Creating Real Estate - 08-11-21 by Sokuzan - SokukoJi.org

The ego, or what I might call the land baron, is the one who has territory, owns things, and puts things there in the mind stream or even the life stream if they have a chance. When something arises in the mind stream like anger, the self-centered mind claims it and wants to hang on to it. That property owner gets support as someone whose anger this is. You don’t have to claim any of that. You’re not looking for property. This is narcissism and it can be very subtle. The encouragement here is to see that whatever shows up is just that. When we approach it that way, the ego begins to starve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WllkbZzRbp0
