How to Find the Balance Between Ego and Spirit

Ego is the best friend that we can have, as it will keep letting us know what is in our way. It's impossible to clear the mind completely of thought and ego. When you're asleep, the ego disappears. We are able to have dreams because our ego has stepped out of the way. Going into anything too extremely in life creates in balance. One of my big questions for this book is this, can we start to integrate the traditional, esoteric spiritual learnings into the jarring modern world? Is it even possible? Fern: Some of my own teachers are very orthodox, and we have to be mindful when we talk about some of these traditions, because they are so sacred.
