Hi all, please share your favorite quotes and clips on ego here!
There are so many good ones—here is one of my favorites from Adyashanti, a 4-minute clip entitled “Getting Beyond Ego”:

Key quotes from the video:
“Allow everything to be as it is.”
”You can’t outsmart your self. Thinking can’t out-think thinking.”
“The [egoic] mind lives on resistance.”
“And so, when there’s no effort to escape from it, you’ve denied the egoic state of consciousness the one thing it needs to remain in a trance state. It needs struggle. It must struggle. It has to struggle, otherwise consciousness will start to wake up or leave the trance state of egoic consciousness—all by itself.”
