Ego Attempts for Attention
06.03.25
The ego attempts to draw attention - until all attempts fail.
An egoic thought that was attractive until recently was: "You need to think about this".
There was often a threat associated with the thought - both of pain and pleasure:
"You need to think about this or you'll be stuck with this forever."
"Thinking has been helpful in the past - don't dismiss it - there could be a realisation on the other side..."
The ego can be likened to a "pushy person" attempting to convince another to do something, using a variety of arguments, reasons and threats, until one "hooks" the attention and one submits...
A state of inner peace equates to the knowing / seeing of ego. As it is seen, it disappears.
