The Voice in Your Head Does NOT Want You to Know THIS | EGO 101 Masterclass

- There is an imposter on the loose! It lives in our heads. It sounds like us, it controls our bodies, and it pretends to be us. But in reality, this imposter is a maniac. I'm talking of course about the human ego.
This often maniacal ego is both very arrogant and very insecure. It's impatient and it's demanding. It places its self-importance above all else, including relationships and even our own inner peace. It must always be right, even when it's wrong. It thinks it's got it all figured out, but in reality all it's achieved is convincing us that we need it to survive and that it is our boss.
As long as the ego keeps us lost in thought, always comparing, always accumulating, always criticizing and complaining so that it can feel superior, never letting us feel satisfied and content for even a moment, then we will continue to suffer and be unable to break free from the ego's grasp.
In today's TH-cam video about the ego and how we can rise above it, I discuss in detail the nature of these egos we all have. I talk about why we have them, what their purpose is, and most importantly, what we can do to bring balance and peace back into our minds and back into our lives.

Human beings have had egos since the dawn of man. Today, with social media and online personas, now we have digital egos too. Our psyche is split in two, we live for the “gram” and we crave Likes and Follows. In my book, Digital Ego, I explore the nature of these newfound digital egos, what effect they are having on us, and how we can break free from the screens so we can live more fully, more authentically, and with more meaning and joy. Now available on Amazon at a.co/d/gom5sPG
I lived the life of a drug addict for 22 yrs, been clean many. i cant belive im still alive. God must have a bigger plan for me..❤
You are amazing ❤
Maybe you are g/d?
Possibly, the plan for your life is to accept that.
Perhaps you created that plan?
Paula,
I’m a Sober, “Brother” in Recovery!
The 40th year in Sobriety recently occurred in my life; this was such a perceived impossibility at a time in my life journey.
I’m grateful for your presence in my journey, albeit thru a comment you posted.
🙏💜🙏
Namaste Sister!
God has taken on the role of an addict, and its part of the play, now it’s time to shine as the true and infinite supreme Self
❤
Now imagine if only a small percentage of the human race would detach from ego and just witness the mind without engaging. We would see so much peace.
You cannot quiet the mind(unless you do certain distractions) it dosnt know how to be quiet, let the thoughts come & go just don't attach to them..💚
This video came to me when I really needed it. My ego is dying , it’s desperately trying to cling on , it’s causing so much pain but I know this is needed for me to be free. This touched my soul ❤ Thank you 🙏
"Our true source of ALIVENESS comes from Life itself"...
I LOVE this quote of yours!! ❤
I can see my EGO. Thanks to you. 🌴
I will always remember the “puppy staring at us till it gets our attention” Thank you Todd sending 💕 and gratitude 🙏
🙏
I liked the puppy and learning how to ride the bike analogies. When I simply observe the thoughts or watch the thoughts I relax. How easy it is for the bike to wobble all over the place and sometimes I fall off and it hurts. Simply being here and now, is heaven on earth. When my mind is quiet, I have no problems, issues, stressors, complaints, wants, or even needs. I am practising staying on the bike and peddling through my days.
Oh that ego will get you. It's human to have it but by 'being ' you feel your real self. You and Eckhart teach power points in similar ways. So valuable and when practiced daily they can blossom quickly. I love it. I get all sparkly and my body gets tingly when i 'get it' because it does affect the body when you get it right.
Neat comment, thanks 😊❤
Love the sparkly tingles when you really get it right 🥰
Be Here Now
Be here now is always better than. Wasp there tomorrow.
Excellent EGO Enlightenment !
We need an ego,but a healthy one.
Thanks for the wisdom Todd,always grateful 👍
Yes, this is so important. I hear a lot of people make it sound like you have to get rid of it.
Good comes with bad. The world of duality is the problem. The ego grows in this realm. The right thing happens spontaneously when we are egoless, i.e. unselfish, unself- centered.
Thank you Todd!!!!!
This is literally life altering wisdom. So grateful it just dropped into my orbit 🙏🏻💫😇 !
❤Agreed 😊
Yes, agreed
Beautiful, a wonderful man, and a brilliant video that makes you realize a few things, thanks,
Thank you!🙏❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Namaste 🙏 💚
Thank you ❤
Thankyou Todd peaceful presence so beautiful love your explanation 💚🙏
I am incredibly thankful to you for sharing your wisdom with us. 🙏🏼❤️💫
This is pure gold. Thank you for uploading this wisdom... 🌻
Great. You are very needed and loved , Brother Sun
❤🙏
I just wantvto say, I am grateful. I am grateful that is you that I am listen now. Every since I have found your very first video it's been a life's saver for what life is going on lately in my journey. Thank you for putting these out here out there. It's been so hardship on my own journey feels as if everything is on shift and watching these materials is a support to travel through. 💜 truly
Thanks Todd for your content here!
Thanks. Learning about the ego and what to do about it is life transforming. A person then grasps how thinking, emotions and behaviour work for and against us.
