How does the ego resolve the individual yet accept the
desire to unify with others? In short it
redefines unity. Unity ends up being
based upon the physical realm of our existence only. It lacks the desire to unify with our Creator
and it lacks a soul, so to speak, to unify with. Thus unity ends up being entirely physically
oriented. Physical unity is not a bad
thing, however it lacks the soul connection that is to be part of it. Here is the interesting part. As long as unity is based upon the physical
realm, true unity will be elusive. The
physical divides by default. So it wants
to complete unity but not with the soul.
The good news is that the soul will eventually win.
Here is the catch.
The ego is arrogant and likes to be prideful that requires others to be
a captive audience of it. But since true
complete unity is elusive, with out the soul, it will be forced to go to a
higher soul level to obtain that unity.
However, by doing so it ends up being transformed into an altruistic
focused desire. This is what the ego
does not want.
Let me illustrate.
When our bodies have a virus, a natural remedy is to take large dosages
of Vitamin C. What occurs is
interesting. The virus needs nourishment
that it can only get from the blood, however the blood is toxic to the virus
because of the Vitamin C. Often the
virus, to avoid being destroyed, will move to the muscles for protection. It is not uncommon to have muscle cramps because
the Virus is attacking the muscle but at the same time staying away from the
poisoned blood. Eventually the Virus
will die either from starvation or from the toxic blood.
Our ego (virus) likewise needs others (blood). The soul (Vitamin C) kills the virus and
purifies the blood. But at some point
the ego will have to relent and accept the soul into the equations that will
lead to altruism. So the ego will
eventually be forced to accept a soul, a soul of others. This is the eventuality for there is no way
out.
