The ego’s shifting melodies
The ego’s rise and fall is like the shifting melodies in a symphony; each note playing its part, some loud, some soft, all part to the composition. Its thoughts and feelings are like passing chords, sometimes dissonant, sometimes harmonious. True freedom comes not from silencing the ego’s tune, but from letting it play without interfering. Embrace the rhythm, allow the crescendos and diminuendos, while you rest in the silence beneath every sound. Awareness is the constant, the deep, resonant pause between notes - the space that gives music its meaning. Letting go isn’t about muting the ego, but trusting in the quiet presence that makes the whole symphony possible.
The key is recognizing that this interplay is natural; the ego will always play its part, sometimes loudly, sometimes softly in the background. Let it do what it does, listen to its interesting melodies, but remember - they are just sounds passing through. Let them come and go, while you remain anchored in the stillness beneath.
