EGO & BEING

Ego hardens when it is seen.

Evidence does not dissolve ego. The mind defends its structure more fiercely the closer truth gets.

Ego v. Being lens

Catch the moment today when you are proven wrong about something small, a date, a fact, a route, and feel the little flare of heat before you explain it away. That flare is the thing worth watching.
When someone points out something true and uncomfortable about you, try saying "you may be right" and nothing else. Let the silence sit there instead of filling it with defense.
In a meeting where your idea gets picked apart, drop your shoulders and listen to the end of the sentence before you answer. The urge to interrupt is the structure defending itself.

Where did I argue hardest today, and what was I actually protecting?

The hard and rigid snaps, the soft and yielding survives. A mind that must be right has already begun to break.

It is easy to see the faults of others and hard to see your own, so people hide their own failings the way a gambler hides a losing throw.

It is impossible to begin learning what you already think you know, since the mind grips its opinions tightest right where it is least examined.
