A definition of ego might be helpful. Some things I can think of that, depending on your definition, are either additional parts of man or parts of the ego:

Body
Will
Sensory Perceptions
Memory
Imagination
Emotional Faculties
Rational Faculties

I can see how some of these may be equivalent or highly related to one another - just throwing out some ideas.

Nor must any synechist say, “I am altogether myself, and not at all you.” If you embrace synechism, you must abjure this metaphysics of wickedness. In the first place, your neighbors are, in a measure, yourself, and in far greater measure than, without deep studies in psychology, you would believe. Really, the selfhood you like to attribute to yourself is, for the most part, the vulgarest delusion of vanity.

Usefulness. Every man has his function in society, und when he fills that Role he becomes truly whom he was meant to be. One man does not becomme fullfilled by feeding his own Ego, he becomes the Whole by being a part of a greater good. Work, work, until the day you die, for ot gives you purpose.

I am self employed. I love what I do, I work 60 hours on an easy week. My employees work even more than I do and I pay EVERY one of them overtime. I don't want to ever retire evn though I make 1M a year before taxes and after expenses.

But there's nothing to do on my days off besides read. I've read nearly every book there is to read. Ich habe auch Deutsch gelernen zum gelessen fremder Buchs. I'm learning Spanish and French as we speak, and I used to be fluent in Norwegian.

I don't give a fuck. I've exhausted all my hobbies. I've torn apart my car and repaired it mutliple times, I've learned C, C++, made a motion activated flusher with Arduino, studied Analysis and Combinatorics, my bench max is 350 lbs, etc. There's literally nothing ledt for me to do but expand my business, and that makes me happy, it keeps my mind occupied.

Video games just don't cut it for me anymore, not challenging enough. Right now I'm studying law and trying to find some legal loopholes for my business. This takes up about half of my workday but I don't mind, it's fucking thrilling and I feel badass doing it, as cringey as this sounds. I love my business a d even better all of my kids are interested in taking it over after I croak.

The ego is illusory, it is a product of our conciousness trying to ground us as "thinking-living-beings" in the world. The way our ego forms is simply that of a lotusflower, in the beginning there is a kernel, experiences and things impacting you bring a "layer" over the kernel. The kernel grows, the layers are your response to that which you see, in the end if you scale it down you will find the kernel gone, as the ego is simply the result of our impact with a living breathing world.

Nah, I need activity and change. Idleness just doesn't cut it for me. There's no point to it philosophically, might as well just be a inorganic rock if you don't want to create something or take on some challenge, it's the same thing. I gave up all alcohol when I stopped sampling as a hobby. I do smoke a shit ton but the best part is I grow my own tobacco and wrap my own sticks.

Even when I'm idle, like I am now, I feel the need to do something like post on 4sham. I also whittle from time to time. I'm gonna start taking pics when I get good at it and hopefully join the rank of imageposters here.

Then you should do what makes you happy. For me, it's not even about the money. It's about fulfilling a purpose, and the challemge and mental stimulation it provides. I'm a sick fuck because I'm probably the only business owner that cheers when more regulations are enacted, because it gives me the challenge of finding loopholes. I love constant fighting, I love eternal struggle. This is what I was born for, do what makes you happy. Jedem das Seine.

Yeah to escape the wrath of the church, the same way they lynched Galileo, he wrote a bunch of kiss ass bullshit to the jew god YHWH and the church used that as proof that "SEE???? Even the smart nerds believe in god what's your excuse????"
