Ego vs. Self

A common discussion that is becoming quite abundant in philosophy forums, spirituality forums as well as many other discussion forums is that of Ego vs. Self.

People are interested in self-discovery. As we should be. It's our right as facilitating self.

The only objection to self-recognition is that of ego. Ego is the artificial belief system that incorporates any foundation of fear and self inhibition. Ego is developed upon experience. It is the empirical crutch of separating an individual from truly being conscious at any given moment.

J. Krishnamurti often spoke of being aware and capable of listening. This is the function of self. Self is rooted in the subconscious until discovered fully by the new brain consciousness. Once self is recognized, it becomes present in all things.

This is the element of Ego vs. Self. Ego is established as an oppressive system designed for protection and Self is established as our true being with the capacity of spontaneously evolving, or, growing.

For more information, merely Google "Self vs. Ego" and see what comes up. As well, research the work of any progressive humanitarian and you will find that they are rooted in Self.
