Last night was ladies night, and a friend had a wonderful party for us at a Bed and Breakfast in town. During this party, we talked about the male ego, and I observed the female ego as well. While observing the ego at work, I saw how the male and female egos differ.Generally, the ego creates fear rising from our painbodies and emotional landscapes. These may differ for each of us depending on our emotional experiences. However, for males and females, we do have gender roles that differ.
For example, the male emotional landscape may have fears of inadequacies around being a good financial provider for his family, about being physically able to protect his family from others, and about being competent in a particular skill. The female ego may have fears about our ability to be good nurturers, about being sexually attractive to our partners, and about getting acceptance and attention from others. These are just general differences and there may be more.
What I have observed is that the emotions arsing from these fears are the same in that we will feel slighted, hurt, anger, resentful, jealous, envious, etc. Understanding these fears may help us overcome our reactions to our ego’s emotions to these fears. When we act on these fears is when there are conflicts, or what I call ego battles with others.
Through ego, we identify with roles assigned to us by our culture, and our beliefs, things, and ideas, also known as attachments. When we identify ourselves with these attachments, we suffer when we are unable to satisfy or have these attachments.
When we release our egos, we give up these attachments. Once we no longer become dependent and addicted to our attachments, we are able to live a life of joy, bliss, contentment free from suffering. May you find freedom from suffering, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
