    Hi IOX137,

    If you encourage the mind to
    grow, the ego to feel superior, even to become one with your "ideal" of God,
    then you will just create a bigger EGO, (mind construction), and you will
    miss the REAL SELF.

    I agree with you in principle. It has been my experience that letting my ego
    grow and becoming egotistical was a good way to learn the lesson that ego gets
    in the way. By participating in these acts of egotism etc, the natural law that
    rules over this phenomenon will teach us through cause and effect and so forth
    that a inflated ego and mind do get in the way. Sometimes we need a reality
    jolt to really recognise what fools we can be from our folly. I use the
    aphorism "It is better to love, than to not to love at all" Apply this to the
    ego and the mind and you will see my point.

    I pray to God, that you understand what I'm trying to get at here. I'm just
    trying to pass on some things I have been successful at uncovering for myself.

    Fraternally in L.V.X.

    Jim.

    Sokan,

    If the mind is essentially "nothingness" then the only reason one would
    attempt a method, is to try to uncondition it and make it aware of this fact.
    What other reason is there to pursue "initiation" than to dissolve the mind
    (ego) in to God, Being, that which 'is'?

    My point is that ANY method will mean a "doing", and that "doing" is just a
    round about way to allow the mind to LET GO. If you encourage the mind to
    grow, the ego to feel superior, even to become one with your "ideal" of God,
    then you will just create a bigger EGO, (mind construction), and you will
    miss the REAL SELF.

    I'm only stressing this because I feel it to be an essential part of any
    "way" whether it be Bardon, Buddah, Jesus etc.

    The only reason methods and techniques are felt to be needed is because the
    mind is ignorant of its true self, its "original face". Ultimately no method
    is needed, surrender is enough, accept with an open heart God, Truth,
    Existence etc, and you will know. Methods, teachings are needed ONLY to get
    back to the SOURCE.

    Eh, well that's what "I" think anyway... :>)

    Peace and Happiness,
    IOX137
