Build the Intention of Peace
Clinging to a firm believing in the ego (as opposed to a naturally occuring sense of self) is based in fear;
Seeing through to (allowing the blossoming of) one’s true nature (as one of the interconnected beings on the planet) is based in freeing up the hold the sense of ego and fear has on oneself.
One does not give up themselves and become someone else, only their need to hold believing it as though it were fixed in place.
Food for thought on the journey to liberation.

You probably won’t be surprised, that it is related to giving to others.
Receiving, curiously and in opposition to what we may believe, does not increase, but decreases happiness.
Enjoy!
