EGO: Is it the new Satan?

You cannot read a paragraph of New Age or New Thought information without finding the word Ego in there somewhere. The Ego is thought—by so many teachers, even master teachers—to be the enemy. It is that part of us that wants us to fail, that wants us to be unloving, unkind and inconsiderate, to be afraid and to live inauthentically. In that way that old Ego sounds a whole lot like that old devil, Beelzebub, Iblis, Shaitan, the Dragon, the Serpent, Abaddon, Belial, the father of this world, the god of all lies, Lucifer, etc. This idea of the Ego has us believing that we must fight against it. But wouldn't this mean that Ego fights Ego? Surely the divine doesn't need to fight, right? What if we've misunderstood? What if the Ego is just a liaison between the inner and outer worlds? Wouldn't fighting it then mean losing that liaison? Is it possible that this view of Ego is but another dualistic stance serving only to keep us unaware of our true nature? Don't miss this life-changing show.
