PAULO: Good afternoon, sports fans. I am Paulo here to play a [[game]] of [[skill]] or [[chance]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping-pong ping-pong] perhaps, wherein we may be amused and [[entertained]] and [[practice]] our craft, our skill and dexterity, and isn't this exactly what life is about in one way or another? [[Becoming]] adept in the [[art of living]] such that a life is an extended [[athletic]] event encased in a [[prayerful]] estate? We had quite a few pieces of paper flying around with one question or another on it and I seem to have lost the folder. My [[transmitter]] is ineffectual, as I have her brain locked up and I can't get her to help me find where I put the file, but I am sure these questions that are posed are ones that can wait their turn. Oh, yes! There was one about, "We can talk to Paulo about it when a group in its locomotion begins to move into an [[erroneous]] [[direction]]." Is that something you want me to undertake? Or was that for your own amusement?

THOROAH: Yes, Paulo. I'm interested in something I [[read]] recently about the [[ego]], which in my perception indicated that the ego is not an [[entity]] nor a spirit but it is more of a [[function]] that takes pictures or records the [[event]]s of our [[consciousness]] and assists us in [[interpreting]] what goes on around us. The lesson, to me, was that our ego is basically the framework through which we view things, offering us the [[evidence]] upon which we base our [[decisions]]. It isn't so much that our ego wants to run our lives as much as it is the ego which most affects our lives, because if our ego sees things a certain way, be it right or wrong, we respond to its [[perceptions]]. So it would seem that the more we hold [[the Father Fragment]] light up to the ego, the better the ego can see, and thus give us a better picture of life and sounder reasons upon which to base our [[decisions]]. Those are some of the things that I read that I perceive, and I was wondering if you might want to add to this aspect of our lives, this ego thing, and [[enlighten]] us as to how better to perceive it and to manage it.

PAULO: I will be glad to [[discourse]] with you in regard to this [[topic]] that is close to you, and which indeed does give [[insight]] into the study of [[movements]] by a recognition and [[study]] of the [[influences]] of the egos involved. Let's have one of those cute things E28093 the E-G-O. One movement I am familiar with likes to reference EGO as the state of mind and being that ''Edges God Out''. Edging God Out (EGO) is the [[origin]] of that arrogant and obnoxious [[interjection]] of [[artificial]] reality that gives birth to [[movements]] like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinheads Skinheads] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism Nazis], [[racist]] groups or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexism sexist] groups that do not consider the deity aspects of life but rather base their [[interpretations]] of right and wrong on the skeleton that is left after they have Edged God Out. And on the other hand, EGO gives rise to Exalting God's Order, Enjoying Godlike Organization, but the [[Father Fragment]] is a part of the identification of the new-found appreciation for ego as that essential spiritual skeleton enhanced by an ego which is able to [[function]] and find [[balance]] in its movement and thus egos are important in any given movement and its [[development]]. There must be [[leadership]] in order for these movements to take place. The [[Teaching Mission]] has enjoyed the [[autonomy]] of the [[cult]] which appoints [[authority]] in the realm of the Creator or [[the Prince]] or his [[teaching staff]], thus these non-corporeal authority figures allow for the movement to enjoy a rather [[ego]]-less existence, but it is comprised of individuals who have varying degrees of [[effective]] egos which are finding themselves flowering under the [[tutelage]] of these invisible [[mentors]] such that [[manifest]] Enhanced Godlike (you don't have enough "o" words in your language) Odor!

So yes, in many ways, that which you purport is true. The [[ego]] is not a [[personality]] or a [[spirit]] but a composite framework of [[thought]], [[perception]], conditioning and the like which provides a [[hologram]] through which you may represent your essential [[godlike]] origin, even as it is in the process of Enlarging Glorified Objectives. It's very easy to see the blowhard ego of old whose [[popularity]] was often profitable but also relatively short-lived, for unless egos are stoked like a coal furnace, they burn out and some egos require so much fuel to keep themselves flaming, they [[alienate]] all of their [[associates]], and so the fire fizzles and sputters and goes out. All of you have a framework to operate from and with. All of you thus have [[egos]]. And by your fruits you shall be known as to how your ego stacks up in [[comparison]] to others. It's virtually impossible to get anything accomplished without an ego. Even with God doing everything for you, it is still [[necessary]] for you to go through the footwork, the paces. You have to get dressed and brush your teeth. You have to step out of the house. By and large [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana nirvana] does not come to your door like Avon calling and make itself at [[home]] in your [[heart]] without a commotion. Your ego, your [[configuration]], your structuring, your conditioning, your [[background]], your [[beliefs]], etc, etc, are disinclined to be disrupted to make way for new [[paradigms]]. All of you want to give your stamp of approval on all the [[changes]] that come down the pike that are going to affect you, and this is very time consuming but it is also a very natural and [[healthy]] part of normal healthy egos.

Getting back now to [[Movements]]. Movements come into being when several people think a similar thought ([[like-minded]]) and the [[energy]] of the group [[configuration]] gives rise to stimuli that might lend itself to movement, to a sense of advancement, to an accomplishment. If this is a sport, an event, an [[organization]], a [[religion]], a [[fad]], a technological advance, it impacts on all those it [[touches]] and if it has effective [[leadership]] will impact even more people and in the results, which are set out in the beginning, in the by-laws of the movement, in its [[statement]] of [[purpose]], essential goal orientation is met, and this is [[satisfying]] to the creature.
