I want to put this on a T-shirt: "the ego will do anything to avoid the non-glamorous nor sexy sitting still in your own company and your own energy"

This is quite a profound addition to my reflection. I concluded that I need to find a balance wherein the ego can have its own little fantasies but it must learn it is time to relinquish control. I had intended to approach this as a parent-child thing, wherein the ego was the child that ran amok and my soul the parent that now says: alright, that's enough.

But after your remark I feel as though the parent-child viewpoint is just another form of separation, whereas I should treat the ego as a part of myself. It should be integrated and understood rather than controlled. After typing that, I realize that control is also just another form of separation.

Loving the journey ever more!!
