E154: You Are the Ocean—Escaping the Limits of the Ego
This spiritual teaching uses the metaphor of ego-consciousness as an upside-down glass submerged in the ocean. The water (consciousness) within the glass is really the same as all the water outside the glass, but it sees itself as separate because it is looking through the barrier of the glass. This causes one to identify with a small, isolated sense of self instead of the infinite ocean of being. Ultimately, you are invited to stop identifying with the contents inside the “glass” and instead realize you are, and have always been—the ocean itself.