Felt so peaceful after watching this 😌
Even your work is ego , can’t escape the mind as you can’t not think about something you think about, as it’s you in your mind
Had to immediately replay this important, crucial and relevant message that addresses the conflicting story I’ve been listening to! May have to listen a few more times😉 Thank you Todd for being our spiritual teacher🙏
I love you❤️
Edging God Out. E - G - O
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity 🙏
Thank you my friend ❤.. Wise , Beautiful , Truth
Thank you Todd!! I keep on watching your videos and each one just gets better than the last one ❤ Pure golden teachings. THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. ❤
Brilliant advice Todd, the ego is very powerful, it's eventual aim is to help you survive in many ways, think 🤔 of it as a friend, but a friend you can observe and not react too, the ego is only trying to install survival instincts, we talked about this at the Buddhist centre i go to in Manchester 🕉 once again Todd brilliant information and advice
The benefits of Ego explained with such Clarity. Thank you so much.
You explained everything in a so clear way❤Thank you, it was a sheer pleasure to listen to your calming voice while walking😊
You can not survive without the ego, but it needs to learn to be in service of us instead of control of us.
Deepest thanks from my heart to you for perfectly explaining what the ego is ❤️🙏
Absolutely can survive without an ego. It is a developmental stage one can shift out of through perceiving thought
The only currency the ego deals in is fear. That all it knows. It is like a scared animal. Reactionary and irrational. In most situations it is your visceral first exclamations....Learn to take a step back and pause before you speak. Observe what the ego wants you to say before you choose to commit to it. Great video, be well everyone 🙏❤️
Great Wisdom. Very 🙏 grateful ❤.
Ego is the devil that fooled the world into thinking it does not exist.
Thanks Todd for keeping up the work. One thing I find irritating is all the supermodels meditating. Seems they didnt meditate for one minute in their life. Not very authentic ...for my "ego" of course 😊
Yeah, I smile at this teaching being used like a fashion accessory. But if it's sincere, fine.
Everyone, especially our political and religious leaders and the rest of us. Children do not have these problems. Children are in the moment. Children don't have prejudices. Unfortunately they are taught so many hateful things. if we listen to others WE MAY LEARN SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE. There is so much to learn about ourselves. I'm now following Todd Perelmuter because what he says makes sense.
Todd, how did you reach this wisdom? Did you have an espiritual experience? An special event occurred to you that made you change your awareness…?
Thanks for the question. I will answer it in my newsletter so that others who have a similar question can hear as well ❤️
Thank you for helping clear what are very muddy waters for us. ❤
Thankyou for making Buddhism more accessible and understandable through the use of everyday (none mystic) language.
Danke!
Thank you so much for your generosity 🙏
Oh My, thank you so much for this. I really needed it today.
As a former touring musician, I had the tendency to identify as such. After a car accident in 2015 rendered me totally disabled and I felt completely lost, as if I had nothing left to give.
I've been working on fixing myself and the way I think about myself for about 4 years now. Meditation, yoga, and just learning who I am without all of that.
But what you said about the Ego and Achievements really hit home.
Thank you, again.
I just stumbled upon you on TH-cam and you have quickly become one of my favorite messengers! Thank you! I feel so present during and after listening to you!
Ty for your time you give for us whom are away from you at distance measured in miles.
Your gift of sharing is needed and appreciated.
Thank you
Samuel with ❤
I can’t just watch my ego, because the emotions which come with that feeling, are so overwhelming that I can’t bare it 🙏🏼
❤
Thank you Todd!! You've brought me back!!!
Thank you so much sir... U are incredible 😊
LOVED THIS ! Thanks for making this video and sharing this message !!! We all need this !
Thank you so much for this Tod 💜🇬🇧
Gratitude for this message. So relevant to me right now, as I write in my "ego event log", my ego needs to know that I am paying some attention to it.
We left nothing but Footprints. ❤
There’s a passage in the Bible that says ‘Turn the other cheek’ and I think that really refers to a lack or decrease in ego. Think about it…if someone smacks you in the face for any reason, the ego is responsible for any reaction. Lack of ego will warrant a response instead of a reaction.
Im thankful i found your channel through a friend. I'm learning and relaxing so much at the same time . This is like soothing like meditation ❤thank you
I love your videos ❤
Thank you 🙏
This was awesome
what a beautiful Man and so helpful wising us all up
this is an amazing video so full of wisdom, will need to revisit this one. i wish i could ingrain this message to me, i always identify with my ego, the false self :/ a powerful force. thank you
Thank you for such deep teaching. Warm regards.
