Well...what's Ego?...LOL

I do it by continuously being aware of what I am doing. By paying attention to what I am doing. Examining what is at the core of what I do now. By Doing what I am doing. By questioning..by doubting...by keeping my mind open and not falling into definitions or fixed belief systems.

I like the idea of viewing others as enlightened. It eliminates the immediate judgement to whether what they do is evil or good. It creates a humility that enables me to watch and watch only. It enables me not to get trapped in violent thought (and this isn't limited to hitting or verbal or whatever..it covers the whol gamut..) it cultivates a feeling that seems to be called compassion by some but that's another loaded word with a million definitions.

Ego is still there, thoughts are still there, feelings, all things associated with George are still there..they just aren't in charge most of the time. My True Self doesn't seem to have the George in it at all. But I am still a guy in this dualistic world.

I found this quote today.

Any thoughts on this? How do we keep our ego from getting in the way???
