There is no fear without the ego.

There is no fear without the ego.

ONLY IF–I choose to own, eat, hook, button, trigger, swallow, believe, personalize, buy into, blow up, invest in, suck in, take to heart, or identify myself as something–can I wind up feeling like that something. Even then, I am only that thing in my imagination as it is a lie.

"The ego is only an illusion, but a very influential one. Letting the ego-illusion become your identity can prevent you from knowing your true self. Ego, the false idea of believing that you are what you have or what you do, is a backward way of assessing and living life."
-Wayne Dyer

"Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling."
–J. Krishnamurti
