The ego is not only the unobserved mind, the voice in the head which pretends to be you, but also the unobserved emotions that are the body's reaction to what the voice in the head is saying.

Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.

The secret of awakening is to unconditionally accept this moment as it is.

In fact, the collective energy field of presence can be very helpful when people come together. It can give you an enormous boost.

There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.

And since the now is all there ever is in your life, your entire life unfolds as the present moment. People don't realize it, but all they ever have is "this". This moment.
