Ego and Fear

Ego has no importance when you are living close to your Core. When you are living close to your Core, you are complete, whole, with all of your needs already met. But Ego is greedy; so it wants to keep your focus in the Walking World and other people. The more that Ego can keep us needing, wanting, desiring things outside ourselves, the more it can control us with fear.

To live close to your Core, you confront fear. It’s not always your own fear, but the fear of others: the ones who need you to need them, because they are controlled by the Ego’s fear. When you are whole inside your own Core, you live in a state of loving. You are complete. You don’t need anyone. And that scares people because they don’t have any way of binding you to them. They fear losing you. Then they just fear you.

They don’t understand because their Ego is so rooted in other people, they lose sight of their own Core. They create a false one that’s based on other people. It’s based on fulfilling other people’s needs and desires, or vice versa. When they have nothing to offer you that you don’t already get from yourself, they fear.

Stay close to your Core. Don’t give in to their fear, guilt, blame, shame. Don’t bother trying to explain, either. Most of the time they won’t get it. Most of the time they will not understand that from the position of Core you can love them truer and deeper than any place of need and Ego.
