“Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz.” ActionFallMovementInvolvedActivityEgoFlowJazzSakeTime FliesPlaying Jazz Author:Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
“Ego is the movement of the mind toward objects of perception in the form of grasping, and away from objects in the form of aversion. This fundamentally is all the ego is. This movement of grasping and aversion gives rise to a sense of a separate 'me,' and in turn the sense of 'me' strengthens itself this way.” WayGivingMindFormTurnsMovementObjectsEgoPerceptionGraspingAversion Author:Adyashanti
“The whole movement of happiness, unhappiness, happiness, unhappiness, could be called unhappiness. You're suffering because your state of mind is in flux, moving back and forth. The ego's happiness is really a form of suffering, because it cannot live without unhappiness.” MindStatesWholeMovingFormSufferingMovementEgoUnhappinessState Of MindBack And ForthFluxMoving Back Author:Eckhart Tolle
“When you shoot a scene, you remember every moment. You remember when your head went down, your head went up. You don't see little quirks, little eye movements, little lip movements. Once again, you become completely vain when you're watching it in a way that you weren't when you were shooting it. And the vanity, what it makes you focus on are everything that has nothing to do with the scene and everything to do with your own ego.” WayLittlesMomentsEyeRememberFocusMovementSceneEgoLipsVanityShootingVainRemember WhenQuirks Author:Viola Davis
“Love is the movement within life that carries us, that enables us, that causes us to break out of what Alan Watts calls the “skin-encapsulated ego.” Without love, we are self-centered, but love enables us to move the center of our lives outside our ego. Therefore it expands our lives and, needless to say, enriches it. Any human being would give anything to love or be loved. When it really happens, it is like heaven on earth.” GivingHumansSelfHappensEarthMovingHeavenCausesHuman BeingsLove IsBreakOur LivesMovementEgoSkinsCarrieSelf CenteredWithout LoveBreak OutHeaven On Earth Author:Huston Smith
“Much of what is called Christianity has more to do with disguising the ego behind the screen of religion and culture than any real movement toward a God beyond the small self, and a new self in God.” RealSelfCultureBehindsChristianityMovementEgoScreensNew Self Book:The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective Source: The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective

“So our ego has to be seen. It is to be watched in a witness state, how it works and how it tries to dissuade us from the right path of movement. One has to be only careful on that point because that is the last centre which has to be opened out. Once it is completely open, you are one with the Divine and all your problems will be solved because these problems are so frivolous and have no meaning.” LoveTryingStatesProblemWisdomLastsSpiritPathMeditationMovementDivineEgoYogaCarefulWitnessWellnessCentreFrivolousRight Path Author:Nirmala Srivastava
“One might compare the relation of the ego to the id with that between a rider and his horse. The horse provides the locomotor energy, and the rider has the prerogative of determining the goal and of guiding the movements of his powerful mount towards it. But all too often in the relations between the ego and the id we find a picture of the less ideal situation in which the rider is obliged to guide his horse in the direction in which it itself wants to go.” WantMightEnergyGoalPowerfulSituationMovementEgoIdealsHorseRelationGuidesCompareObligedPsychoanalysisRidersPrerogative Author:Sigmund Freud
