I'm CHOOSING to suffer

[Merrick]

The ego is an illusion.

Third density is an illusion. But we are here are we not? Do we not need the material world to live our lives? Just as we need it, we also need our egos. Therefore, what is illusion? It seems real to you or I. So it is IS real.

Yes, and it’s worth reminding ourselves of the illusory nature of things when we get too caught up in it. I find this especially true when dealing with the ego, whether mine or others.

The whole point is to get caught up in it. For if you always look at ego as something to be avoided, whether it is yours or others, then you miss the opportunity to learn from and grow. The ego of yours and others is just as much a catalyst as anything else. If not, one of the primary ways to learn.

I didn’t say avoid it, but a reminder of its illusory nature can help us process the experience we’re going through.
