The concept of ego boundary in the spiritual growth

睡觉前的一些想法，实在兴奋，贴上来，看得懂的人就看吧，关于爱的

The concept of ego boundary is very important in the human’s spiritual development. Every human has a spirit from the same divine spirit—the God who created our flesh and gave us his spirit. Our spirit longs to be with him and be united with him again even we have this flesh body. So, our life in the earth and in this flesh body is trying to find the way back to be connected to that source spirit again. We try every way to find the way back to God’s spirit. During this process, we firstly found that our ego is bounded by our flesh and we will know our identity and our body limitation. Secondly, we try to extend our ego or spirit by merging ourself into this world. The main reason that we are trying to merge into this world is because the whole world is created by God and we can feel that kind of attachment through merging ourself into this world. The ways to merge into this world are many, for example, developing a hobby like gardening, loving others, friendships with others, raising up a children, go online and chat with others. The kind of bluring and merging with others will let the individual human feel that he is attached with the world or the source of the spirit—God himself. Sometimes, people manifest this kind of merging into the world through loving others. No matter this kind of loving is real or not, they think that they love others.

Real love actually does not limit the other’s spiritual growth but to nurture the other’s spiritual growth. It’s because of this reason that falling into love, romantic love, or purely dependence on others are not real love because they actually limit the loved one’s spiritual growth. True love relationship nurtures the spiritual growth with each other in a mutual way.
