You accept that its there and disregard it when it's acting up. Be polite, be considerate, be mindful of others 24/7 for the rest of your life and lose the habit of blaming things on factors you can't control, it's a way to breed helplessness within you and the festering wound of the ego.

This is what I'm talking about, the thing I just could not accept, which is pic related. But it's not just that, the ego is meant to make you a character in the play, and by surrendering, you do not necessarily get Liberated. I wanted to be Liberated, so I hated my ego. I wanted to help suicidal people through the great compassion of being a Bodhisattva... et cetera... but you are only allowed to go with what you are as an ego, and accept that, because you are God's bitch essentially.

I don't know about that predeterminism thing or being 'God's bitch' or anything of that sort. I really think you're just overcomplicating and deriving metaphysical conclusions from mundane, unpleasant events.

No, just time out, I don't want to turn that quote into a belief system. What I have discovered is that you are forced to be a character in the play. How? By surrendering to the ego and God. What happens? Your life starts.

Is surrendering an act of the ego? Any attempt at 'surrendering' only perpetuates the cycle.

Yes, but what I'm trying to explain to people is that the ego is meant to make you a character in the play, it is impossible without surrender to either the ego itself or to God. Both must be done at once. 

I'm doing a good job ruining my own thread.
