The ego is a fad

 fad

/fad/

   "younger children usually desire the latest fad that they'll probably soon lose interest in"

The ego is a fear, an aversion, a desire: f-a-d. In short, the “f-a-d” is the belief to be better off away from the present moment. The opportunity is to stay with that “thought-feeling-energy” and be willing to see it for what it is. It’s simple really, if we don’t do it now we never will! A new “fad” may present itself in the future, and it likely will anyway, but that’s quite ok. Having been willing to face the tension presently there is nothing in the future that will be any different. Having grasp the game conditioned mind plays with itself, every new spin on it is bound to be “fad-ing” as we look through it.
