Some time ago, I published an article about the ego<\/a>, and how this protective mechanism becomes, over the course of internal evolution, an insurmountable block. A reader told me about his difficulties on this subject, asking me how I had done to solve the problem. Sorry to disappoint him, I couldn\u2019t. I just refrained it<\/a>.

The problem of the ego<\/h4>\n

It seams impossible to definitively solve the problem of the ego. This is not given to humans, I am afraid. In other times, Jean-Claude Flornoy<\/a> opened the doors of the other world. I owe him this second life that took root in the first, the one my parents gave me. My benefactor<\/a> has found a lot of precious things, a wealth of know-how buried in the mists of time. He passed them on to some of the astral explorers I had the chance to be part of.<\/p>\n

I had already explored the world in search of myself, during my youth. To seek oneself entails a great risk, that of reinforcing one’s ego. Without ego, the human being can not live. With a powerful ego, the human being can not divinize himself. The ego, say the Lamaists, is the only part of ourselves that cannot experience enlightenment.<\/p>\n

The nagual Flornoy told me often, he did well.\u00a0A dominant ego is useful in the material world, it becomes a major handicap in the spiritual world. C. G. Jung<\/a> agreed:<\/p>\n

The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.<\/p>
