Our behavior, words and actions, is not intelligent. By that I mean the vehicle of expression is mechanical in nature.
The Ego has control over these mechanics using them to
express itself. Said ego is always at war, fighting something, convincing,
controlling (even in a negative way), game playing, and the like.
As we begin to grow spiritually, the ego is softened because
the energy that circulates through it is slowly is purified. The wallflower
slowly speaks. The boisterous become less noisy. The crowd pleaser becomes genuine.
The ego, still expressing itself, finds there is less to express.
When the higher faculties become active, and having witnessed
the proceeding the ego expresses itself in reverse. Internally, it begins to control
by stating that anything expressed is of itself and therefore of little consequence,
a failure of the spirit to supersede the lower nature. This attempt to control
is a final gasp.
Eventually, one learns the following.
The ego expresses itself.
The less ego there is, the less the expression.
The soul overwhelms the ego when the ego has been
sufficiently lessoned.
The soul expresses itself then through the vehicle of the
ego.
The ego either uses the energy of life or becomes a conduit
for it. It’s desire always the former, its true function the latter.
