Letting Go

Ok so I just wanted to share a bit of something here, mainly the fact that humans are insane, yep you heard me right, myself included. The vast majority of people are so wound up in their own plight and selfishness, their egos if you will, they can't realize they are harmful to themselves, other people and the planet. They can't come to this realization mainly because their opinions/thoughts/feelings are what they perceive to be who they are, and when your opinion is you, you can't and don't want to see other sides of things or even see it realistically, which is to say without your own interests in mind, because the ego sees this as a threat.

I know what your thinking, why should you right, well here's the thing, humanity is in a deep rut of selfishness and egoic thinking/feeling and its causing a horrid me against the world approach in which unless we personally identify with something, we perceive it to be against us. This in turn makes the world out to be this nasty place that causes us fear, insufficiency and lack. When you are in a constant state of satisfying the ego's needs you are constantly defending it's survival and in that action you are giving out terrible closed energies, negative vibrations on all levels.

Now its very very hard for people to be awake to what the ego is doing, the ego is sneaky, as soon as it feels threatened it becomes defensive and will lash out or pity itself, so that is why it is very hard to say to someone who is strongly possessed by their ego that this is what is going on. When you let go of feeling you have to be right, let go of feeling you have to have what you want, let go of thinking that someone/something else is causing your problems, you are open and receptive and the ego no longer has control over you.
