Being Physical is being egotistical.
My ego is my physical sense of Self.
Being egotistical is believing that I am a physical body living a physical existence in a physical world.
My ego has a choice of being egotistical or spiritual.
With full awareness of my spirituality, I have no need to be egotistical.
Disconnected from my Source, I am reliant on my physical senses to survive the dual realities of physical life.
Without awareness, my focus will be on my survival and my safety, security & comfort.
Being safe, secure & comfortable in pursuit of propagating my genes appears to be the best that I can achieve from a purely physical perspective.
There is more to life than just my physical perspective.
