Episode #7: How the ego really works and how to get space from it.

This episode explains how the ego really works, like a whale using echolocation, but instead of bouncing sound waves, the ego maintains its sense of itself by bouncing comparative statements off of everyone around it. It just narrates what it sees. And y’all hear all of that as an internal monologue, pretty much every moment of every day. Ultimately, the ego only sees in comparisons and it only knows how to fight, to protect its sense of its self, the story it builds all day long with those comparative statements. And with those comparative statements, the ego makes us see everyone else and ourselves in terms of competition, and so we turn against others, like with jealousy, and we also turn against ourselves. But it is possible to get space from our ego and its storyline, and this episode talks about how. And about how self improvement becomes a breeze when you're no longer fighting against yourself. It’s like finally being on the same team with yourself–BUT the only way to get there is first by creating space between you and your ego.
