Understanding Your Ego - Alan Watts

This man's delivery was on another planet... His capacity to pick the perfect word, the perfect sentence for every situation and intent is astonishing.

There's no greater feeling than finally defeating your own ego; and no greater illusion than believing you've done so.

In nature there is no knower. There’s just knowing.

"The ego is mankind's worst invention" *Terence McKenna.

It's all happening without your permission or effort. Observe and know, you also are happening.... Enjoy yourself as you are.... Be quiet and let yourself be who you already are.... You!... Perfect 👍

I am that I Am... I'm not my mind... I'm not my body.. . I am the Universe I Am...

God is a knower & you are the knowing

An awesome saying I saw on facebook one day… “relax nothing is in control”

Wow….. this is what I have been looking for !!!

Awesome! Thanks to the creator!

Life is an illusion, …….love isn’t. 🙏🏻

"The ego exists through friction. Have an ideal, and you will become an egoist. The idealist is an egoist. Have a bigger ideal, and you will be a bigger egoist. The greater the ideal, the greater the ego, because the greater is the friction. The ego is created by friction between the real and the ideal. Now you may have the ideal of egolessness – that doesn't matter. You may say, "But I have the ideal of being egoless" – it does not matter, the ideal brings the ego. Now your idea of egolessness will bring great ego. So the real egoists are those who think they are humble people, who pretend that they are egoless. "The man who is egoless is the man who has no ideals. Let this be the criterion, and you have stumbled upon a fundamental. The man of no ego is the man of no ideals. Then how can the ego be created? – the very energy is missing. The energy comes out of friction, conflict, struggle, will. "When you accept your life – when you take your breakfast, and when you sleep and when you walk and when you take your bath – how can you create an ego out of these things? Sleeping when feeling sleepy, eating when feeling hungry, how can you create your ego? No, if you fast, you can create ego. If you are on a vigilance for the whole night, and you say, "I am not going to sleep," you can create the ego. By the morning, the person who has slept well will have no ego, you will have a great ego."

The biggest ego trip is to get rid of your ego. How can I get rid of the wrong me? You can't. Ego doesn't exist. This is joyous news! You are the eternal energy like Jesus. When you see what I is, you realize there is no method. You are your thoughts and feelings. There is no controller. It is all happening. It is who you really are, by spontaneous occurrence. You can't control your mind. Your desire to get rid of desire is nonsense. Subject is a thing. Verb is a process. How can a thing start a process? Nature is just knowing.
