From thinking to awareness...

"'One day I will be free of the ego.'
Who is talking? The ego.

To become free of the ego is not really
a big job but a very small one. All you
need to do is be aware of your thoughts
and emotions - as they happen.
.
This is not really a 'doing,' but an alert
'seeing.'

In that sense, it is true that there
is nothing you can do to become free of
the ego.

When that shift happens, which
is the shift from thinking to awareness, an
intelligence far greater than the ego's
cleverness begins to operate in your life."
