In the quest to find the true self there is a hint
that the ego entity becomes aware of its identity and that identity is not as
solid and reliable, everlasting and real as it appears to be.
Then there follows a period of fear and loss
regarding its flimsy identity. In the haste to restore a real foundation for
itself it will employ by any means to solidify and verify its tawdry existence.
Like the scorpion surrounded by fire it would
rather destroy itself than admit and surrender and to realise that its identity
is false and has a shaky base. It maybe sufficient to survive to live in denial
and distract itself in anyway even if it lives in apathy and justifying this
with ‘at least I live’ never owning the true nature of itself.
A rare event may gradually dawn as the realisation
of its temporary weak status is fully understood and may commence the search
for ‘what would it be like without itself’?
Could there be another existence that is without fabrication?
As the gaps become wider because of the diminishing
mind chatter and habitual reactions the ego becomes less aggressive and
petulant and even becomes more tolerant of the emptiness and space, the idea of
a definite self based just on the past and its routines and built in thought
processes becomes less of a threat to the approaching space and no mind, the
crest of the ego descends into the valley of something else and this something
else is very satisfying in its limited appearances between the battle of crest
and valley.
When finally the realisation of the essence of the
ego is seen in a complete holistic view then the slide from the prominence of
sheer ego dominance to the valley of peace and inner knowing smooths out the
last remaining ‘sticky’ bits.
