Our ego is the part of ourselves that needs to be seen by others. As a result it is often overly concerned what others will think of us. A fact that anyone who wants to make money preys on with enormous success. When we move through life without mindfulness, we give our egos free reign over our decisions and their resulting actions.
We navigate our realities, making decisions in them, through the use of our senses. Each collects stimuli with which we interpret our interactions with others. Interpret is an important concept here. We've all heard about the one event viewed by many. There are as many different accounts of the event as there are viewers. Our interpretations must be tempered by a knowledge of ourselves. Our motivations and experiences color our interpretation of objective stimuli. We judge because we have emotional reactions to any given set of circumstances.
This week we contemplate our inner sight. That point of view which has a broader view of things than our egos. That part of ourselves which makes wise decisions. In order to hear or see with this particular perspective we must place less emphasis on our physical senses. They are vital for processing that which is in front of us, but are distracting when considering that which lies within.
Examine the demands of your ego. Are they actions that would set you on the path to becoming the best version of yourself?
When you listen to the silence are there other ideas that reach you?
