Through being "right", you feel superior and through feeling superior you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.

Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel.

Facing facts is always empowering.

The moment you become aware of the silence, you also have become silent.

Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.

How many situations can be resolved with less thinking?

The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.
