“Whenever ego suffers from fear of death & your practice turns to seeing impermanence, ego settles down.”
“Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness.”
“Only the ego resists egos. The spirit may notice egos, but sees beyond them and does not engage with them.”
“Leave your pride, ego, and narcissism somewhere else. Reactions from those parts of you will reinforce your children's most primitive fears.”
“Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'.”
“The Ego, however, is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear.”
