I love watching oprah in my retirement years & now that she has her own channel, I get to see more of her. I love her spiritual wisdom. In this new season she has introduced her lifeclass series where she talks about what she has learnt over the years while interviewing her guests. in yesterdays class she was discussing how our ego plays role in defining ourself. I know this personally since after my stroke I was more traumatized by who am I question than stroke. It took me long time to find my self worth as a person post stroke. she & eckhart tolle (author of new earth) had nailed it when they talked about how our ego has its way of identifying with material possession, job position & titles, & how lost we feel hen we loose any of it. like small child when his toy has been snatched away from him after listening & reading book slowly I am realizing to pay attention to my ego, but ofcourse ego is sneaky & has it way of finding other titles, so I am still work in progress & love watching her life class. some one mentioned great line in that class which I should engrave in my head. "I don't think its possible for others to hurt me they are giving their observation, I am giving meaning to it", My hubby nails it when if he says something & I take it personally, he always goes don't wear that statement as hat it wasn't meant to be your hat"
