currently reading eckhart tolle's a new earth: awakening to your life's purpose.

i'm hoping this book stirs up something, be it profound enlightenment or at the very least something to chew on. and it did; the point below, buried in a chapter about ego, the body, resentment, and greed, somehow pierced my mind:

your ego is who you think you are, or who you perceive yourself to be. it's the image in the bathroom mirror, be it good or be it bad. however, it's not who you really are. it's all an illusion. awareness and ego cannot coexist. welcome to a life beyond yourself.
