Postscript
(Ego):
"From time to time,
ego
will reign supreme anyway regardless of any attempts to demote its
tyranny.
When you're lit up by
ego
like
a hundred watt
lightbulb,
just don't deny it. Tell the truth about it. Be authentic about it.
As soon as you tell the truth about
ego,
you've reinstated the being in charge, rather than
ego
being in charge. The oft touted
mystical notion
that
ego
should be destroyed or purged or even
fixed
is simply evidence of being unclear on the concept.
Ego
is as much a critical, essential, natural component of our human
structure as an arm or a leg. The appropriate relationship to have
with
ego
is to own it and to be responsible for it."
... excerpt from
Conversations For Transformation
#120: Ego
Note: when I refer to
"ego",
it's as a verb (ie to
ego)
the way
Werner
deploys it, not as a noun (ie the
ego)
the way it's colloquially deployed.
