ISmile 77- Ego’s Etch-a-Sketch

Sometimes it can help to look at egoic moves in one of four directions: toward acquisition, toward aversion, toward the past, or toward the future. In this talk, Michael suggests that instead of living our life in this two-dimensionality, we can open to a three-dimensionality, or even multi-dimensionality, once we study our craving and our resistance. Along these lines, Michael discusses the difference between egoic judgment and egoless discriminating awareness. Questions relate to death becoming a teacher; being honest with what is really coming up in just this experience; and how instead of trying to make people more happy we can practice helping each other to become more conscious.
