What I dont understand why you would make an artifical differentiation between ego and inner world. I mean I do understand why people do it, but couldnt one also say that the ultimate goal was to make the ego state(s) congruent to what your inner world wants, or making your trance state congruent with what you want in your 'real' life? Or isnt the ultimate goal as you are describing the implementation and congruent making of the trance state with your real life experience? But yeah, the differentiation if course helps for the sake of describing.... I also find it interesting, how Gunther Schmidts perspective stems then from a relatively qualitative different cultural experience...
As a Therapist for the past 25 years, I have noticed on some of the days that I least felt like going to the office, that I was most sleep deprived or even in some sort of physical pain - that I have been most on, most effective and most helpful . . . maybe in these states, we are more available to get over the Self and step into the lives of others.
Thank you for your personal recurring experience, motivation and thus guidance to backup my direction to getting more consciously watchful and spiritually connected.
I think what you said at the end is the key. To see how your own rebellion creates the same level of wrong actions you are purporting to stop will help bring down the heat dramatically. This is one of the biggest , if not the biggest complaint from the Trump supporters against the left. The hypocrisy is so clear to the right and so incredulous it is not seen by the left. Until the left sees this and changes the dialogue from that hypocritical perspective...it will continue to get worse. The right cannot stand the left responding with a righteous indignation while coming at them with even more violence. They will never let their guard down or feel safe enough to dialogue when confronted with such hypocrisy that runs so counter to their highest values. Not that they don't have their own hypocrisy to contend with.
