0:00.0	Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults.
0:03.7	Now administering third eye drops. Good evening gorgeous gorgeous souls.
0:23.4	Michael Philip here.
0:25.0	It's evening for me at least.
0:27.0	I don't know what time it is for you, but it's easy to spend time verbally taking the It's everybody's favorite punching bag lately, the ego. It's everybody's favorite
0:39.3	punching bag lately, the ego
0:51.0	It's easy to listen to woke folks say compelling words about becoming more selfless and more compassionate There's more people than ever, harping on it. And I agree with them. We really largely
1:00.7	should take a hard look at our ego and the ways that it compels us to behave.
1:09.2	Out of control ego has overrun our civilization, entitlement is everywhere. Ceaseless consumption and the
1:15.1	waste it implies is pretty much a way of life for most of the planet at this point. And yes, egoic, selfish emanations of some sort are certainly

2:07.5	that's fine. So why should we pretend that we are in constant warfare against our ego when we're certainly not.
2:17.0	And sometimes it's actually nice. For example, I'll throw on some shallow- vapid rap music and mimic the mindset of the MC who's
2:29.3	essentially just talking about how great he is the whole time because it's fun. It's a flavor and
2:36.0	it doesn't consume me. It doesn't define me. It doesn't take control of my life and when
2:40.8	you figuratively or literally, I suppose,
2:44.0	taste a rich indulgent flavor, it doesn't define you either.
2:50.0	So I guess I'm saying, eat your psychic or corporeal cupcake from time to time within reason
2:58.1	as long as you're generally progressing toward improvement in that respective area.
