Can Faith in Higher Purpose Balance Ego in Education?

This is an interesting take about the power of faith in a higher force. It doesn't need to be only a religious thing though but it's all about putting more focus on something bigger than ourselves than on our little existence. It's again the soul (higher self, higher purpose, God) vs the Ego (self-protection, fear, greed, ...). Both play their role in our evolution. We can't evolve if we don't survive long enough. Balance is where Truth and change are and we are in a time where the balance is completely broken towards the little me. It's paradoxical in a way because we are safer than ever but it's also logical because the ego can only be tuned down through rough experience that we survive. We don't have rough experiences so we live mostly in imaginary risks that we need to be protected against. The perfect tool of manipulation against us by the powers that were and are struggling to survive the collecting awakening.
