Ego & Opponent

Hi there,

How are you enjoying the class? What do you think of expanding our limited thinking from the physical reality or 1% to the spiritual realm or 99%? What do you think of making our desire bigger than serving ourselves to include sharing with others to move from short-term satisfaction to lasting fulfillment? What do you think of being the cause of your life? I think all this sounds great... but doing it? Eek!

I say this because I'm just not sure how I'm going to get my enormous ego in check. I mean, since I can remember, my ego has been the one who has been setting up my goals and big dreams so how do I take my ego out of the driver's seat? I don't know about you but not having my ego in control scares the daylights out of me.

Enough about me. Let's refresh ;)

Disc 7: Ego & Opponent

The ego is not the real you. The ego is the opponent that prevents you from being the cause and instead the effect. The ego's desire for gratification creates chaos in your life and keeps you away from the light. When is the ego present? Whenever we feel reactive. What is the opposite of ego? Humility. Practice humility, defeat the ego and find the light.

Disc 8: Crushing Your Ego

Identify where the ego is driving you to do or not do something. The ego gives instant gratification but what is the long-term effect of those ego-based actions? Does it bring you closer to the light or the dark? Once you see where the ego is acting in your life and the damage it is doing, then that is where you can find it and crush it.

Disc 9: Limitations of Reaction

90% of people do not make a conscious choice about their daily actions; instead, they react to what is happening around them. Wow, right? Live a Reactive Life = Live a Limited Life. Ouch.

I hope you have an easier time at achieving ego-eradication than me!
