Discover your true Self and dissolve the ego.
Have you ever been alone in nature and experienced a moment of profound silence? If so, you may have felt a sense of peacefulness and connectedness with the universe.
It is in these peaceful moments that you can find your true Self and unlock the potential to fulfill your life’s desires.
When you feel connected to your environment and the people within it, you realize you are not a separate entity that is cut off from the rest of the world. You can sense that the world is a connected field of energy that unites everyone and everything on the planet.
But not just the planet. Indeed, this field of energy is a boundless source of power for the whole universe.
Once you feel this connectedness and realize that you are not merely a solitary human being, but an integral part of the complex weave of nature, you may discover that your true Self knows no limitations.
By tapping into the energy within your true Self, you can achieve anything you wish, be it wealth and success or spiritual development.
But, in order to connect to your true Self, you must first dissolve the ego.
As long as you identify with your ego, you will continue to think of yourself as separate from the rest of the universe – a mere brain inside a physical body, confined and limited. And due to this restricted point of view, you will continue to be fearful, obsessed with survival and focused on external things such as social status and how other people see you.
When your ego is in charge, you lose your connection with your true Self and, with it, that endless field of potential energy.
Fortunately, you can always reconnect with your true Self by practicing silent meditation.
To do this, calmly focus your attention on your breathing and observe your thoughts without judgment. Gradually, you will become peaceful, and when your mind and body become still, your ego dissolves, allowing you to reconnect with your true Self.

Great app. Good selection of book summaries you can read or listen to while commuting. Instead of scrolling through your social media news feed, this is a much better way to spend your spare time in my opinion.
