Por que psicologia e espiritualidade parecem discordar sobre o ego?

Psychology and spirituality use the word ego with opposite meanings, and this confusion generates more suffering than most people realize. Psychology wants to take care of the ego. Spirituality wants to destroy it. This apparent contradiction about the ego has a precise explanation, and it changes everything. In this video, I show why psychology and spirituality seem to disagree about the ego, and why, in fact, they are talking about different things with the same word. Psychology works with the ego as the set of definitions we construct about ourselves. Self-esteem, self-image, self-concept. When these thoughts limit us, therapy revises them, adjusts them, strengthens them. The goal is for you to function better in the world. Spirituality points to something else. When the great masters talk about destroying the ego, they are not proposing that you cease to exist as a person. They are pointing to the confusion between thoughts and reality. You are not the thoughts that pass through you. You are what observes them. This confusion, taking thoughts for absolute reality, is what prevents the deep peace that is independent of any circumstance. The two approaches don't contradict each other. They complement each other. The more you organize the ego through psychological work, the easier it becomes to recognize that part of you that is silent, that is stable, that is already well. And it is in this integration that life becomes truly rich. Which of these two approaches were you already more familiar with? Leave a comment. If someone close to you also experiences this tension between psychology and spirituality, share this video with them. This video is part of the series: Psychology X Spirituality.
