This is a YouTube video titled "What Is Hiding beneath the Ego? | Eckhart Tolle" containing a spoken segment from November 24, 2023. The content features a speaker discussing the nature of ego, unconscious behavior, and the deeper true being beneath egoic conditioning, consistent with Eckhart Tolle's teachings. However, the excerpt only includes one speaker and does not show a conversation involving Eckhart Tolle directly.
The more often you are right, and the more right you are, the bigger the ego is. You feel more acknowledged in your sense of who you are. That's why she loves criticizing. But of course she doesn't know what she's doing. It's all unconscious. But if you recognize that this is what she's doing, then you realize that's not your mother at all. The true being of your mother is somewhere hiding underneath all that stuff. It's obscured by all the egoic conditioning. It's hiding somewhere there. But you strengthen the egoic patterns by opposing them.
