| Egotism, one of the major factors of our life Posted: Man has never tackled or inquired into, come to grips with, the whole structure of the mind—the mind that has built the egocentric activity. Egotism has been one of the major factors of our life, probably the only factor. Human beings have accepted it as inevitable, natural. We say, “It exists in animals, so it exists in us; it is right we should be concerned with ourselves, with improvement, with our position in society”, and so on and so on. I do not know if you have ever inquired whether it is not the human mind throughout the world, under different guises, in different forms, which has been the central factor of man’s cruelty, man’s barbarity and suffering. To understand the “me”, the ego, we must first of all understand our consciousness, at the very centre of which is the “me”.Talks in Saanen 1974, p 38 |
