By working with, not against the ego, we can slowly wear it down through time. Picture a polished river rock, smooth to the touch without any rough edges. Over time water has polished away the coarseness and sharp points leaving no hard edges. Acceptance is like water, working with infinite patience and subtle contact to change the shape and texture of the mind. Working with acceptance means observing the ego impartially, with neutrality and non-resistance. In doing so we can begin to accept the ego as part of our human makeup, as part of us. We don’t need to kill it or understand its origin; we need forgive it. Yes I said we need to forgive the ego. This is the start of the healing process; forgive the ego for it knows not what it does.
