Ego

You will discover the answer to the fundamental question, Who Am I? only when you have overcome the obstacles that ego uses to trip you up. Ego may be a very small word, but it is has an enormous impact in life. The ego does not want you to change, it wants to keep you imprisoned in the past. It is a cruel and deceptive judge, feeding on your fear, and keeping you from your true depth. It is the enemy of the soul mind, driven by the illusions of the external world – wealth, statue, appearances, competition, etc. The logic of the body mind is easily manipulated by the ego, working to keep you in a limited life. The nature of the soul is truth, permanence and bliss, whereas the nature of the mind operating from ego is illusion, impermanence and suffering.
