Ego is the obsessive grip on a thought-pattern or cognitive schema that is not right or wrong, per se....
but something that needs to be expanded or changed.
Ego is i am this role, I am this beleif.
Ego is trying to control.
Ego is staying in a situation that is no longer for your highest good or the highest good of others
Ego is if I let go
I will fail.
i will lose
I will not be who I was.
Ego is forcing one's truth on others,
Ego is the denial of your truth
Ego is allowing others to take your power
because you will not take responsibility for your life.
Ego is swimming against the current of a river, instead of floating.
When ego goes reiki flows.
If ego doesent go, the reiki will kick yo heiney.

ego is based on the fear of the unknowable, an attempt of supression of the shadow.
Humans kill what they fear.

Ego is a construct, created by humans
a jumble of letters created to describe
a spiritual condition that has been attemped to be defined
by many people, most of whom disagree on the true meaning of
the word, and cannot agree on a definition.

We are subjective, we are biased.
I am subjective I am biased.
It is the human condition.
