Unexpected Ways the Inflated Ego Enslaves, Dominates, and Fools You

Living a rather isolated life on a quasi remote mountain, two alpha personalities from the Zero Hedge arena can easily crash into the other one's massive ego. It can be a delicate operation because we both admit we have big fat egos in play, thus implying we have our own behavior well in hand lol.

Indeed perhaps the biggest trick the devil ever played was convincing us we could "control" and set aside our egos.

Who’s In Your Head?

How often have you marveled at a child doing something unusual and said, "How does he come up with these ideas?" And who hasn't been in a situation where a youngster uttered an awkward (truthful) statement they hadn't yet learned was taboo? "Out of the mouths of babes," is the default response by us grownups to reset the mood to a more comfortable programmed track.

But most would agree modern children are taught as we, and the generations before us, were taught. Children quickly learn it is valuable to be like others, to conform and not make waves. By the time we are young adults, can we even identify the origins of why we think the way we do?

For a good read and further reflection on why we think as we do please see: Who's In Your Head?

Prophecy, Spirit and The Dreamtime

How much of our lives do we spend reflecting upon our past or projecting into the future? Every moment spent in the then or when is time in which we miss the here and now.

What might our lives be like if we could recapture those minutes, hours, days, weeks, perhaps even years? How different would this reality we each create be? For some thoughtful reflection on this topic, please join me in reading: Prophecy, Spirit and The Dreamtime.
