Listen "Ep 42 A Compassionate Look at the Ego"
Episode Synopsis
If ever there was a tricky situation to be in, it’s got to be this one: Sometimes, we’re operating out of our conscious mind – things we know we’re thinking about. And sometimes, we’re operating out of our unconscious mind – things we haven’t yet become aware of. And yet, our unconscious selves are still affecting us! A tricky situation indeed.Today we look gently at our lives from the perspective of the ego and we talk practically about what we do have control over and when it’s probably time to give ourselves a break. We hope you’ll join us.Additional ResourcesQuote: Ep 20: AA Meets Contemplative Spirituality Book: The Cloud of Unknowing by AnonymousBook: Awareness by Anthony DeMelloBook: Adam’s Return by Richard RohrTV Series: Call the Midwife on PBS For Transcript: Go to the "Transcript" Tab.
