Ego in Random Thoughts

I don’t have much time to write, but i am interested in exploring what i have been learning in my Yoga intensive class. Currently i am reading a book called A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, by Eckhart Tolle. By the title it sound new age, hippie dippy, and perhaps it will approach that, but currently i am learning about the ego and how it basically runs our life. Along with this, the text is talking about how to recognize it, separate your true Self from the ego, and i suppose it will continue by “breaking free” (the title of a later chapter) from the ego and “finding your life’s true purpose” (that’s the new age-y stuff i am skeptical about).

But, do you know what i am finding??? I recognize what he is talking about and i actually have some separation of ego and Self. It has come, i don’t know, naturally perhaps, or from being intuitive, constantly reflective… I find that this makes sense, even though i went into reading this book with skepticism. It helps me understand myself better and not quite feel like i am so “quirky” or different than others.

I have never before in my life felt like i am making so many self discoveries. Interestingly, maybe it is more like finding the vocabulary that explains my being/feeling/experience of life.

Well, i need to go take care of some before school business.

Love to you all.
