6 Deceptions of the Ego

One of the most important lessons I learnt last year was about the false power of the ego. It is sometimes the driving force and the motivation for the things we do and the informant we rely on to determine our self-worth. It has its place and its value but when it takes over it pretty much annihilates our sense of peace and well-being. In listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer this past Sunday he summarised pretty neatly 6 lies our ego tell us and which we believe and they are:

  1. I am what I have
  2. I am what I do
  3. I am what others think of me
  4. I am separate from everyone
  5. I am separate from everything that is missing in my life
  6. I am separate from God

How many of these do you believe? It definitely made me think.
