See the ego is part of this world because it is. We want to fence it off. We want to hate all who participate in it. We get angry with ourselves when we are led by our egos. We fight this fight continuously and get our hands so dirty in this battle. We hate when others treat us in ways that disturb our Morning or disturb our sleep. Yet the most amazing part of it is when we come to the realization that it is the ego our grandest hurdle. And without the hurdle we don't know what it's like to surpass it, to go beyond it. Above the mountain top there is a song of freedom and redemption. After the thunderstorms calm Their roars there is a silence unlike no other. After the darkness the sunrise seems quite sweet. It is the ego that catches our attention. It tricks us so easily. It always tries to. Yet there comes a time when we see this sickness is a sickness and we no longer blame ourselves or others. We just know we all can get stuck. So we understand that this is a hurdle we all as human beings must hurdle through. Some stay stuck in this Cold War for a long time. Some choose compassion. Some choose wisdom. Some choose grace. Some choose war. They judge the other yet they do the same thing, back and forth, until the eyes of the other are his own eyes and he with wisdom one day learns to come back home. This was all just a game, and by living through it we gain to see the bliss of our being. By seeing the darkness and its shadows we learn to finally see the stars, as we look up to the heavens with grace and gratitude.  For all that is not love eventually brings us back to love.
