Ego

Ego Authority is rare. The will is the Inner Authority. Not the conditioned ego of self-importance, but the mechanical will: the genuine desire of the self. "Do I actually want this? Does my will move toward this?" The question is not "Should I want this?" or "Is this the reasonable choice?" The question is: "Do I want this? What does my will say?" The Ego speaks through desire and through the material. When the will moves toward something, the direction is clear. When it does not, no amount of reasoning will sustain the commitment.
