Every ‘Ego’ has an ‘Ism’. Every Self has a belief system. Egoism is the belief system of an Individual Self.
My Egoism is the belief system of my Self. It is my belief in my Self. My self belief.
Egotism is the negative belief system that I see reflected in another. It is the belief in the negative attributes of egotism that sees the ego as a negative entity. Religious egotists see self belief as a negative attribute.
The ego is my individual sense of physical self and every Individual’s sense of Self. Whether the ego is good or bad, positive or negative, beneficial or detrimental, is a perspective based on the individual beliefs of that ego self.
A wise perspective never sees itself as a negative entity. Indeed, it requires wisdom to see the positive aspects of the ego Self and to see the ego as a positive entity.
It is a positive sense of self that sees the ego as a benign entity and it is a negative sense of self that sees the ego as malign. To see my Self from a positive perspective requires myself to be in a positive emotional state of being.
Who my ego is, is relative to who I believe my Self to be. Egoism is therefore a subjective perspective based on an Individual’s belief system.
An objective view of the ego, sees the egotism of other people’s behaviour.
A subjective view of the ego, sees my own egoism as being relative to my own belief system.
A corrupt belief system sees a corrupt sense of Self. A negative belief system sees a negative sense of Self. A pure & true belief system sees a true Self in alignment with a pure Soul.
My true Self aligns with the purity of my Soul Essence. The essence of the Soul is a pure ego sense of Self.
When my sense of Self is limited to my five physical senses, I have only a physical sense of myself. My conscious sense of physical self is driven by my sub-consciously programmed belief system. My sub-conscious id drives the programmed behaviour of my conscious ego. Corruptions in the sub-conscious programming cause corruptions in the conscious sense of ego self.
The core beliefs of my super-conscious entity empower a pure conscious egoism, in alignment with my Soul’s Ideals. Ideally, a pure ego requires a pure belief system to enable my egoism to be ideal.
I can only see my true egoism intuitively. My intuitive sense of Self reveals the true potential of my own Ego. The intellectual reasoning of a flawed belief system sees my egotism reflected in the negative behaviour of other people.
