Use Your Ego to Rise Above Life and Death
The wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t tell us to decrease our egos, but how to use them correctly.
We can advance only by the cruel egoistic desires of this world and beyond it: the desires to attain, to understand, to ascend above life and death. A person who suppresses his ego cannot advance.
Therefore, we don’t restrict our egoistic actions. On the contrary, the more the ego pushes us, the better.
It turns out that if we become greater egoists, we understand how to use our ego in a new more efficient way, and we don’t enjoy in it but above it.
