E197: Why People’s Opinions Have Power Over You
About this episode
Ego causes suffering because it constantly worries about how people and circumstances relate to its self-image and personal preferences. Every experience ego resists becomes stored inside as emotional baggage, creating ongoing anxiety, reactivity, and separation from our deeper spiritual nature. By practicing acceptance, surrender, and the ability to handle life’s experiences without resistance, we free ourselves from egoic suffering and reconnect with the divine consciousness within.
