and you see people wearing what she was wearing or something similar and you begin to feel even more inadequate to fill this hole the world made you slave and you purchase the clothing only for it to again be changed up months later and again you repeat the process because its not what "everyone else" is wearing or doing. You so badly want to validate your own existence to others that you give up yourself in order to be someone else. The same can be said for beverage companies,working on the ego. Say you see a soda advertised on TV. What are you going to see with it? Healthy happy individuals drinking it, it will portray that soda as if having that drink will make you feel healthy,happy. It's garbage. It's all lies. You don't need to slave for anything you have everything you could ever need. Life is free these prices on goods are only there to further stimulate the work that is done in that matrix like existence . I'm not saying you shouldn't work to help turn the societal wheel, I'm just saying do you really need all that much? Is money happiness? Does it really have any value or is it just what the world tells you it is. Be separate from the world and continue to co create your own reality based on what you truly desire not what others desire for you and I promise your real life will be found.
