Realizing the cause of a disease does not cure it. Likewise, seeing the ego as unreal, false, taking a passive approach by just “not getting involved” etc, does not heal it, but is only a willful denial. Convincing oneself that the disease is sacred and all the ego’s feelings are sacred is delusional as well. Rather, medicine must be applied. The remedy is grace alone which mutates the will of ego into the will of the Universe. Therefore, embody your life, wear the ego and then offer it all to this grace in loving devotion, so that you may be transformed and become One.-Atreya Thomas
