I found this post by Steve to be particularly applicable to several things in my own life, and I know others are going through their own versions of ego “Chunk Dropping”.

“Of all the “I’s” that I am, the “I” of the ego feels most like an anchor that holds me down from rising into bliss. The I of the ego functions to promote the survival of me and everything I identify my survival with – my partner, my children, my extended family, my house, my car, etc.

“The ego has taken each explosion and arrived at a conclusion about it and a decision as to what to do in the future. The courses of action mandated by the decisions become the strands of the web, which the ego uses to entrap other people and render them powerless to oppose or threaten me… A lot of what we’re clearing now may not be seen as tied to a vasana [core issue]. We may just think of it as the way we’ve always done things.

“…gradually, as awakening expands, the individual begins to become a little shocked by some of the things that some part of them puts forward, speaks, etc. The “I” of everyday consciousness begins to distinguish between itself and the other “I’s” and wonders who this insistent, often aggressive, often unforgiving voice within itself is. In my experience, the more the ego is seen, the more we become able to contemplate letting go of it.

“…in the matter of letting the ego go, we can count on the help of the Company of Heaven, our star brothers and sisters, and our guides and we have the assistance of the rising energies.”

Time to Let Go of the Ego

The energies have reached a place where I’m feeling urges to drop large chunks of formerly relevant and insistent parts of myself.

The most insistent large chunk is the ego.

Of all the “I’s” that I am, the “I” of the ego feels most like an anchor that holds me down from rising into bliss.
