Eckhart Tolle

not losing oneself in this thought stream, even when one speaks. You can often see when you observe people having a conversation or discussion, they easily lose themselves in their thought stream. The emotion comes in. The moment you identify with the thought very quickly, an emotion will come in also. And then you start arguing when you have conversations with your family.

Do you lose yourself in your mental positions? then the other mental position becomes to you an enemy. So it's very important to practice presence when you meet your family members. And they may have different opinions on your different mental positions. Can you allow them their mental position? And don't equate their mental position with who who or what they truly are.

There's a being underneath their mental position. They are not their mental position. That's just the ego. So then sometimes you can be compassionate towards their mental position and allow them to have this. You don't need to put them right and say, no, you're wrong. The moment you get into right and wrong argument, your ego is back. The ego loves proving other people wrong.

Yes, yes. Even if, I mean, sometimes you do know that you're right because there are certain facts, some facts you cannot... You know you're right. And some people may deny certain facts and you know very well that you are right and they are not. And yet you can state your belief or your position. You can say, well, let's say, how long does it take for the light from the moon to reach the Earth?

And this person says, oh, it takes 10 minutes. And you say, no, I know it takes... One and a half seconds. Okay, you happen to be right. But then allow that person to have their opinion instead of beginning to argue.

Yes, the question is, how do you recognize the ego in you when it arises? It's usually, it's not a pleasant place to be. The ego is usually recognized as ultimately dysfunctional in yourself. So any negative emotion that arises, tends to be a part of the ego. It starts with irritation. It's a relatively minor negative emotion, can easily become amplified and evolve into something bigger.
