Q: Are my pursuits in trying to start my own business another attempt at my ego to survive and something I should surrender now, or are these pursuits necessary for me to continue in order to live a more spiritual life?
A: You already know the answer to your question; the ego is always trying to survive, that it’ll use any chance it gets. But that it doesn’t matter near as much what you do, but rather, where your consciousness is concentrated. Is it totally identified with your persona and its actions? Or is it gradually becoming more identified with the awareness that it is? Events come and go, life flows through you. What matters is what you identify with. This is the choice that we make in every second.
