Three more ideas about understanding our ego.....

The hero is he who smashes idols, and the idol of every man is his ego.  Ibn 'Arbi

Shall we look into 3 more of Mr. Holiday's concepts about the ego?  Here we go!!

Connect with Nature and the Universe at large.  Going into nature is a powerful feeling and we need to tap into it as often as possible.  We are lucky in Colorado, but you can find this anywhere.  When you are able to connect with nature on a fundamental level you can leave the world of material success in the background.  We can leave the inner voice behind and just listen, breathe, and look.

Choose alive time over dead time.  Author Robert Greene writes about two types of time.  There is dead time, when people are passive and waiting.  and then there is alive time when people are learning, acting and utilizing as much of their time as possible.  When the ego is alive and talking about dead time, the record goes like this, "I don't want this,  I want_____.  I want it my way.  It chooses to be angry, aggrieved, heart broken.  This is not your fault, you have been programed by everyone and everything around you.  You have the power to change this story.

Get out of your own head.  Become aware of the sound track in your head.  Whether this inner voice is telling you that your greater than the rest or that you are at the bottom of the ladder and need to have the recognition of those around you.  Listen, do not fight it.  Become aware of this inner story.  Get to the facts and understand the reality of what is happening around you.
