Description

This is the first episode in a mini-series on Integrating the Ego and Soul. We begin with a primer on the ego to help us recognize our own ego, how it behaves, and when it might trip us up. This episdoe includes:

  • How the ego develops in childhood
  • What role the ego plays
  • Why the ego's main tool is fear
  • Why we need the ego to function in the world
  • How "spiritual ego" may trick us into believing we are more enlightened than we really are
