Discovering
the spirit in Everyday Life
Let’s take a problem we all experience and look at it through the lens of the ego: traffic.
You’re angry! Raging and fuming, you make every mistake imaginable. You damage your own health and destroy your own relationships, but you can’t stop. The emotion is simply too strong.
“I have no energy”; “I feel hopeless”; “He hurt my feelings”; “I need time for myself”; “I can’t stand her”; “I’m comfortable with this”; “I’m scared of what’s coming.”
In Ego’s house, Mr. Intellect and Mrs. Emotion, Sit watching the news with devoted devotion. Intellect listens to experts, draws conclusions with care, While emotion sheds a tear, caught in dire despair.
