Daily Meditation:

Destroy 'the ego', hound it, beat it, snub it, tell it where it gets off? Great fun, no doubt, but where is it? Must you not find it first? Isn't there a word about catching your goose before you can cook it? The great difficulty here is that there isn't one. - 'Posthumous Pieces' by Wei Wu Wei

Realizing there is no ego. It is a construct of the mind and of philosophers who need a driving force within man to control and actions and outcomes of our thoughts and the reasoning behind them. Difficult it is to overcome the destructive nature of the drive and the seeming need to eliminate it. Instead of working against ourselves and fighting and defeating our beings when we embrace who we are and desire to make a change there is no longer something to eliminate since that something has never been there?

Eliminate what we do not know and what we have not seen. Change to become something other then who we are and how we are driven. Yes, destructive are we, am I. Change I can.
