A great majority of people can't handle reality yet.

The biggest threat to the ego is the truth of reality and that is "We just are". The truth is that we are just BEING. This is the peace of I AM. We just exist simply. The ego is threatened by this because it sounds so simple, but the truth is that it is more complicated than any of us here can possibly imagine. This is the truth and peace of existence. This is true fulfillment.

I agree. The "Illuminati" are using egoistic desires in Mainstream everyday things to keep us in a "whats in it for me" state. Most of us here on ATS are still in this state, i have just began to leave it.
Take a look at my most recent post.
Heres what i have come to learn about Ego.
Based on 5 senses, its insinct, and its for survival.
Well, we don't really need that anymore since we have risen above our nature physically. and yes, now its time to do it mentally. To do this, we must get rid of our nature, by rising above it. I am accomplishing it by getting rid of my previous wants and desires and replacing them with the need to give. its the only way i find that works, really really works. and the feedback from good ol' cosmos, or law of attraction, or god, so on, is amazing. $100 000 amazing. although, when you go through this sort of change, you can't help but give the money away.
EDIT:Just read jordans post. i agree, its not the "illuminati" (which is why i bunny eared it) but rather all of us. We are all the Illuminati. We are all the enlightened ones. we just have to realize it.

Yeah i have a pretty hard time communicating my goals and ideas with everyone. it really sucks sometimes, it gets to you pretty bad. i guess i am a mature, not yet an old soul.
