Resisting understanding and fighting for a narrow view is what you do when your ego is in charge. It means the ego is in absolute fear of losing the emotions and thought patterns keeping it alive and it will stop at nothing to ensure you continue to identify with it, its wacky logic, and precious sentiments. There is a way, however, to escape its hold: let go of what you think you know. Then encourage, even press for this death every day, minute, and hour if you can.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
