Spiritual Ego Is Material Ego: 04-22-2024

1. It is a dangerous process to give up your material ego for a spiritual ego because a spiritual ego is much harder to give up because it is pleasing to everyone but God.
2. Your material and spiritual egos are both yourself as opinions, the difference being what the opinions are about, typically people (material) and ideals (spiritual).
3. Spiritual paths will encourage you to give up your ego as opinions about people and to switch to accepting your ego as opinions about God, ideals, life, nature, oneness, the world, or the universe.
4. The spiritual and material egos are yourself as self-constructions, and self-constructions can be understood as mental objects, opinions, reified thoughts, and thought-things, but not as human beings.
5. The main difference between the spiritual and material egos is that the material ego concerns concrete things in your life, while the spiritual ego concerns abstract things that encompass life or a part of life.
