Developing a social memory complex

[Anders]

The beast ego is a sadistic energy vampire. That's not a very flattering description, haha. But it's true! It's an energy vampire because the beast stream is constantly sucking energy from the beast ego, so in an attempt to get more energy it seeks to suck energy from others. And the beast ego is sadistic because it operates on a win-lose principle. When others succeed it's painful for the beast ego and when others fail that's experienced as pleasure.

This means that when we try to serve other beast egos we are just supporting and strengthening their dysfunction. Not good. And we are then also hypocrites if we ourselves are operating from the beast ego, because then it's a phony facade of being service to others.

So what to do? It seems like a horrible situation. In principle it's actually simple. When we feel genuinely good when others succeed then that's freedom from the beast ego, unless we feel good for egoistic reasons. That kind of genuine good feeling is the foundation for a service-to-others social memory complex.
