Hello everyone. Welcome to the work. My guest today is Severe and her situation is her mother-in-law,

they're cleaning up after a dinner, they're at the dining room table table and her mother-in-law says simply

would you be terribly upset if we went with you referring to a trip to

Disneyland that Severe and her husband and children want to take alone.

And she sees her mother-in-law as entitled Boundaryless, aggressive, needy, unreasonable, and doesn't know how to say an honest

no, doesn't know how to just simply say, I love you, I care about you, and know.

It's so this ego of hers I think that if you're like me you

will relate to this ego is holding this great big no and wants to look like the loving, caring daughter-in-law and so generous.

And oh my goodness, you know, I'd like to say more, but you know know I'll leave you to be the judge

welcome to the work and let's sit together in self-enquireried. Oh who knows where that heart will lead you if you were open to it.

And you are open to it. The ego is not open to it.

That's the war. The ego offers it up. We believe it, which is a way of saying we attach to it.

That's attachment.

We don't attach, attach to people, places, and things we attach to what the ego offers up about people places and

them and them's and him and hers.

That is such good news.

Want to get quiet?

I want to test what I say, you want to get quiet?

If you really listen, you'll hear what you listen to all the time. Every waking moment.

The illusion false identification.

Duality. the heart and the apparent ego

I say apparent ego because ego is a state of mind you can't touch it you can't take it out I see Stephen at breakfast this morning
