The ego, like the Moon, doesn’t generate its own light, it only reflects what is already present.
When left unchecked, it distorts and stretches itself over you, influencing thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. But when harnessed, it becomes a tool rather than a master.
The Sun, your inner Source, your true essence, radiates from within, untouched by illusion.
The ego’s reflection can either obscure this light or serve as a guide, showing you where you still hold shadows. Mastering the ego isn’t about destroying it but aligning it, so it reflects your inner truth rather than distorting it.
It’s the difference between being ruled by tides or learning to navigate them.
