Summary

I have been wanting to talk very specifically about the ego for a while… This is it. Helloooo, egooooo!

Simple: the ego is the unhealed part of us. Or more succinctly, the ego is the way our unhealed self acts.

That’s it. We don’t have to banish it, mollify, or suppress it. Why would we?! The ego is our creation! It’s one of your thought babies. It’s just looking for love. And integration.

Here’s the big beautiful liberation concept: the gift of the ego is to show us who we truly are… our Original Nature.

Once we understand that, we are going to glide through this lifetime instead of grind.

This episode of With Love, Danielle is potentially one of the most useful I’ve ever done.

1:22.6	All the darkness and the manipulation and the fear of the ego
1:26.6	points us to all of that expansiveness.
1:31.3	The ego is only here to point out who we truly are, but we have to go into what I call
1:38.5	the basement of our psyche, into the dark, into what Carl Young called, the shadow self. So much gorgeous work from Young
1:46.8	on the shadow. And it's in the shadow that you find the light. Underneath anxiety is courage.
1:56.1	Underneath the guilt, you're going to find your liberation. Underneath your depression, you're going to find
2:02.7	your joy. In the wound, you find the medicine that heals you, that gives you the capacity to help
2:12.5	other people heal themselves, which is why no one is here alone. We're not all floating on these micro
2:19.1	planets, although I think, you know, in terms of reality constructs, if I am God, I am in my
