Ego & Vos – the stories you tell yourself about yourself and an other person.

New Age has somewhat warped idea of ego. They seem to think “ego” means “arrogance” or “separation”. It means neither, but both words speak of the ego of the person saying it. (If you want to stop reading here, watch your ego.) Everybody has got an ego, even the most zen people in this world have an ego, because the whole word seems to be misunderstood by the New Age community.

You have one ego, several vos‘. Ego is what you mean when you say the word “I”; your idea of yourself, partly accurate, partly lies. You want to get rid of the lies, the “false ego”, so that your ego is accurate and realistic.

Vos is what you mean when you say someone else’s name: “David is…” Your idea of David, as a whole. Your idea of David is partly truthful, potentially partly based on a lie you tell yourself, and most certainly it is incomplete. Depending on how close you are to David, you want to work on your knowledge and understanding of David, your vos of David, but you will certainly want to stop yourself from LYING to yourself about what David is or how he feels about things, especially you.

New Age also wants to claim your ego is your separation from the whole. That is a lie they tell themselves about other people’s vos, making THEM very arrogant. The idea of having an individual ego is a very the Normal Person*interpretation of the word ego and our spiritual goals. The Savants* will never lose their individual ego, and that’s all there is to it. The Normal Person*will have to grow to accept that and seek unity among other the Normal Person* and to learn to let the Savants* be without fearing that they will lash out and destroy the Normal Person*communities simply out of their rage of being excluded from them. (the Savants* will destroy these organizations from the inside to get out of them, NOT lash out when they are excluded from them.)

New Age feels “ego” means ambition and goal-oriented, because, you know what happens to the Normal Person* when they live with a goal-oriented the Savants*? They get ignored, and because the Normal Person*lives for attention, they can’t stand anything that pulls their loved one’s attention to something other than themselves. I’d say this is the Normal Person*arrogance, what they like to call ego: self-importance. The Normal Person*eriously needs to learn how to let go of other people and their need to control other people’s decisions and from derailing them from their chosen life paths.

the Normal Person* cannot stand solitude, therefore they believe that a Savants* who is FINE with solitude suffers alone. The Savants* might not PREFER solitude at all times, but they are OK with it, when the situation demands it. Often they prefer solitude to incompetent company. They can be 100% competent alone, or add 4 the Normal Person* to a team and have to go back and forth to fix the Normal Person*’ errors or alternatively allow errors to pass out of politeness and gratitude toward the dog-type; they’ll prefer doing it alone. That’s what the Normal Person*ego and vos cannot see. The Normal Person*is always trying to pull the Savants* into the unity with the Normal Person* against the Savants* will and natural way of being. This is dog-type’s flawed ego and vos in play.

With ego and vos, the goal is to shred the lies we tell ourselves about ourselves and others, NOT to shake the ego completely. That would make a person completely willess, they would be completely dependent on other people’s definition of who they are; their direction, and their knowledge. And if there were NO people left with an idea of who they are as an individual… Whether we are good or not would be totally dependent on the last person who shed their ego, because it would be THEIR idea of how this world should run, as nobody else would have an ego to fight that idea with.

Ego is not the enemy, the falsehoods are. Hang onto your ego, but drop the bs.
