Stop Fighting the Ego and Return to Your True Self

In this video, I’ll talk about battling the ego—how we think if it weren’t there, everything would be ecstatic bliss. We fight it, try to stop it, kill it, but it comes back, now dressed as a “spiritual ego.” Ever noticed that? You sit down, meditate, feel good, think you’ve got it in check—then it fades. Who’s fighting? The ego, of course, playing its game again.

I’ll share how Zen cuts through this loop. Not by forcing it out or chasing it down, but by looking at it, seeing it for what it is. Don’t react to it, don’t resist it—just observe. What’s left is what’s always been here, beyond the struggle, untouched.
