So, my answer to you today is to do that sometimes very [[difficult]] work of coming to know yourself, to [[recognize]] when it is your [[ego]] functioning and when it is your [[personality]] functioning in adherence to [[spirit]]. Let me ask you this: Which [[voice]] is it that says, "That's your ego! You get that ego out of the way!" ? Indeed, that is the voice of [[ego]]. So, you cannot [[force]] your ego into [[submission]], but you can [[love]] your ego into the proper [[functioning]] with the personality.
