Sit down and stare at the wall for 3 hours. Uncomfortable? Feels like a torture? Your ego is in control. You can’t silence it, you can only watch it. It cannot be silenced until it is discovered, and once it’s discovered it will go away on its own. Discovering it is not fun because it will use every tool in its arsenal to avoid being discovered. The closer it is to being discovered, the more hysterical it will become.
