THE CENTER OF EXISTENCE
From Ego's perspective, everything revolves around Self. This is true because you are the center of all of your experiences. It is also true from a
universal perspective...
From The Earth, the Sun is the center... from the Sun, the Galactic Center is the center....
From the Galactic Center the middle point of a cluster of galaxies is the Center...
In this large expansive universe, there is not True center and it change depending on how you look at it.
Ego will just focus around "Self" and this is indeed another true perspective...
---------------------------
TRUTH
From the perspective of Ego, whatever one believes is true, why? Because SELF is the center of one's experiences and the only thing in reality you
will ever know is your experiences... even if you have experiences of something you do not like... you can just change perspective so that even "that"
experience can be seen as something "false" or "misleading" and what you PREFER to be truth can be seen as truth...
It's the old saying "We create our OWN reality"... "We are the center of our experiences"...
To Ego, the only truth is "I am awesome and I am correct"... Ego likes TRUTH (or at least what it believes truth to be from ITS perspective) so it
usually starts a war or fights against others who disagree...
In a non-destructive way, it can say "Any opinion of me that is GOOD is correct and truthful, otherwise I don't care about their opinion since it is a
LIE"
---------------------------
HAPPINESS / PRIDE
The only way to be happy from Ego's Perspective is to have PRIDE in one's self. Have PRIDE in one's possessions, appearance, and reputation... BUT,
the main PRIDE, the main POWER must be center around Self, to mistake oneself for current "possessions", "appearances of the body", or "reputation"
will make one unhappy as one changes or things start to leave one's life.
It is unconditional SELF love.... unconditional PRIDE... this is the only way to keep a constant happiness if one stays as Ego rather than
Spirit...
