 I hear a lot of people talking about Ego death and I am, Wow!!! 
How can one live without an Ego? 

We must build a healthy connection with Ego, not kill it. 
Killing it, you become a narcissist.

#RandomThoughts 
 A Narcissist has no Ego, contrary to what many think. They can't test reality, they are always in "flight or fight" mode ( survival mode). They "use" others to validate their lack of self worth. Others are extensions of them. We don't exist as an outside person, to them. If you stop to give thempositive kr negative reaction, hence validate them, they have to find someone that will or else they decompensate. in extreme cases they feel what is called mortification.  Deep wound.
If you kill ego, you loose the hability to test reality and defend yourself from danger.  
 Then I think the name concept should be changed, because it leads to misconceptions and confusion. Ego is a very important part of the Self.  
 The Ego has nothing to do with IQ....

It's the part of the mind that mediates between conscious and unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity. 
How can you be a Saint without the hability to meditate between conscious from unconscious? 

Narcissists can't perceive reality from fantasy.  
 "The life you want to grow into, will ask you to gather and reclaim ingredients you may have lost along the way.
Your voice, 
your truth, 
your choice, 
your bravery, 
your boundaries and your care. 
Learn to recognise these things, 
to find them and gather them from your heart and belly. 
With these ingredients of inner power held strongly in your being, you can grow towards a life more attuned with your heart."
~ Brigit Anna McNeill

 Oh, even I like it ! 🤣 
I don't drink that much. Lol occasionally I do it, yes. And sing and dance ! 🕺💃 
 I love your paintings, how can I say, I enjoy better the ones that are not landscapes. Not saying I don't enjoy them, I do,  but you have a uniqueness when you paint others themes, that marvelous my soul.  ✨💜✨ 
 Today starts 13 days of light in the Mayan calendar. There are 20 symbols, accompanied by 13 tone... 
 I am a portal, in the Maya calendar. White dog, Red Moon. I don't remember well...

 I am a girl...and I like men... without tits.....🤣😅🤣 
 I thought amusing also....I am a girl, but not without sense of humour 🤣😂🤣😂 
But tits don't have the same effect on me....🤷😂 
 I think it's AI 😁😆😂🤣 
 Powerful ones, all of them ... ✨ 
They are protecting me at this time and giving me insights also.

I LOVE the Jasmine insence its super relaxing. I did use to drink tea for that effect but never thought about the effect of the insence burning ..lol
Who knows why!
I dont recall lavanda having the same effect but I reckon I was not so "aware"/ open / attentive, as I am at this time. 💖 
 Noooooo, it's a Dutch artist. Ivo Manus. 
 There is huge difference between being "nice" and being "kind".
Some people pretend to be nice and they play a good game. But their actions unavail their lack of empathy and unkind nature!
Do not dismiss when you see it!
People always show you who they really are! Believe them, before is too late !

 My colleagues at work are not my friends. This does not mean, that with time, I cannot build a bond with someone I like. After 20y at same place, first time, there is a girl I do like and connect differently. We might become friends, 😊 since day one there was a "familiar" energy exchange.

 Doesn’t need spells but if you did, it’s not love
GM frens nostr:note1f3sak4yjecmg0rwsrvu0l39... 
 I will never understand why people would do spells? Going against free will of another? That's obnoxious and gross. 
 Give it a try !

 I just woke up from the weirdest dream. Me and a couple of friends spent a whole day with Elon Mu... 
 Do you remember the questions and answers?  
 Animals are pure by nature. Humans come with DNA baggage...and some have a lineage they are supposed to break free from. Some do the work, and break the pattern, others continue the pattern.   
 You keep your heart light and look at life with wondering eyes ... Better said than done, but not impossible.
Walk without expectations...be open and vulnerable. 
 You baaaaaack! 🫂😃☀️
GM, all good ? 
 Thast was fast....😳😅 
 You guys always think that a young girl will be perfect until reality strikes....I remember recently saying to a friend, if you want someone you want to teach....go for it...lol 
 The reality is, not everyone has the patience nor the skills and openness to be a teacher and deal with immaturity and child's behaviour. 

I don't say is not possible, but I reckon only in peculiar circumstances it will work.
