“Philosopher and author Dr. Wayne Dyer calls the ego “edge god out.” It is the process of disconnecting with the creative, true force of the universe. It is the process of making you separate from it, others, nature, and the universe.”

“Everything we want in life is because we really want the emotion behind the goal. We want to feel accomplished, happy, powerful, and good. So we want the car, the house, the spouse, and the money because we believe they will bring us those emotions. All goals are really emotions disguised as things. And fear is the contrary belief that we either won’t get those things or will lose them once we have them.”

“The more you try to avoid something, the more you create it. There is no such thing as avoidance in energy because the energy is focused on the fear, not the desire. This is why we create things we don’t want and can’t understand how we did it. It’s usually because we took actions to avoid something we feared instead of taking actions to create the thing we desire.”
