Non reaction to the ego in others is equivalent to forgiveness

Non-reaction to the ego in others is one of the most effective ways not only of going beyond ego in yourself but also of dissolving the collective human ego.
But u can only be in state of non-reaction if u can recognise someone's behaviour as coming from the ego, as being an expression of the collective human dysfunction.
When u realise it is not personal, there is no longer compulsion to.
react as if it were.
By not reacting to the ego, u will often be able to bring out the sanity in others, which is the unconditioned as opposed to the conditioned.
At times, u may hav to take practical steps to to protect urself from deeply unconscious people.

Soul - true. Thanks to my auto self control n delayed feeling and coupled wit my knowledge in psychology, I hav been able to do that. Now, I am learnin to Act.

Non reactuin is not weakness but strength. Another word for non-reaction is forgiveness. To forgive is to overlook, or rather to look through. You look through the ego to the sanity that is in every human being as his or her essence.
In the background, there is the awareness. In the foreground, there is the voice, the thinker. In this way you are becoming free of the ego, free of the unobserved mind. The moment u become aware of the ego in u, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern. Ego implies unawareness.
Awareness and ego cannot coexist together.

Soul - m learning and applying day by day.
This mornin, I woke up a few times from 6 am onward, then at 7 am, I woke up afreshed n decided to do meditation since I know that there is a spare room.

Whereas resentment is often the emotion that goes on complaining, it may also be accompanied by a stronger emotion such as anger or some other form of upset and hence it becomes more highly charged energitically.
Complaining then turns into reactivity, another of the ego's way of strengthening itself.

There are many people who are always waiting for the next thing to react against, to feel annoyed or disturbed .... and it never takes long before they fund it. They r addicted to upset and anger as others are to a drug. Through reacting against this or that they assert and strengthen their feeling of self.

Soul - mmm, very logical. By why they want to feel 'bad' instead of 'good'.

A long standing resentment is called a grievance. To carry a grievance is to be in a permanent state of "against".
Don't try to let go of the grievance. Trying to let go, to forgive, does not work. Forgiveness happens naturally when u see that it has not purpose other than to strengthen a false sense of self, to keep the ego in place.

Soul - I suddenly tot of my grieve against God. Always putting me thru challenges, having to prove myself over and over again, making me feel unloved.

When u complain, by implication u r right and the person/situation u complain abt or react against is wrong.
Nothing strengthen the ego more than being right. For u to be right, of course, u need someone else to be wrong.
Ego takes everything personally. Emotion arises, defensiveness, perhaps even aggression. At u defending truth or urself? Truth, does not need defense.
Every ego is a master of selective perception and distorted interpretation.
Only through awareness - not through thinking - can u differentiate between fact and opinion.
Only through awareness, are u able to see the totality of the situation or person instead of adopting one limited perspective.

Soul - due to my inherent self control and my cultivated knowledge and experience in meditation. I am more aware.

The particular egoic patterns that u react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identiy, tend to be the same patterns that are also in u, but u r unable or unwilling to detect within urself.
Anytthing that u resent and strongly react to in another is also in u.

Soul - what did I find irritatin in PA the gall of her sayin she is my guru, forcing me to 'confront'?

A new earth
Whatever u fight, n u strengthen, and what u resist, persists.

Spiritual realisation is to see clearly that what I perceive, experience, think or fee is ultimately NOT who I am, that I cannot find myself in all those things that continuously pass away.
