What Happens When You Only Pursue Pleasure - Alan Watts


“A powerful spiritual practice is consciously to allow the diminishment of ego when it happens without attempting to restore it.” - ECKHART TOLLE 🙏🏽☀️💜
Phoebus Apollo
Sigmund Freud defined the ego as "that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world" and the id is the "primal instinctive part of us which wants to achieve pleasure at any costs". Saying goodbye to the ego may allow the id to run riot leading to constant instant gratification. Any new age guru telling you to lose your ego is a danger to himself and society which is the chief requisite of a mental health section under the Mental Health Act in the UK.
