IS EGO THE ENEMY OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH?

“Ego is the enemy of spiritual growth.”

- KEN O'DONNELL

IS EGO THE ENEMY OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH?

For many years, I believed this. For me and various others, I thought that one of the main aims of spiritual practice was to overcome it. In spite of concerted effort, I did not seem to get anywhere. It was like whipping water to make butter. Then one fine day, I had one of those life-changing insights. I did not have to annul it. I had to work out how to elevate its function. 

At its best, the ego is just a set of coordinates that help us navigate through life. Imagine if we had to recreate our names, forms, addresses, genders, ages, relationships, and professions every day. These parameters within which the ego operates, are essential to everyday living. With understanding and spiritual power, the ego can be a great agent between our deeper selves and the reality that forms around us.
