The human ego likes to pretend that evil exists "out there " and seduces its hapless, innocent self into inadvertently falling into the trap of seduction .the real tempter is the ego's desire for gain--whether that be sensation ,excitement, advantage,prestige, or the pleasure of controlling others.
from--《Dissolving the EGO realizing the SELF》
人类的EGO喜欢伪装邪恶存在于“外面(外在)”,诱使不幸的、纯真的自我不经意间落入诱惑的陷阱。真正的诱惑者是EGO对利益的渴望--无论为了赢得感觉、兴奋、优势、声望,或者控制他人的快乐。
我理解ego 喜欢伪装邪恶在外在,这里说道了一个受害者的意识,其实就是在说是外在害了我,引诱了我,我是无辜的,而其真正的原因都是在于内在,内心对于desire的渴望,永远都想要掩盖。永远是别人的问题,其实本身就是自己的贪婪而已。
