The ego loves to see its reflection in life over and over again.

What are these reflections?

Similar beliefs.

Similar behavior patterns.

Similar ways of looking.

But after awhile, we realize that we are not seeing life. We are seeing WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.

Looking for life to show us what we want to see is looking to reinforce our illusions. Our illusions invariably causes suffering because we so rarely understand how to interact with what is actually going on. Furthermore, doing so makes us feel disconnected because we don’t see who others truly are.

Finding connection with others is finding connection in ourselves. To do that, we have to face our illusions and beliefs and learn to let them go.
