By now you are probably wondering:

"Why do I have an EGO and what earthly good does it do for me?"

And that is a good question, as my immediate response when I learnt it years ago, was to get out my hand drill and drill the little sucker out of my brain!

Don't think I wasn't tempted by the idea!

Thankfully I came around to my senses and hopefully there will be enough useful information in these articles that you will not even contemplate the idea!

But I digress.

Back to our story.

More on the EGO so that we are equipped to know how to transcend it.

Firstly, we need to recognise that blind and unchecked IDENTIFICATION with the EGO, always gives rise to an inherently false picture of reality.

So it is not the EGO that is the problem, it is our IDENTIFICATION with what the EGO is telling and goading us to think, feel and do, that is the culprit!

The EGO says, "You are not good enough to become successful!"

You: "Yup, that's me!"

The EGO says: "That was a stupid mistake you made , you loser!"

You: "Yes I am, and my dad always told me that."

Need I say more?

The EGO falsely convinces us that we are filled with fear, separate from our true nature, from others and everything.

The sages of old, (and new), told us this is an illusion and has no truth to it.

Quantum Physics tells us the same.

Are you convinced yet?
