I'm getting closer every day...

“My ego must understand that it becomes greater when it leaves me in peace.”

I define myself as a deeply cerebral person. I need to understand things. I don’t believe in revealed spirituality, but in reasoned spirituality.
This phrase came to me during a moment of tension and temptation, when my ego managed to whisper that my calm was laziness, and that my conscious renunciation was just fear of losing.

My ego wants to appear.
I want to be.
Two very different things.

What the ego cannot know, from its virtual perspective, is that the person I want to become — with a quiet mind and free of illusions — plays in a completely different league than any role it could perform.
Hence the paradox of my phrase:

If the ego stops bothering me, a real person begins to bloom — with all their essence, their kindness, and their gratitude toward life and others.

That has no price. But it holds immense value.

It may sound like a betrayal of the ego — like trading Jeff Bezos for the Dalai Lama.
But it’s not a trade.
It’s an invitation to the ego to perform its greatest act of nobility: to step aside.
To disappear, so that another may shine.

But not as a loser — as a silent guardian of a new clarity.
In this way, my self neither rejects nor dominates it.
It recognizes it. And honors it with elegance.

The ego becomes the guardian of its own humility.

Pointfulness, among many things, means exactly that:
To be full of meaning.
And today, that word reveals itself to me more and more.
My ego — once seen as an enemy — now deserves my compassion.
It is, after all, a virtual being that has walked with me for so many years.

And you?
Do you think your ego could accept an act of greatness — to let your true self emerge?
