Hello everyone. I have searched this site for some insight regarding Ray's insights and have not found anything. My search was in regards to the so called Human " EGO" and the need for it to go away, and what I call the overall phony Christian theatrical hatred for it. Now I understand that GOD is creating individuals. To be an individual you must be self aware,have self concepts and a self image and a personality.I personally do not believe the self is evil of itself alone.and that God id trying to do away with it.  I believe selfishness is evil and leads to all kinds of sin.I think the Super self exalting ego is the real enemy here. The self that wants to do away with gods authority, wisdom and sovereignty. I think you need to strike a balance between living for yourself and others. I think you need to respect and take care of your personal needs and health. I think a vacation  is selfish but man does it feel good and refreshes my individual spirit.It's a genuine need.I have seen many theatrical displays from the pulpit that I feel mimic an understanding of what Gods spirit does to a man by a theatrical display of self ab oration, and hatred.A need to tell a story to whiteness to the world how evil they once were but are now saved, and thus good.To say repeatedly over an over again Praise the lord, as if God needs to hear his name over and over again like some insecure MAN.We need to make GOD feel good so he wont kill us, and torture us in hell.Certainly the apostle Paul went through a period of self loathing but he did not stay that way. I do not want to get in a war with words here but I'm just looking for some clarity on this subject. It's something I never bought, and why I always stayed away from religion. All the theatrics and no real visible evidence of change. Just an overwhelming feeling of guilt. I have seen hurting people slaughtered by this philosophy. I would like to see it addressed and exposed, because I think it stinks.Any comments and direction appreciated.

Marky Mark:
"EGO" is not only Edging God Out but also an exaggerated sense of self-importance,which in turn is what makes one carnal and a pursuer of ones own lust and desires.[ie; idols of the heart]. Anything that Ray teaches on carnality can also apply to the word "EGO".

Rom 8:7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.


Peace...Mark

Mar 13:26 And then shall they be seeing the Son of Mankind coming in clouds with much power and glory.

Mar 10:45 For even the Son of Mankind came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many."

Aatos:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I always understood the whole Id, Ego, and Super Ego as something like this.

Id:  I want it!  I want it now!  I want it, and I'm going to get it!

Ego: No, you are not going to get it, you don't need it.

Super Ego:  No, you're not going to get it, and shame on you for even wanting it you horrible person you!


So, shouldn't it be the Id that we should be railing against (and possibly the super ego)?
