Daily Ego Discoveries

'Liz'instein

hello consciousness, hello ego, hello world....So today I discovered something totally new and profound about me, myself and I. Yep...you truly do learn something everyday, even if its not as intellectual as the theory of 'general relativity'. But nevertheless being your own Einstein is all there is...right?

Well little miss independent thought she was totally on track and able to sort out her own shit...that I may have been...but if your sorting through the wrong crap then its not really relevant. I mean, I can't really say that because all roads lead to nowhere, so I guess I had to start on this route in order to find the other route. Ahhh M Scott Peck. I get it now...."The road less traveled". I'm a little slow I know, but GEEEZE was it 12 years ago I read this? and only now a light bulb flickers.... :) Definitely a spiritual journey, but sometimes (pretty much always) what your looking for is never on the shelf in front of you staring you in the face. It's the nooks and crannies that stuff hides, deep in the darkness where no one knows to look or wants to look for that matter (feel).

But on the upside with all the equipment, resilience and stillness you have accumulated along the way you are better equipped to handle the darkness, the deep stuff awaiting to be found and brought to the surface. So, maybe the common 'traveled' route was necessary at the time and then when you are ready the signs appear for more uncommon terrain appear and the mind will be ready to travel the road less traveled.

"My Forte"....Riddles! Riddles I speak, because cryptic it is. Nothing it seems, is what it seems. The ego creates diversions to protect itself from being found out, from being annihilated being conquered. Why? to perhaps have its way with you. But... all it simply craves is your attention. So bringing it to your attention and nurturing it and being one with it, allows it simply to exist in your awareness. 'Just exist'. But the difference is, it has no control over you. As Maggie would put it, it serves us, not 'us' serving it.

...and this is today lesson.
