The ego likes the story.
It likes interpretations. They keep it 'alive'.
Ultimately the ego is made up of multiple interpretations that are fixed in memory.
It has been set up to protect us psychologically.
Once we start to pull away interpretations from 'what is' there is usually resistance. That is the ego trying to protect us. It has a job to do and it is very serious about it.
The ego lives in 'red alert'. From the ego's point of view, there will never be an 'all clear' where we can go back out and play like we did as children. The ego will never sound the 'all clear' because it is made up of the past where all hurt and fear exists.
So how to be free?
See the mechanism of it all. See the operation of it all.
If a robot becomes conscious and aware is it still a robot or does it become something else? A human being will react according to its past - its ego - until it becomes aware of its ego. Then it has a choice.
Do I react or do I choose what I truly want? Am I mindless or mindful?
Be the change you wish to see in the world. This statement requires that we transcend ego and become conscious. Only then will our actions truly reflect who we are.
