The Egoic Trap

You may still experience scars or wounds from past pain. You may experience it as the pain body inside you. But the pain body is not who you are. It is an imic accumulation of past emotional pain to make it into who you are and then forming a narrative on the basis of the pain body can happen very easily. Andcan, even if it's collective rather than personal, you can even get a great sense of belonging. Not only that, you're also condemned, especially if it's a collective victim identity, in making other groups of people into your enemy. So there are millions of people who still fall into this trap, egoic trap.
