Many years ago, Einstein predicted we should be able to hear gravitational waves: big events that happened in outer space. But, how could you possibly hear something like that? Some of you probably keep a stethoscope handy, right? You use it hear the pulsations in your body, like a heartbeat. Maybe, Einstein and later astrophysicists thought, we could do something like creating a stethoscope so big we could capture sounds from many light years away? What would it look like?
The ego is something we can’t see. But, even though we can’t see it, we can observe it in our own lives every day. Our fears, awareness of self, concerns about what the future holds, and what other people are getting are all evidence of our egos at work. We are defensive, afraid to apologize, and afraid to speak up because of our egos. That doesn’t mean the ego is bad. It’s not. It’s kind of like the Universe’s Dark Energy and Dark Matter. The ego is there. It can’t not be there if you’re a human. We see it’s footprints throughout human lives. All too often, though, we see something defensive in the ego. Again, it’s simply human.
