The Shift in Understanding Ego
Michael Neal discusses the commonly held misconception that ego is something that should be destroyed or considered sinful. He explains that ego is often confused with vanity and arrogance, but it is actually our self image and the way we think of ourselves. By recognizing that ego is not inherently bad or wrong, we can shift our perspective and understand that it takes us away from our true nature.
