The view of the ego is life looking only at ground level but for the one who rises to a higher point of view..... brings rise to a greater perception of life!

..."The view of the ego is life looking only at ground level, but for the one who rises to a higher point of view, brings rise to a greater perception of life! Everyone can see this just by riding in a airplane, the higher you go, what once appeared as separate independent individuals, disappears into the collective view from above. Which view is correct? Both of course, but its all a matter of how we SEE and perceive reality through our EYE. From a higher view, one can SEE the patterns which influence daily life, as there are unseen forces at ground level which serve as our platform for expansion or decay, and this can be seen as the rise and fall of conflicts and experiences we FEEL on a daily level. Great mystics and sages will say, think of the cells in your blood, there is a brilliant battle going on in there, a constant struggle and fight, cells fighting other cells, but without all of that going on, there would not be this harmony we call Life! To the one who resists the fire of conflicts, and fails to learn the lessons that life brings on a daily level, only finds themselves burning back down into the ground as ashes. Yet for the one who can learn from these lessons, can rise from the ashes just as the Phoenix, with a heart filled with fire and passion, ready to soar beyond the view of the limited ego and into the heavens above!" ~Alistar Valadez...