Todd my guru 🙏
🙏
Thank you, Todd. I hear ans see Rupert Spira and Sadhguru in one person. Every single word is meaningful. So glad the algorithm suggested me your videos last week! ❤
Eye opening video thank you for this content ❤️
Beautiful reminder. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank YOU
Fantastic... Luv u ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
My EGO,... has destroyed me. 5:23 " SO MANY PEOPLE WHO RETIRE SUFFER IMMENSELY ".. 😫 that is ME.,
Im dieing. The Stress and Anxiety, Insomnia... led to severe depression. Mental and physical health 😧 I lost interest in everything. Im not enjoying life at all anymore. [ purpose, identity, structure, workplace atmosphere, coworkers, friends etc ] you don't know what you had, till it's gone.... im searching for anything that might help,... but, just knowing my job is gone, and im not returning. 😩
I loooove your sharings.
THE EGO LOVES TANTRUMS ❤️ 👍 amazing, this is exactly what it is. Thank you TEDD. I appreciate your work. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow! Nothing else to say
Keep up the beautiful work. Not only is your voice and face quite calming but the visuals you have chosen were just right. Do you have any book recommendations on this topic? ❤
Love you. I dig into this the most in my book, Digital Ego ❤
Thank you🙏🪷
You put me to bed. That tune
🙏
Our ego is trying to protect us. It is fueled by fear from a much deeper place of survival. Well intentions that lead to hell.
❤🙏🏼
Why do so-called spiritual people always look like Euro-Jesus? Why can't I have a clean haircut, clean shave "and" be spiritual too!? (btw: my ego is asking this question)
Lol
Aaron Abke clean cut
thanks and hope it helps people... might be careful not to talk like ya know... ya know? Blessings on your path!;)
Ego is a great servant, but a bad master. That's why I like the way your limned the ego as a kind of pet to be tamed, rather than a wild beast to be hunted and killed.
So, now that we agree that the ego cannot (and should not) be destroyed, what to do? I submit that, given all the misery, horror, and tragedy in the world today - all due to egoism and its discontents, we should not kill the ego but transform it. And the most promising direction in which that transformation can go is from ego to emeis - that is, from "I" to "We."
The obviation of egoism, and the mass conversion of the personal ideology of identification from egoism to altruism, can only eventuate in a threefold win-win-win for humanity, for when the centripetal appetitive energies of my personal identity are de-centered from my little mortal body to our collective Superbody - the body of humanity at large - this will result in three boons:
1. "I" will no longer feel personal suffering about what happens to this tiny piece of flesh, but in experiencing the suffering of all in and as my Superbody, "I" will be more motivated to act for the sake of all 8 billion of us - only for the sake of the common good: "All for one and one for all."
2. There will be a radical decrease in the consumption of natural resources, which have heretofore been driven by egoistic desires and personal appetites with no consideration of the externalities of overconsumption on the other living beings on the planet. Prodigal consumerism and senseless waste, being the heart of the current world metacrisis will decline, if not vanish altogether. Wars and all other expressions of violence will disappear, because "I" am now everybody, our Superbody, and not just some terrified little "me" protecting his fleshed-encased vortex of endless appetites, his reputation, his bank account and nationality, and his personal property, seeking desperately to feed itself, protect itself, reproduce itself before death snuffs it out.
3. In acting for the Supebody rather than my mortal body, I will finally have achieved the age-old desideratum of immortality. Our Superbody will be nothing more than me myself, and "I" will have gained a source of a virtually infinite joy, love, and pleasure far exceeding any that "I" could have experienced as an isolated ego limited to the skin and five senses of this body, which is slated for the grave. The concentrated bliss and happiness of the whole human race will be equivalent to my bliss and happiness, multiplied 8 billion times over.
When my personal identity is obviated, transferring who "I" am and what "I" identity with, moving its location from this pathetic mortal coil to the Superbody of humanity at large, after the necessary death of an ego that has always associated itself with this fallible flesh, "I" will be resurrected into a New Vessel: the All-Human Superbody.
Those who have been initiated into this new universal religion of Universal Superhuman Altruism, will take the first step into their new life as repentance: forsaking their former idolatry of personal ego, and stepping into the light of altruism - meaning compassion, care, and the love of all, meaning that the health and happiness of Humanity becomes my ultimate concern.
After having totally committed my personal identity to Humanity as whole, I will take on a new personal pronoun, replacing "ego" with "emeis" - that is, "I" with "We." This new pronoun will represent the renewed mind of the Sacred Human and our Holy SuperHumanity, who has died to the flesh, buried the ego, and then been resurrected as the deathless Emeis.
This resurrection is Humanity's only hope
Is our desires ego syntonic or ego alien? Sometimes in life we reach a crossroads, where to avoid or ignore the issues becomes more difficult than to face them.
Can you teach me to meditate please, i think i could learn how to do this now. 🙏

Here's a guide to help you with meditation
When did you decided to leave your matrix job? Where did you lived after that knowing that you have mortgage or rent due?
Not mind blowing but good video
Are you sure?
🫶✨
It's creepy seeing people wearing their Chains aka The Mask of Chains, SHAME & Ignorance. I sure hope that's not in America. The Market WILL crash it's going to make 2008-11 look GREAT! Another great video. Thanks Todd, next time remove the creepers wearing their chains. LOL
