Punishing the Ego
Do not punish the ego. Nurture it through observation and awareness in meditation. Let it dissolve its influence in the warm bath of your awareness. Calm the grip that your fear has upon it. Watch it fade with love and become more awareness.
Fear and the ego are tools of self-discovery into awareness. Like a child that does not understand and throws a tantrum, your ego fights to assert your right to be free and independent of others. It does not understand how to be free and independent in love without the need to control or create conflict.
Without the problems that the ego and your fear bring you would not look within and remember. You would not explore the source of the pain in you or ask the “why of your existence”. They tell you that something is not right, something is out of place and you need to find out and solve the mystery of your personal existence.
In a sense they point the way, they harass your life until you go within and discover with awareness their meaning and learn to stop fighting them….they are your friends.
