Don’t Believe Your Thoughts

The ego is built on a fixed idea that “I am apart from existence.”

The truth is, we cannot be apart from existence, because we are existence itself, only with a form, like a wave of an ocean.

The molecules that were in your body at one time are in my body now and will be in someone else’s body tomorrow.

The ego was only a thought at one time – the first thought “ I am this body.”

And then, with repetitive thoughts meandering over the first thought, the original idea became a belief, and eventually a conviction that no one can break.

To make us look superior to others, the Ego has to work very hard constantly, and it’s not easy- keep finding new relationships, keep trying to maintain ones we have, accumulate more and more, so that people can look up to us, etc.

So, maintaining the Ego becomes a strenuous effort.

It is strenuous because we are going against our own nature, against existence, the very thing we arose from, and still are fed by – the awareness.

It’s like a wave denying its own origin from the ocean; like a child denying the motherhood of his own mother.

And that’s why Ego = Suffering.

Spirituality is all about realizing our true all-inclusive nature, because that makes sense; that is the real wisdom, instead of living a frustrating life of exclusivity ( Ego ), or worse, dying in one.
