Quotes from this Video:
“There is no self that is holding on, there’s just holding on. There is no self that lets go, there is just letting go.â€
“I think of the ego as a shapeshifter. You get onto it in one form and the ego goes, ‘Well, that’s no problem whatsoever. I’ll just come up in this other form that you won’t notice quite so fast.’â€
“The ego shifts shapes all the time. It’s very mercurial. After all, it’s a process, not a thing. It’s a psychological and biological process.â€
