This is not egoism, although it may turn into that. The me-syndrome is about excessively being entrenched within oneself. The outside world becomes \u2018the alien place.\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are all more or less prone to this. You might recognize some of it within yourself. It\u2019s almost natural \u2014 no badness involved. Yet in an increasingly complex world, the me-syndrome gets more consequential.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Eyes closed, ears closed, mouth closed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more people live as if under a bell jar \u2014 hardly touched in a meaningful way by the outside, minding one\u2019s own business as if it is the only relevant one, acting as if one is responsible for nothing but one\u2019s own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crucial reason is self-protection from a world that appears increasingly more complex, uncontrollable and threatening. Therefore, as long as feasible, \u2018me\u2019 prefers to see nothing, hear nothing, and say nothing, even – if need be – think nothing because \u201cothers must do so since they are xxx.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there is little oxygen in the jar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise said, apart from being scary, it\u2019s also existentially lonely inside. Being with other jars may make people feel even more lonely in quiet desperation and active denial. A set of jars gives only the resemblance of being together. Moreover, hiding oneself – in noisy stuff or otherwise – doesn\u2019t solve anything. It, too, tends to make matters worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, this is not egoism but self-incarceration. The defensive jar becomes a jail. The only solution is to get rid of it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it is mandatory that we grow beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not to be done by leaving nature behind, which leads to burnout and depression. Nature wants \u2018me\u2019 to be validated in any setting \u2014 being it, of course, as a total organism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The me-syndrome is an exaggeration, stemming from homo sapiens\u2019 relatively recent evolution toward consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to go from me to Me. This broadens the jar and makes it gentler at the same time \u2014 hospitable for others. Finally, one may encounter others and Others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the world can become one beautiful jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AURELIS at least brings you the choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes from being acquainted with blogs, books, experiences from workshops, AurelisOnLine sessions, Lisa or human coaching sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is freedom to choose for oneself what is important without the me-turned-into-ego standing in the way of a total-person choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
