4. How should a spiritual aspirant think about ego based feelings and how does the Action Path affect them as an aspirant transforms through time?
An aspirant should understand that these ego based feelings will never bring you any happiness and will actually lead you towards more misery in life. The more you practice Maat the more peaceful you will become which happens in stages and you will eventually in stages be able to go beyond these thoughts and feelings and see the correct action to perform. We will be able to understand that these ego based thoughts that we have been taught that are so real and abiding are self created and act as chains that bind you the negative results of those thoughts. An aspirant should be confident that in time they can wash away all the ignorance with the liquor of Maat. Through the practice of Maat in time we should be able to see that we can become one with Maat and all of creation through a life of righteous action in thought, word and deed.
