It can cause you to feel a need to be separate, inferior, or superior. Ego can cause fear, guilt, or shame. It will have you searching for recognition for your achievements, instead of simply being happy with what you have achieved.One of our biggest problems comes when we get caught living in this ego-based consciousness and accelerate into the negative emotions we are experiencing.Our ego causes fear, which is followed by fear-based reactions.
