The Ego’s pull rarely recedes without extensive practice.
Seems the Ego’s desire for approval, for importance, attracts thousands of thoughts and many emotions.
The Ego also wants to avoid criticism, loss and embarrassment, attracting negative thoughts and emotions.
It can resemble a thick balloon, inflating and deflating throughout the day, reacting to external stimulus.
This Ego we create thinks happiness is connected with him/her being totally inflated and in control.
This could not be farther from the truth.
Seasoned monks use far less Ego than others.
