The Cringe of Ego: Awakening Beyond The Mind

What is the "cringe" of the ego? Many of us feel like an "idiot" when we begin to see our own conditioning, especially in the intense environment of a meditation retreat. But what if this awkwardness is actually a sign of progress on the path to awakening? James discusses the uncomfortable process of the ego being exposed and explains why we often perform a "spiritual self" to hide our perceived flaws. Drawing on the metaphor of Lady Chiyo’s bamboo bucket and the The Work of Byron Katie, James reveals that non-judgmental awareness acts like warm sunlight, naturally melting the rigid ice sculptures of the ego.
