Evolution of the Lucid Ego

I have to say, it is quite amazing to see what is currently happening in the world, and YouTube as one part of it. All this existing wisdom is rapidly generating even more wisdom by infecting other people, and creating a spiral upwards!

All with the current Target of: Awakening Humankind

I like to put some attention on 'What do we understand as Awakening - at this point?'

Spiritually, Awakening means Oneness, to loose all bonds to the ego and have absolute awareness on the Now.
Physically, Awakening means, you wake up and stay awake.

At this time though, this is - luckily - not the case for most people.
At this time, Awakening means 'the moment of Awakening' - being Oneness, waking up - and then falling back to sleep again.

Anyway, after this experience, what happens is Knowing. The experience itself will change the human being because it recognizes the illusion of the ego and the truth of reality. But this does not mean that the ego is gone.

It remains as a lucid ego, a transparent ego - which I visualize as a cobweb right here. While the previous and full ego being an impervious web with no escape, the moment of Awakening most commonly blows out old habits, emotions and thoughts and thus creating the lucid ego. It enables us to see through the illusion and see the truth. This event may free us from mental addictions or any type of depression immediately.
To a certain extend, life changes from total planning to intuitive flowing - which is basically living in the Now.

This Lucid Ego might be considered as the next step of evolution. It's reason is:
- Securing survival of mankind
- Development of higher senses
- Preparation for next evolutionary jump (making the lucid ego obsolete)

Now this is kind of strange, but the biggest struggle of this stage:
- Survival of the Lucid Ego not secured
which is a circular relation.

There are two reasons that I see for this:
- Egoic Gravitation and
- the Contagiousness of Minds

The Ego Gravitation is basically the same than 'normal' gravitation just not for matter but for thoughts. In this thought-model (which may be part of the grand unification theory) the ego is the center of gravitation, pulling known and familiar reality into our lives. Unknown reality occurs only rarely.

On an gravitational pull radius our illusory wants and wishes are lingering and waiting for us pulling them in. Even the lucid ego - after experiencing a glimpse of awakening - has wants and wishes left. Maybe less wishes and transformed ones, but still wishes.

However, this does not mean that we have to overcome our ego gravity completely. That would be wrong. Living to the full is what life is for. It will be over soon enough. Enlightenment itself is not really life, but it wants life.
So until then let us as one experience all the awareness there is.
Well, but we are not there yet.

The second enemy of the Lucid Ego is the Contagiousness of Minds.

We all know that moods can be infectious, but something is different here. THere is more than just moods.

So let's say, you as you as an individual develop a lucid ego. This will bring new qualities in your life, such as High awareness, Brilliant listening, Higher ‘energy, Intuitive flow.

Even then you still might not be able to sustain it.
Why is that?

I can talk of myself a bit.
Especially at work there might be occasions when I'm in a total flow and everything lines up perfect just as it happens. But then, like a sledgehammer, you go into a meeting and all the energy is just sucked out of you.

So what happens because of the Lucid Ego is that you will also develop skills that totally knew, and one of them is empathy.

Empathy means that you feel the emotions of other people even if they don't really show it. You don't even have to look at them.
You might not even see them.

So - easy to say - it makes it work to stay in a Absolute Aware state of mind.

Only through the constant and conscious alertness of detecting ego patterns, we will eventually be able to establish a global, unified lucid ego, then being ready to loose the ego completely.

But until then, here is part of what 'you' can do to stay alert:
1. Recognize feelings and greet them
2. Be very grateful about experiencing the current moment as it is
3. Surrender (knowing that it's an egoic and untrue reality)
4. If you can't surrender, if you are somehow unhappy with a situation, just know that from time to time you may have to step into your illusionary ego and change things the old fashioned way - by interacting with other people on an ego-basis.
