I want to start a comment thread about Ego and Essence. I want to hear if you guys have any "ah-ha" moments as you try to implement it into your life. (Quick background: Ego is the external you, the worldly, prideful, offense taking, defensive, insecure, depressed, worried, angry side of you. Essence is who you have always been, the divine son/daughter of God.)
One thing I realized tonight is that Ego feeds on the energy of conflict, complaints, and worries. Without that food, Ego becomes depressed.
I think I find things to worry about or I pick a fight because I feel depressed and need the energy from tackling another "crisis". I have a lot of practice ahead of me to just be... and just be happy. Whether there are problems to tackle or not.
Anyone learn something about themselves?
