When it comes to ego I can humbly state that less is more.

Interesting post Anand Newman. All models work for a while. Living together creates all sorts of complications, especially if you are not clear as to why you are living together. I’ve often said it that being in love is not when when you are looking in each other’s eyes, but when you are looking in the same direction. Creating the direction becomes paramount. Swami Arun with whom I had a chance to speak with recently believes in ‘sacred space’ (my words). This space can be ‘one room’ in house, or an ashram, and once this space is only used for meditation for 48 days, things begin to happen. How this space can be created will depend on you, where you are, and the kind of people you have around you.

@ SD. Bill Murray.

Ego about not having an ego,
and the less common,
ego about having an ego.

well,grasshopper…

the strawberry represents the mind or the ego.
the cream represents the teaching of enlightenment,which can,paradoxically, be either the cure or simply just another topping to make the mind/ego more seem more colourful and appetising…

do you want a flake with that?

Aka “bigging one’s ‘self’ up”, Arpana!

The ineffable self-importance of the ‘self’…

Ever seen that famous Bill Murray clip, ‘It Just Doesn’t Matter’? One of the best:

A much better word than badges. Trophies.

I’ve just come to the end of a long run of musing about trophies, material, emotional, etc which I am to tired to write down. Nothing, as far as I can be conscious of is a trophy any more. (No. I tell a lie. I am still a tad identified with having been in Poona 1, allthough as soon as I own that it doesnt matter.. So not identified with identifying or disidentifying.) Fuck I’m getting dizzy.
