Dealing with the Ego
August 2nd, 2007 by Pete
“One day I will be free of the ego.” Who is talking? The ego. To become free of the ego’s control is not really a big job, but a very small one.
All you need to do is be aware of your thoughts and emotions — as they happen. This is not really a doing, but an alert seeing. In that sense, it is true that there is nothing you can do to become free of the ego’s domination.
When that shift happens, which is the shift from thinking to awareness, an intelligence far greater than the ego’s cleverness begins to operate in your life. Emotions and even thoughts become depersonalized through awareness.
You are the light of Presence, the awareness that is prior to and deeper than any thoughts and emotions.
