Theme: Spiritual seekers are quite concerned about "ego". It seems to be the “bad guy” in the spiritual search, the thing that must “die” in order to be liberated. But what is it? Is it real? Is there really a solid little self sitting inside your skin, thinking your thoughts, feeling your feelings, searching for truth, striving to improve, trying to “be present,” judging the world, and separate from the wholeness of being?
Please join Dorothy Hunt for this exploration of our belief in an “ego,” what we perceive to be a “self,” and the deeper truth of what lies beyond our conditioned ideas. Awareness makes “ego” transparent when we are curious and devoted to the truth of who or what we are.
The ego is like one’s shadow thrown on the ground.
If one attempts to bury it, it will be foolish.
--Ramana Maharshi
