When we start letting go of the ego, it appears sometimes as though the ego is getting stronger and stronger, and bigger and bigger. That's not true. It will never get any bigger than it is right now. What happens is, as we let go of it, more of it presents itself to us. We are looking at it more, and it appears sometimes the ego is getting bigger. Actually we’re just facing up to more and more of it, that was there all the time. Looking away from ego does not dissolve it. It just remains there until the time comes that we are forced to let go of it.
