Transcending the Ego (Original Recording‪)‬

In this thorough explanation of the human ego, Dr. Hawkins points out that the difficulty with the mind is that it doesn't know the difference between that which is mental from that which "is". He explains that we can transcend the ego and reach the higher states of consciousness not by battling it, spending 30 years in psychotherapy or meditating forever, but by understanding its origin, its nature and its function. The ego then begins to dissolve on its own through compassion and acceptance because when you shine light on darkness, the darkness begins to disappear. As it dissolves, we become the very thing that we were seeking. 

Dr. Hawkins gives us these encouraging words to ponder: "We are what we sought, that which is benign, loving, and forgiving." 

All this and much more!
