" The ego is always on guard against any kind of perceived diminishment. " When someone blames or criticizes me, that to the ego is a diminishment of self, and it will immediately attempt to repair its diminished sense of self through self-justification, defense or blaming. " Tolle continues on with this suggestion: " A powerful spiritual practice is consciously to allow the diminishment of the ego when it happens without trying to restore it. " His suggestion is to " do nothing " when the ego begins to feel attacked. If practiced, " you realize that nothing real has been diminished, that through becoming " less, " you become more. " By becoming less, " you in fact undergo an expansion and make room for Being to come forward.
