Our ego’s job is to preserve the status quo by holding us separate. It does this by keeping us either one up or one down. Furthermore, the ego makes-up a lot of stories and is usually successful in convincing us that these stories are true. In other words, we believe our lies. Let me give you an example: Recently I got caught in the crossfire of someone’s anger which they projected at me. Even though logically I knew that I wasn’t to blame, nevertheless, I took it very personally. My ego was telling me that I just wasn’t good enough because if I was good enough, they never would have said that to me.

I felt sad and hurt. It was like someone knocked the wind out of my sail. I went for a walk. I kept hearing, “you’re just not good enough.” It was like a continuous tape loop. Tears were running down my face. I felt defective. Then this thought shot through my mind, “you’re giving your ego a lot of power by believing the lies.” A light went on. I began observing the ego’s clever tactics and its subtle manipulation to enroll me in these lies. “And I am allowing it.” I began to smile. I immediately felt better. I hadn’t even done anything but simply observed what was going on with my ego. I call it, ‘clipboard mode.’

It’s so easy to call the ego’s bluff. Eckhart Tolle says that all we need do is bring conscious awareness to what’s going on in order to break the unconscious pattern. Now, I catch my ego immediately and say, “hi ego, I see that you’re trying to make me feel badly.” Or, “thank-you for sharing.” No judgment involved. Then I smile. Clipboard mode works every time. Try it!
