We will continue from the last Nugget by focusing on the ego.
During this time of exploitation the ego was and is being permitted to run rampant without check. Keep in mind that no matter what institution that is in command (ie. Government or Religious) is in power because of the majority. Don’t be fooled into thinking the people are ruled over by a system but the people rule over it. For it is made of the people. Thus these systems are ruled by the ego. Take any institution or governing system and see if the ego rules it. We would be hard pressed to come up with just one that is not ruled by the ego if we are honest with ourselves.
Kabbalah teaches us that the ego is increasing and will increase till it cannot be satisfied by anything the world can offer. This may seem to be a bad thing. It is actually a good thing. We were meant to experience and eventually overcome the ego. This is an underlying theme of the TNK.
Contemplate passage within the TNK that support the idea of overcoming the ego at an individual level, communal level, at all of humanity level.
