I had been experiencing the egoic play for a few days after visiting a family friend's house.. A powerful technique that broke me free of it, was going back to the very moment before I behaved the way my ego was fearing, and experiencing myself in those moments and realizing it was a conscious choice I made to behave in that way... Further confirming- it is all just the ego's play....But something in me was believing in the ego- that I WAS the ego- a totally separate energy in the body it seems- the one with this specific personality- Are we really it though?
