“Power and energy games only exist in a relationship when the ego is at the wheel. When we heal our hearts, we can show up as mature beings in service to love.”

Chasing unavailable people is self abandonment.

When we heal ourselves, we heal our families. When we heal our families, we heal the world.

It’s not your job to awaken your family.

If you have to abandon yourself to make the relationship work, that’s not love.

You can love someone and still make the choice to let them go.

Chasing unavailable people is a sneak way for the ego to avoid intimacy.

Heartbreak can trigger childhood wounds.

Be the kind of person you want to date.

Ultra-independence is a trauma response.

Endings are also beginnings with a destination unknown.

Maturity is willing to acknowledge what you are willing to shift, learn or give to create the kind of relationship you want.

Life isn’t trying to break you down. It’s trying to break you open.

You don’t hold place for everyone’s shit.

You don’t have to be “finished” your healing work before entering into your relationship.

Imagine what you could be doing with all the energy you give away to people who don’t want what you want.

Choose the path that feels lighter.

Is your ego small enough, and your backbone strong enough, to raise others up high on your shoulders?

He grinned. Busted. Im a monster. Jev is my deceptively harmless and shockingly handsome alter ego. And im on top of it, she announced with witty triumph. Is that a freudian slip? His bluntness caught her off guard. A self-conscious blush rose in her face.

I have a huge ego and a huge inferiority complex at the same time.

The overriding problems are brought on by the existence of the ego, a maladaptive behavioral complex in the psyche that gets going like a tumor. If it’s not treated – if there’s not pharmacological intervention – it becomes the dominant constellation of the personality.

Every single ancient wisdom and religion will tell you the same thing – don’t live entirely for yourself, live for other people. Don’t get stuck inside your own ego, because it will become a prison in no time flat.

Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable.

The tension in the world is the tension between the ego and the feminine, not between the masculine and the feminine.
