Bodhi 心I am very interested in the importance of #psychological #health for #spiritual #practice. I want to learn more about Jack Engler, a Buddhist psychotherapist who said, “You have to be somebody before you can be nobody.” We need a healthy #ego to practice well and safely, so I was concerned to hear a senior ajahn teaching recently that we need to “dissolve the ego”. 1/2

eddieozDomando o ego: transforme energia em ação
Você vê o ego como inimigo ou como combustível? 🤔
• 🔥 Metáfora poderosa: o ego é como um cavalo selvagem — não se mata, se doma.
• 🐎 Quando você doma o ego, transforma uma força bruta em um aliado enorme de energia.
• 💪 Essa energia direcionada vira ações concretas e resultados positivos para você e para os outros.

🟥A ver, vamos a ser directos: si alguien te hace una corrección y te pones como un erizo, el problema no es lo que te han dicho, es que tu ego tiene la piel muy fina.
Hay gente que confunde defender una opinión con defender su honor, y ahí es donde se estrellan.
Las personas que de verdad están seguras de lo que saben no tienen miedo a escuchar; al revés, saben que si alguien les saca del error, les están haciendo un favor de gratis.
El ego es un traicionero que te susurra al oído que equivocarse es de perdedores o que admitir un fallo te hace menos "jefe".
Mentira.
La soberbia es la cárcel de los ignorantes.
Lo que de verdad demuestra que tienes dos dedos de frente es la humildad de decir:
"Oye, pues tienes razón, no lo había visto así".
Eso no es debilidad, es inteligencia pura y dura.
Nadie tiene el carné de la verdad absoluta en el bolsillo, por mucho que algunos se lo crean.
La pregunta aquí es sencilla:
¿qué prefieres, tener la última palabra o aprender algo nuevo?
Si cada vez que te llevan la contraria sientes un pellizco en el orgullo, háztelo mirar, porque te estás cerrando puertas tú solo.
Crecer escuece un poco a veces, pero quedarte estancado por no dar el brazo a torcer es mucho más triste.
Al final, la verdad no necesita que la defiendas a gritos, pero tu crecimiento sí necesita que bajes un poco los humos y abras más las orejas.

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

Bernd von Mallinckrodt 🦋What if #ego is not just a psychological construct …
but a structural mechanism preserving diversity in complex systems?
In this #CRTI -based theoretical note, I show how removing ego can induce structural compression & latent fragility long before collapse becomes visible. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

„Erkenne dich selbst“ stand über #Delphi …
aber vielleicht erkennt man sich erst, wenn man weit genug weg ist, um das eigene Spiel zu sehen.
Und wenn du dich wirklich siehst …
War dein #Ego je mehr als nur eine #Perspektive, die sich für das #Zentrum hielt?🖖
