“The thought of both East and West (philosophies) can indeed be integrated into a higher truth. They show us that the West is correct in maintaining that life is about progress about evolving toward something higher. Yet the East is also correct in emphasizing that we must let go of control with the ego. We can't progress by using logic alone. We have to attain a fuller consciousness, an inner connection with God, because only then can our evolution toward something better be guided by a higher part of ourselves.” PhilosophyShowsLife IsConsciousnessProgressEvolutionHigherLetting GoEgoConnectionsLogicWestEastEvolveMaintainingSomething BetterIntegratedSelf ConsciousnessEast And WestCelestine Prophecy Author:James Redfield
“Showing young children in these communities, that there are outlets for their feelings, that there is room in a space for their stories to be told, and that they will be applauded - and it's not about ego, it's about connection: that their pain is everybody else's pain.” ChildrenStoriesFeelingsPainYoungCommunitySpaceRoomsEgoConnectionsOutletsYoung Children Author:Tom Hiddleston
“Film works when a director and a star have a connection. You know, when there's something telekinetic between them, there's a partnership, it's like alter egos. It's like James Stewart and Alfred Hitchcock, or Fellini and Mastroianni. I'm not comparing, I'm just saying, if you can come into a relationship where the director and star have such a bond, it's so much easier to make a movie.” IfsKnowsFilmStarsEasierDirectorsEgoConnectionsComparePartnershipJust SayingHitchcockAlter Ego Author:Nicolas Winding Refn
“Souls love. That’s what souls do. Egos don’t, but souls do. Become a soul, look around, and you’ll be amazed-all the beings around you are souls. Be one, see one. When many people have this heart connection, then we will know that we are all one, we human beings all over the planet. We will be one. One love. And don’t leave out the animals, and trees, and clouds, and galaxies-it’s all one. It’s one energy.” PeopleKnowsHumansLooksHeartSoulEnergyHuman BeingsAnimalTreePlanetsEgoConnectionsCloudsAmazedGalaxyOne Love Book:Be Love Now: The Path of the Heart Source: Be Love Now: The Path of the Heart
“Astrology furnishes a splendid proof of the contemptible subjectivity of men in consequence whereof they refer everything to themselves and from every idea at once go straight back to themselves. Astrology refers the course of celestial bodies to the miserable ego; it also establishes a connection between the comets in heaven and the squabbles and rascalities on earth.” MenBodyEarthCoursesHeavenEgoConnectionsProofMiserableAstrologySplendidCelestialSubjectivityCometsSquabblesCelestial Bodies Author:Arthur Schopenhauer
“As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate.” WaySelfEgoIllusionConnectionsDrivenEmpoweringContemplatingHolisticSeparateness Author:Wayne Dyer
“In this way the ego detaches itself from the external world. It is more correct to say: Originally the ego includes everything, later it detaches from itself the external world. The ego-feeling we are aware of now is thus only a shrunken vestige of a far more extensive feeling - a feeling which embraced the universe and expressed an inseparable connection of the ego with the external world.” WorldWayFeelingsUniverseEgoConnectionsInseparable Book:Civilization and Its Discontents Source: Civilization and Its Discontents
“Let go of your ego's need to be right. When you're in the middle of an argument, ask yourself: Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the joyous, loving, spiritual mode, your connection to intention is strengthened.” WantNeedsSpiritualAsksMiddleLetting GoEgoArgumentConnectionsIntentionYou ChooseBeing HappyJoyous Author:Wayne Dyer
