Making Peace With The Ego | Ep. 016
What happens when we stop fighting ourselves? In many spiritual traditions, we're taught that the ego is the problem and that awakening requires us to transcend it, dissolve it, or leave it behind. But what if the ego isn't a mistake? What if it's an essential part of the human journey?
In this episode, Queenie explores a different perspective on the ego and its role in the evolution of human consciousness. Rather than viewing the ego as an enemy to be defeated, she considers both the ego’s shadow and its gifts. She suggests that the ego and the rational mind actually helped humanity arrive at this moment of spiritual awakening.
Through reflections on healing, consciousness, intuition, and the transition from separation to interconnectedness, this conversation invites us to move beyond the battle between mind and heart. Together, we explore the possibility that the next step in human evolution isn't the destruction of the ego, but learning to place it in service of love.
