Cannot get us to that level of true, authentic greatness to fulfill our true soul's destiny. It gets us to a point, but we end up reaching the edge of the egos, who we think we are. We end up reaching the end of the ego's capacity to manifest life. And that's often why We have a breakdown. That's often why we get fired in the spiritual context.
That's often why these events happen in life to break us down, to force us to surrender, not because we're doing anything wrong, but to force us to surrender so that we can go deeper and crack open and find who we really are. So ego isn't bad. When we realize, ah, shit, what's stopping me from living in that flow is my ego. But I'm not my ego. It's my conditioning.

And the degree to which we identify with ourselves as ego is the degree to which we are sometimes afraid. of surrendering because it feels like, oh shit, if I surrender, I am dying. And it's terrifying for the ego. So if we can realize that and then have compassion for ourselves, What's resisting and what's doing this dance? It's not me. It's just some of my conditioning.

And I'm not my conditioning. And I don't have to judge it. I don't have to fight it. I don't have to force it, beat it into submission of surrender. Maybe I can just meet that with some love. Maybe I can just meet my, if we can see ourselves doing our dance, then maybe I can see it has a positive intention. It's trying to get me love. Oh my God, it's like terrified of being hurt again.

So I'm doing this dance. And if we're able to see that and have the empathy and then meet ourselves with love and compassion and mercy and kindness, so that when we are afraid, when we are acting out, when we are doing our thing, then we can hold ourselves and say, hey, it's okay.

It's that loving, it's that compassion, it's that empathy that begins to allow that deeper egoic part of us to relax and then surrender completely.

So just first step is that's understanding the nature of ego. That's, I think, why we don't surrender. That begins the anatomy of understanding why we are doing this, right? And so in terms of the phases of surrender, at first we are often, let's say, unconscious, right? We're just doing what we're doing, living what we're doing, thinking that we are who we are. This is me. This is life.

And then we create life that often ends up limited in some way. We're unconscious. Maybe then we begin to become a little conscious. We start questioning. Then maybe we start seeing, hmm, maybe there's a different way. And now we're going to denial, a bit more conscious denial. And so now we're living a bit more in denial.
