Ego could be defined as whatever covers up basic goodness. From an experiential point of view, what is ego covering up? It's covering up our experience of just being here, just fully being where we are, so that we can relate with the immediacy of our experience. Egolessness is a state of mind that has complete confidence in the sacredness of the world. It is unconditional well being, unconditional joy that includes all the different qualities of our experience. ~Pema Chodron

There once was a monk and in the course of his travels, he came upon a beautiful stone that shone like the brightest of the stars. He picked it up, put it in his pocket and traveled on. Later, he found out that the stone was actually a rare gem and was worth a lot of money. After a few days, the monk came upon a man and, upon viewing the stone in the monks possession, the man asked for it...the monk gave him this precious stone and went on his way. Days later the man came back to the monk. He thanked him profusely for giving him the stone and told the monk that he didn't want it, after all. The monk asked him, 'Why not?' and the man replied, "As rare and beautiful as this stone is, I do not want it...I would rather have that which enabled you to give it to me in the first place."

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
