Strephon does a podcast and vodcast on the nature of the ego. This can be important since what Strephon emphasizes is that everyone has an ego that can get in the way or developed in the right way, make one effective and fulfilled.

The choice is up to you!

Concepts covered: ego, ego identity, ego functions, ego choice-making, choice-making, awareness, consciousness, projecting, creative, right practice.

Suggestion: practice these concepts by making a list of choices at the end of your day, by discussing with a friend, giving personal examples, and by writing in your journal to the following:

1. -What does your ego identity consist of, such as images, expectations, family affiliations, attitudes, memories of who you were, whether you are that way today or not.
2. -Associate your ego self-identity to the strong choices you have made in your life so far. How have they defined you?
3. -Disidentify from these ego identities by knowing them but realizing you don’t have to live them in today’s terms just because they were you in the past.
4. -Soon after you arise from bed list the choices you are going to make today.
5. -At the end of your day before bed, list the choices you have made today.
6. -Keep a Choice-making Journal in which you do identity exercises, such as putting things in there about yourself and your choices at least once a week.
