11/ Fear of fear is the birth place of the ego, its resting place and its final destination.

22/ You either choose to do what you fear and are a true winner, or you choose fear of fear and literally lose everything: become a "loser".
-
23/ The paradox of the ego is that it both exists, and doesn't. All depends on your way of being. Whatever you do, do not underestimate it.
-
24/ You need remember only this: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
-
25/ One last thing: The ego is usually found hiding in two places (1) What you avoid (2) What your strongest attributes are.
-
26/ The ego will deflate (1) and inflate (2). Watch out for it. You will have to slay that dragon many times over.
-
28/ For more on ego I strongly recommend all of Aesop's fables, particularly "The Fox and the Grapes" which partly inspired these thoughts.

This thread is a revelation. I think I’ve gotten this particular point wrong, thinking that fear must be confronted and conquered.
-
But I can see how that sort of attitude can lead to putting your head in the sand. “Must protect ego!”

Better, as my friend
@BrianHoldefehr has been telling me, to feel fear often. It means you’re challenging yourself. -
Thanks for writing this thread, it’s among the best content I’ve read on twitter.
