On Freeing Oneself from Ego

You don't ever get rid of the ego and its identification with life on the dirtball, you just don't give it a whole lot of credence, your relationship to it changes. You allow it to do whatever it is doing because it too is a part of the experience. If there's fear, great, allpw the fear to be, if there is sadness, have the sadness. Resistance in this too is pointless and only causes suffering.

  1. And so why do we keep resisting when we know it is pointless? Learning to let go is so hard and yet so worth while for those moments when I learn the lesson. If only I didn't forget it so rapidly.
