Impenetrable ego (Walls of our souls -sequel)

Last year I wrote about the walls of our souls. I had a vision that we build the walls to protect ourselves. Some defenses around our egos to keep us safe. However in the process of disassembling my own walls I came to see the fortress is quite empty inside. I came to this conclusion after noticing that in taking the walls apart, I always had to give up of something I've used to call "myself". Actually, I am not revealing something that is called me from the shadows of the walls, but instead there's no one home inside the fortress. There is no "higher me", there is no divine soul inside.

The walls and ego seem to be the same thing after all. The "ideal me" I've wanted to be all my life does not exist at all. Well, should I put the bricks back on their places then? I cannot live as incomplete construction yard, right? But it wouldn't solve the original problem. The original target was to be open to the world, open to myself and open to my environment on all levels. And to break free from the fortress, from the prison I've built for myself. But, the stronger the ego, the further the goal. No matter what kind of ego I build, in building it, I always leave something out. The more I identify with something, the more I reject it's opposite. It'd just feed the dualistic battle where no one eventually wins. So the answer to break free from the truths I've built for myself, seems to be to get rid of the ego.

Instead of just thinking who I am, I should change the point of view totally. I'm not sure yet what it is, but I've come to learn few new views.

  • Most of the obstacles in being free and being true to yourself comes from yourself. The ego makes the biggest blocks on life's highway.
  • Your truth is a lie to someone else and your lies are the holiest truths to someone. If you fight this, you will lose - if you accept it, you have a chance to learn. 
  • To your inner balance and peace there is no right of wrong, true or false, black or white, dark of light. There's just your inner force.
  • The inner force must not be fed from dualities, because every time you feed from light, you risk losing to dark, when you feed from hate, you risk losing to love and when you feed from others you risk losing to yourself. 
  • The strong ego gives an impression of vast and large world. But it is just a world full of empty visions which exist only to yourself. Stronger the ego, stronger the hallucinations and stronger the belief into them. 
  • When your world is not agreed on, it doesn't exist. No contact space means no flow of force. No force means imprisonment inside your ego's hallucinations.  
  • To the outside world, your world exists only in positions where you find contact space with your environment and other world. 
  • Your world and your force replenishes only through these contact spaces. 

Let's see where the world takes us...
