“One of the great dangers on the spiritual path is that the ego becomes spiritualized. The ego loves to think of itself as spiritually evolved.

“When you are present, you are transcendent of the mind and ego and so you can witness your mind and ego. You can be conscious of your thoughts without being lost in them when they arise.” MindLostEgoConsciousAriseWitnessTranscendent Author:Leonard Jacobson
“The ego is often deeply involved in the desire to help others. If you do not want your ego to be involved in this way, do not be available for others unless you really want to be available. Do not feel that you should be available. Don't sacrifice yourself in any way. Don't go against your true feelings. Don't carry the cross for anyone else. Make sure that there's no sense that helping others makes you a better person or that it will gain you easy access into Heaven. Don't be a martyr.” IfsWayWantFeelsShouldPersonsHelpingFeelingsDesireHeavenEasySacrificeInvolvedEgoGainsCrossesAvailableAccessHelping OthersMartyrBetter PersonHelpfulnessTrue FeelingsEasy Access Author:Leonard Jacobson
