Las Vegas Personal Development Institute – Living Outside of Your Mind

One of the main lessons that Soke Draconis always taught me was not to only live inside of my head, but rather to move my ability to create to the outside and change things around so that there is congruency.  Soke Draconis and I were having a conversation outside the Las Vegas Personal Development Institute about congruency.  The point that Soke really wanted to make to me on this beautiful summer day was the fact that most people live without congruency in their life and that this creates a major problem.  When I asked Soke why this was so he took a big long drink of his ice cold tea, softly rubbed his goatee with his left hand and looked around the environment at the trees that had been softly blowing at the tops when out of nowhere he said, “Ego.”  I glanced at the Las Vegas Personal Development Institute and then to the ground for a minute as I saw an ant carrying something that was about three times his size as the wind softly blew through my hair I asked Soke, “In its simplest terms, what is ego?”  Soke leaned into me and revealed, “The easiest explanation I believe is lack of congruency.”  I wasn’t quite sure what he meant and had to ask, “What do you mean by lack of congruency?”

“Basically, Brady, many people who have overinflated egos are out of balance with themselves.  This means that what they think they are in their own mind they can’t produce in the tangible physical world, so they create facades to put up around them so they don’t have to deal with the lack of congruency they are experiencing between their thoughts about themselves and the results they can actually produce in the physical objective reality.  You can’t just look at someone and say that this person has an ego just because they brag about themselves, or talk about the things they can do because ego becomes tricky if you are trying to make another live up to your standards or life philosophy since then you are judging their ego by your ego.  Therefore, I think it is better to say look for the inconsistencies and the incongruencies in a person’s life and you will see the ego they have created from.  They will fight and argue with you ferociously if you bring something to their attention that they can’t produce in physical reality, but believe they can in their own subjective reality.  There you have ego – someone asserting a subjective reality they cannot produce or prove and the objective reality.  The subjective and the objective are incongruent.”

I thought for a brief moment about what Soke had just shared with me before I responded, “I know a lot of people like that, Soke.  In fact, that’s just about everyone I’ve ever met.”  “Yes, Brady, I too have met many people like this, however, it’s best not to preach at them so don’t get on top your soap box, instead offer them some free classes to Creotology Personal Development, hand them a brochure and let them experience it for themselves through the exercises that Creotology provides.  You will find that will do the trick.”  Soke and I both took a drink of our iced tea, leaned back on our bench and continued to enjoy the day.
