Comments on: Personal Development – Is Your Ego Getting In the Way? http://advancedlifeskills.com/blog/personal-development-%e2%80%93-is-your-ego-getting-in-the-way/ Strategies for Positive Change Thu, 24 May 2012 01:09:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John http://advancedlifeskills.com/blog/personal-development-%e2%80%93-is-your-ego-getting-in-the-way/#comment-38068 John Fri, 06 Jan 2012 22:11:34 +0000 http://advancedlifeskills.com/blog/?p=1909#comment-38068 Thanks for the post. So is it then our goal to identify with everything? When we identify with just ourselves or the ones we love, do we expect everyone else in society to conform to us? And when they don't do we experience pain. But it's just out perception because if we identify with everything, then we don't see something as a win/lose, mine/yours situation. Then we begin to see things just as they are, no pain, no plus and minus, no I'm more special than you. When I become everything, there is no more enemy (ego). Thanks for the post.

It's crazy when you really think about it. Humility is a trait of those who are wise and those who will become wise!

Becoming aware of our personal agenda is helping us on our way to integrate the ego so we can relax enough to sink into a deeper reality. From here we know who we are and we know the interconnectedness and one ness of all reality. This provides us with a kinder heart and more peaceful life.
