I often still feel worn out by the ego’s game of charades. I remind myself that if the recognizing is happening at all, I’m on my way towards peace. Of course the ego even high jacks the recognizing and wants it immediately, and therein lies the current “problem”. I can recall the days where I never recognized and was stuck in a state of ongoing fear. I’m grateful to find myself beyond that mode of thinking. I’m reminded of an Alan Watts quote, “You find out that the universe is a system that creeps up on itself and says 'Boo' and then laughs at itself for jumping.” Somedays are easier to laugh than others and when I’m not grasping it is down right hilarious. Much love and thank you for your writings. I really enjoy reading them.
Great insights, Candace. Ego is essential for personal growth and leadership. But in too large doses, it can become toxic. TY, Candace.
Thanks, John! Appreciate you reading and commenting.
