Understanding the Ego vs. the Self

The distinction between the ego and the self is explored in this episode, highlighting how the ego represents our projected identity shaped by societal expectations and personal insecurities, while the self symbolizes our true essence beneath the ego's facade. The ego governs our actions through self-criticism and validation-seeking, hindering personal growth and genuine connections. In contrast, the self embodies our spiritual core, transcending worldly constructs and guiding us towards authenticity and deeper self-awareness.
