Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation \\ Words of Wisdom - July 9, 2025 💠

 


You've got to remember that the ego is built on fear, it's not built on love. It's built on fear of non-survival, so you create a structure to make you safe. And it's a beautiful instrument, but if you're identified with it, you're fearful all the time. And because you're fearful you're always going to overcompensate and make ego decisions that are a little inappropriate, because they'll be colored by your looking from inside this place.

When you're outside of it, you see that you use your ego as you need to make decisions. You come back into somebody-ness. You and I are meeting behind this dance that we're doing, which is charming and fascinating. That's the beauty of playing with the ego and the higher consciousness. It's only when those two planes work that the ego becomes functional.
 
- Ram Dass
