Rite Thinker Awareness Session #7 - Ego Games
In today’s Rite Thinker Awareness Session we were looking at the games that we play in our relationships. It was a very interesting class with a lot of questions from the participants. At one point Kirtanya was explaining about the Struggle for Survival game. She had expounded on how ideas make use of your life for their survival. You are not simply your idea. But when an idea enters your head, you claim positionality with it and then it is no more the idea that is losing but “YOU” who is losing. Whenever the idea is rejected, it is as though you have been rejected personally and there begins a long battle for survival. She had taught a set of six games based on this and the solution to tackle them.
Then Sriram, a 16 year old asked a shrewd question, “Why should I tackle “Struggle for Survival” at all?”
The answer given to him was very interesting. The very basis, the very essence of any struggle is fear. Where there is fear, there is no freedom. Where there is no freedom there is conflict. Where there is conflict there is drain of energy. Where there is no energy there is no joy. Therefore if you have to experience joy and bliss in your life, you sure have to have an awareness of the games you play internally.
These two weeks, let us commit ourselves to awareness of our ego games.
