Developing a selfless and objective viewpoint

Question from the Internet:

“What views of yourself have you given power over yourself?”

It started when — through a unique, purposeful, and practical method in the right environment — I started to reveal my inherently selfish, egotistic, and exploitative nature.

Then I also started to see how deeply and extensively this selfish ego has been controlling me and what harm and damage it has been causing to others.

As a result, I started to develop a true and increasingly intolerable dislike and even hate towards my inherent ego while also developing a true need and an insatiable desire to become able to love and serve others selflessly.

From the increasing tension and dynamic of these emotions — with the help of the same method in the same environment — a new, selfless and objective point of observation was born in me that became able to watch “myself” and the world “from the side.”

Through the seemingly “external” expert observer point, I have been practicing arresting and sorting my desires and intentions to try to change and aim my intentions for my own sake for the sake of others.

Of course, this is not simple at all, and on my own, I would be totally incapable of doing anything like this. But in the right environment, with other, fully and mutually committed people who aim to do the very same thing, we can mutually support each other in a way that each of us can “give birth” to such a totally selfless, objective and altruistic” observer that can take control over the instinctive, selfish and egoistic animal we were before.

As we all focus on getting closer to each other and care for one another more than we care for ourselves, we can “fall into” that selfless and altruistic state where we feel the others and our mutual connection more than we feel our own selfish and egotistic existence.

We can learn and practice together how to harness and channel the incredible power of the ego for positive, constructive, and collective goals and purpose.
