We live in an illusory ego world. We make believe what matters and who cares. We imagine ourselves far more important than we are in all the wrong ways and totally miss our actual importance as living spirits with deep intuitive wisdom and endless love and compassion to share with the world. We are blocked by the the surface of things and blind to our internal light...
Unless we sense it and make an effort to awaken; unless we heed the call to see rightly and take the time to quiet our restless minds. Then, we have a chance. Then, we realize things, and are able to drop our fear- not forever- we pick it up again, but for a bit. The ego comes back and comes back, but we learn to recognize it and understand its agenda and not be blindly manipulated by its cagey charms. And we can stay longer and longer in truth and authenticity. We can witness the ego at work with amused curiosity. We can watch it and know it for exactly what it is. And we can learn to live beyond it and above it. We can find a way to be free.
I get caught and hooked and tangled all up in my ego. But I can dis-entangle, and learn to recognize the bait.
