Present Awareness & the Conditioned Ego

Present Awareness & the Conditioned Ego (Lesism)

Human beings have been conditioned to become creatures of ego, through the manipulation of - amongst others - political, religious, corporate and media institutions.

Many of us learn valuable lessons from the episodes in our life that catalyse emotional pain (and remember that nobody can cause you emotional pain – that can only come from within, with your interpretation of their words and/or actions), but what most of us don’t seem to learn is that we need to let that pain go.

These are some of the most important lessons that were taught to me, and some of the most important lessons I strive to teach others. In the words of the immortal Morpheus: “Free your mind.”
