The ego in us often gets triggered by others and we become angry, judgemental and defensive very quickly.

But the ego isn’t personal. It isn’t who you are. It just thrives on fear and judgement in order to survive and will always looking for a strong reaction.

Finding your true self, which thrives on love and intuition, requires separating from the ego. Non reaction to the ego in others is a powerful way to do this.

“Non reaction to the ego in others is one of the most effective ways not only of going beyond ego in yourself but also of dissolving the collective human ego.

But you can only be in a state of nonreactor if you can recognize someone’s behavior as coming from the ego, as being an expression of the collective human dysfunction. When you realize it’s not personal, there is no longer a compulsion to react as if it were.”

Eckhart Tolle
