Ram Dass once said: "Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it." In this episode, we keep the focus of our attention on the ego and how it operates. We do this because we've learned that the most direct way of disidentifying with the ego is to observe it in operation. Where does it operate? In your field of consciousness: in your mind.
In the previous episode, we explored the nature of the ego and how it operates. In this episode, we'll explore how to deal with it. What can I do to free myself from ego? This is the question we'll try to answer. We'll use an excerpt from a Buddhist scripture called 'The Way of The Bodhisattva' to explore one simple practice for dealing with the ego.
We'll dive into how self-observation can help dissolve the ego, opening a deeper dimension within us. Our conversation extends to the transformative power of meditation and mindfulness, and how these practices can help us reconnect with our inner selves.
