Sensing the ego

[Guest guest]

Can you notice that when you react to anything, whatever you do, it

is almost always your conditioning at work? It is 'your' knowledge.

It is 'your' ideas. It is 'your' convictions. This is the ego in you.

I am not saying that your knowledge, opinions, and feelings about

things are wrong, I just say that they are conditionings. It is the

whole *feeling* of 'you' I am describing as being the ego. You can

notice this ego for example when you write a post, it is 'your' post

and you have to defend it so you better make it look good. *Who* is

the one that wants the post to be good. That's the ego! There is

nothing wrong with knowing what is good and what is bad, but the

conditioning in you makes you tense, contracted and defensive. That

is the ego. You have to let go of that emotional/mental fist

called 'me'. Why? Because you must wake up! The ego is not who you

are. Well, the ego is a part of you yes, but you can loosen up that

part a bit, loosen up the knot called 'you'. Why? Because the 'you'

is a prison cell. You can decorate and think about this prison cell

for the rest of your life, but it will remain a prison cell. Smash

the cell. Smash it gently to dust.
