Ego's Mercenaries...

One can thing of the Ego as the "false self", a belief that needs the help or the development of society to help it to survive or even food to feed this beast. Think of it this way, the Ego has, lets say, mercenaries that work if not for it, to help it grow within us.
Think of it this way, the Ego's mercenaries would be the Media, the world of Advertisement, and also, Entertainment. For the Media force feeds us this continuous steady diet of low energy news. This information is nothing but bad news, low vibration situations that we can do little about. We see it, hear it, and read it now in every form that there is. We see it in the newspaper, car radio, T.V. (24 hour channels I might add), and our cell phones or mobile devises daily, if not hourly. Plus, as we may or not admit it, if makes us feel better about our on situation to see others worse off than we are. This IS NOT helping us stay in Spirit with "good" or should I say, God. Advertisement is yet another one of Ego's worriers. The ad's just keep reminding us of how we should look, feel and live to "fit in" with society. If we are not up to this challenge of the Ad's then we "must not be up with the times." Again, these are just the things and ways of perceiving that we are not in "true self" the Ego would have us believe. Oh but far from the truth. These Ad's direct us in a way of "false self" which the Ego is very comfortable in having us believe. Remember, the Ego is "of false self". It would have you believe in it, not your Spirit. And Entertainment have actually been driving us away from being in Spirit. In this society of Entertainment would have and does try to believe that non-spiritual energies are important to our entertainment package. These mercenaries listed above are low levels of energies masquerading as "our needs" but are really just obstacles to keep us away from our ultimate calling to be inspiration.
Thanks to the world in which we live in, we have developed a lot of habits that are the direct result of living almost exclusively "in Ego" rather than "in Spirit." When a majority of society members are raised and persuaded to believe in the illusion of Ego, then that society will develop a firm commitment to that false self. Be careful of uninspiring energy, for Ego's mercenaries are just waiting to help us believe in Ego.
