Okay this is super creepy and amazing because I've been feeling that too lol! I've been married to my soulmate for the last 7 years and that man doesn't have 1cm of ego with me and only with me (he has a massive ego otherwiseπ).
We had a mini fight and I could feel he was genuinely hurt, while I had crossed the processing phase and was just waiting for him to apologise.
Later, I said fuck it and went and started the conversation. He told his side and I was kind of being a bitch to him lol. That's when it hit me. My egos voice keeps telling me that I always approach and have the conversation first. So what if I did??!! Why should it even matter? He gives so so so much more in other aspects isn't it?
I could feel it instantly unravel and dissolve. Damn it was beautiful β€οΈ
Yay for ego recognition! I think we should make up stickers. Kind of like the "I voted" sticker we get on election day. It can say something to the effect of "I called out the ego."
HAHAHA I know right?? But Iβve realised thereβs a fine line for me between fighting it and observing/becoming friends with it you know? Itβs exhausting sometimes to be this aware.
The Ego Death is a big milestone on the spiritual journey to Higher Consciousness. Congratulations! You have raised your frequency a step up the ladder!
Very inspiring to hear about the discovered space behind the tension of relationship. After 20 years of marriage I can relate to the slow thaw of personal bozo-hood giving way to seeing the extraordinary gift of what is present. Being somewhat new to your writing I am curious, however, how you are defining both "ego" and "enlightenment."
Ego is the part that gets defensive when someone asks me what I mean by ego. lol! And tells me, "Who the hell are you to talk about enlightenment!?" Ego to me actually feels like an entity. Like this energy mass that gets it's power from my believing it. And Enlightenment? My path to Enlightenment is steering me to release the ego. Stop identifying as ego. As the stories that keep me feeling small and defensive. It's literally an identity shift.
Thanks Connie! Where does ego go once we release it? Is it like those pet pythons that owners release that then grow 30 feet long in the sewer system? : )

Definitely! You inspired my note for today. Thanks for the connect Shruthi!
Love this.
I liked your Tupperware/Bermuda triangle comment. Where did it go?
I have no idea. I can be so challenged with tech. I thought I double wrote it so I thought I was deleting one of them π€·
: ( It's a never-ending house of smoke and mirrors ain't it?
Lol! So true.
