but the fact that we are ignorant about it.

Lacking self-esteem?
Feeling an impostor?
Unworthy?
Victim?
Savior?

These are all the traps that being ignorant about ego manifest as.

Be aware of it so that its grip on you loses its strenght.

How?

Bring your triggers in the open.
Understand your conditioning.
See how that is a story of convictions you can be free from.

Everyone has an ego, and everyone is awareness but not everyone will be able to be free from the first because the latter requires no effort or idea of betterment.

See what prevents you from being free from suffering and
peace of mind will be all that is left of you.
